In the code below, I change it to 3 where the title has to <b>exactly</b> match. So if the actual title is <em>"Internet Explorer - Deltek Vision" </em> or something to that effect, you have to replace <em>"Deltek Vision"</em> down there with <em>"Internet Explorer - Deltek Vision."</em> In my example I did that so for your script just replace the title.</p> <p><code>#Persistent<br /> SetTitleMatchMode, 3 ; sets so the title has to exactly match<br /> WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On<br /> Run %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.Exe <a href="http://appserver/vision/#" rel="nofollow">http://appserver/vision/#</a><br /> Sleep, 5000<br /> WinActivate, Internet Explorer - Deltek Vision<br /> Winclose, Internet Explorer - Deltek Vision</code></p> <p>So this will only close that window and will not close Deltek Vision 5.1.

It has every one of the printed keys on the slim aluminum keyboard (with keypad) working more or less as it should on a mac. (the only difference is the F5 key which summons the task manager in windows :D) another thing of note is that for this to work just swimmingly, you need to install two stand alone programs called <a href="http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/volumouse.html">Volumouse </a>and <a href="http://insentient.net/">switcher</a>. Volumouse is designed to make the scroll wheel on your mouse a volume wheel, but in options I just set a rule so that some combo I’ll never accidentally use has control over the brightness and script AHK to do that for F1 and F2. And switcher is a nice way to create the exposé effect on a windows machine.<a href="http://blog.lib.umn.edu/ayubx003/dividebyzero/2009/01/05/expose_for_windows_vista_clone.html"> Some guides online</a> can help you set it up so it looks JUST like OS X’s exposé feature, but either way it’ll get the job done. Another thing I should mention is the Eject key WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT DRIVERS! So I instead ignored it and went the apple pro keyboard route and put the eject on the far right hand F-key (F19). Since I also have a second optical drive, when you hold ctrl and press F19 it opens and closes the secondary drive! If your drives don’t follow the naming conventions I have, its ok just change the drive letter in the code itself to match yours! And lastly to make my knock-off mighty mouse activate exposé I set it to activate switcher’s hotkey when both mouse buttons are pressed, again that is up to you to change. </p> <p>Of special note, the sites and ideas that I compiled to make this AHK script are all noted in the code itself in a comment.

My clients , with the exception of 1 so far (2 years as a freelancers) have not required any backend PHP / MYSQL / RUBY type work. I usually work with small / local business. So my process can be much different then an agency's process</p> <p>My process works out like this.</p> <p><b>1. Send client the request for service form.</b><br /> This asks all the right questions, things like who has final approval, sample sites they like and why, budget, needs of the website (CMS, PHP MYSQL, ETC), sample flow charts if available. Also this form showcases my entire portfolio and outlines my design process in-detail. This also outlines who will be responsible for copy. I collaborate with another designer and a writer. I make it a point to tell the client that I am not a writer, and that copy for their website will cost extra. This service form also outlines any SEO / Internet Marketing / SMM services they might require, which is also extra.</p> <p><b>2. Create a wireframe </b><br /> After i receive the form i generate a wireframe of the home page and usually 1 other page. Mainly i deal with local small business and have not needed to make more then two different looking pages (home and secondary). This wireframe showcases layout of key items and allows the customer to begin giving feedback early so that changes are lest costly (in time and cash) down the road. It is at this stage that i being implementing the copy either from the client or my writer.</p> <p><b>3. Translate the wireframe into PSD</b><br /> Pretty self explanatory - after the client approves the wireframes, i then "skin" everything. Adding in colors, icons, etc. I usually stick to the 960 Grid system, but if the job is on a budget i.e. &gt;$1000 it usually involves the client selecting a template and me editing it. </p> <p><b>4. Translate the PSD into XHTML and CSS with a sprinkle of JQuery or Moo</b><br /> I find this process a lot less time consuming if i did the PSD and Wireframes in detail. When i first started out this would take so much time because I was always looking up how to do "x" and now, most of my clients at least, sites are pretty feature-generic so this a breeze.</p> <p><b>5. Test for compatibility / accessibility / w3c</b><br /> I run these tests in FF, Opera, Safari, IE 7/8, and Chrome. Also i disable javascript and css3 to ensure everything degrades nicely. I usually dont go as far to disable CSS to see how everything looks, but I do disable CSS to see the site from SEO standpoint. I run validation on w3c and css, get it validated. Actually on a side note, i only started doing this recently.</p> <p><b>6. Perform basic user testing</b><br /> My clients are usually within the $1000-$5000 range, so extensive user testing is usually overboard and excessive. I do basic UT throughout the design process with my other designer, wife, and mom. Then typically i run 2-5 tests on <a href="http://www.usertesting.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.usertesting.com</a></p> <p><b>7. Present final copy to client for revisions</b><br /> Unlike the stereotypical designer, i really do not mind implementing client revisions. Most of their requests can be argued against the documented user testing videos - but i usually do not hassle them too much. Typically I budget ANY job with up to 15 hours of revisions throughout the process. The client is made aware from the start that exceeding this will incur a fee.</p> <p><b>8. Setup Analytics and Submit to search engines</b><br /> Even if clients do not select an Internet Marketing / SEO / SMM campaign, I always create the site from the start to be Search Engine Friendly using things like Meta Tags, Title Tags, Text Navigation, alt tags, Robots.txt, and Sitemap.xml. Most of the time clients wave important services like "keyword research" or "copy creation" and it hurts their site some when I just throw in "best guess" words in their Meta, Titles, and Headers. I also setup google analytics and submit their URL to Google &amp; Bing. </p> <p>Thats pretty much it.</p> <p>There is alot more that goes on "behind the scenes". I take alot of my business ideas from the book the 4 hour work week, and much of the admin stuff is handled by virtual assistant. I like to focus on just design, and project management, sales, book keeping, etc. are all handled by someone else. Its not that I do not know how to do these things (i have a business degree) but I'd rather be involved and get lost in my day doing something I really love. Design. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/how-do-you-develop-your-websites#post-1612 Sat, 13 Mar 2010 16:48:00 +0000 matt5409 1612@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>A lot of people have so far spoken about the tools they use for actual development but in terms of developing a website from the beginning you should really plan the development at design stage.</p> <p>I use Photoshop to design the pages (like probably 95% of designers). It's worth mapping out all your main pages in the design first, thinking about how you are going to build them in HTML/CSS and considering their performancein terms of usability, browser accomodation and even SEO.</p> <p>Like Alex I use Dreamweavers code view. A lot of hardcore devs vote against Dreamweaver, calling it an amateur's tool, but the syntax highlighting is brilliant and it offers a lot of helpful tools (like document formatting, code inspection and, as mentioned, FTP capability).</p> <p>The best way to learn is by doing, and always keep abrest of new technologies. There's nothing worse in this day and age than seeing people selling web services when their homepage is built using tables, makes us of inline CSS and javascript, and is a million miles away from W3C validation :)</p> <p>Good luck! </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/ahk-windows-with-similar-names#post-1610 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:48:06 +0000 groelzj 1610@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>I'm trying to modify a .ahk file to turn it into a shortcut that users can click on from their desktop instead of having to launch internet explorer and then click on a bookmark.</p> <p>#Persistent<br /> winset,alwaysontop,on<br /> run c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.Exe <a href="http://appserver/vision/#" rel="nofollow">http://appserver/vision/#</a><br /> sleep,5000<br /> WinActivate,Deltek Vision<br /> Winclose,Deltek Vision</p> <p>The trouble is, the name of the second window that is opened is "Deltek Vision 5.1" and it ends up closing the second window instead of the first.</p> <p>When the link is clicked from IE, we don't have that trouble.</p> <p>Any advice?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.<br /> Jon </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/lets-do-a-simple-ahk-project-together-avi-joiner#post-1609 Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:48:28 +0000 pedram 1609@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>I just get a black screen when playing video joined with this program, so I had to revert back to joining with VirtualDub.

Netbooks are another matter though. If they do keep their niche (which I doubt they will if tablets take off) then yes sooner or later considerations may have to be made to design for their screen sizes. Although many of them can handle 1024*600 so you should still be able to design for that resolution and be fine.</p> <p>Totally agree with the IE6 thing as well... people have started to get the message about IE6 now. Microsoft have even gotten on board. If anyone is worried about their IE6 users then you can set up a stylesheet to offer a severely limited but still functional version for them without having to cut back the user experience for the more modern browser. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/how-do-you-develop-your-websites#post-1601 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:28:32 +0000 pixauth 1601@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>Not a pro by any means, but I use a combination of stuff - Dreamweaver when I'm at my desk, my host's web interface for quick tweaks on the road, and a smattering of Flash thrown in there because I love Flash. Haters, go ahead and dump on me, but I do. I agree with alexward that you NEED to thoroughly test your site in different browsers, although I have stopped testing for IE6 compatibility, and also run it through several validators. However, I think building for the resolutions he talks about may be a bit restrictive - I TRY to build for smaller displays, because of the trend away from desktops, and toward netbooks/tablets.

For example when I started to use Launchy I had to enter "fire" to start my Firefox, now it's enough to pop up the Launchy window enter "f" and press enter. By that way all often used programs are only a view keystrokes away and I do not have to alter the script, when I install new software.<br /> Additionally Launchy is capable to do some other things, e.g. basic calculations or opening webpages, delegate web searches and more.</p> <p>Launchy is comparable with Slickrun mentioned above. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/autohotkey-signout#post-1540 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:33:47 +0000 matteotom 1540@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>nevermind, i found it. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/autohotkey-signout#post-1539 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:19:55 +0000 matteotom 1539@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>ok, i got the mediamonkey part done, now i just need to know is there is a command line option to Trillian Astra Pro, or if I can set a hotkey to logout. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/an-ide-dream#post-1537 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:37:12 +0000 spirion 1537@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>Like a lot of open source projects AutoHotkey has a lot of excellent tools and components that their jobs very well but lack a high-level structure to tie them all together in one place. Some day I dream there will be a comprehensive AutoHotkey IDE (integrated development environment):</p> <p>Specifically:</p> <p>- GUI: Combine SmartGUI, MsgBox Creator, SplashImageCreator, Graphic Buttons, Compile AHK<br /> - Inclusion of External Components to seemlessly extend funtionality: GDI+, COM, ImageMagick, FFMPEG, 7zip, Curl<br /> - Editor: Use Scite4AutoHotkey as main editor but add a QuickAHK function to run temporary scripts without saving a new file</p> <p>*Wishlist item: Object aware context menu to make GUI changes on the fly (i.e. right-click on text = change font, right-click on a GUI dialouge = change size, change color, etc...)</p> <p>I know enough about programming to know this would take someone who understands the fundementals of programming and how to structure things effectively and efficiently. </p> <p>For people who do know what that would entail, is it feasible and practical? </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/autohotkey-signout#post-1535 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:19:00 +0000 spirion 1535@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>I think this is just too obscure of a use case and really to do it well someone would need your exact set of software to test it. It's a great situation to learn how to use Autohotkey and it's macro recorder "AutoScriptWriter" would be able to get you awfully close. </p> <p>It's worth it and it's really not as hard as you might think to get to the point where you're functional:</p> <p><a href="http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm</a> </p>
