Super WebGame MegaTimer 2012

While doing important research into wasting precious hours poking at facebook apps for insight into making them myself, I noticed I was losing myself wading thru insidious advertising ploys. For revenge I made this timer so I wouldn't need to wonder if my wheat had grown or my e-fish are starving. You can add times in two ways, by inputting the hour and minute manually, or by entering the %completed of an object you're waiting on. Check it out if you find yourself drawn to e-farms or i-villes. Created in Visual Basic 6.

ScreenJobber

Hooks the Print Screen key to automagically take a screenshot of your current display and save it to your choice of directory in your choice of image format. Sometimes useful for taking screengrabs of games that don't have such a feature built in. Created in VS2008, requires .net 2.0+

BillyMP3

After getting tired of winamp crashing a lot and wmp being gigantic and in the way I made this. Just a music player with a simple playlist and an optional hook for media keys, plays mp3, wma, wav, CD audio and internet radio. Created in VS2008, requires .net 2.0+

ZhiMUD 200X

v0.99.006

A contemporary client for MUDs, MUCKs and any other terminal style interface. Though it's still technically a wip, I feel somewhat confident about it's balance of utility and simplicity. This is also a test of an app that checks for and dls upons request any available webupdate, and installs prereqs thru a bootstrapper during installation. Users of Win98 would be better served with just the binary [here]. Created in VS2008.

IMG2IMGTAG

Tiny utility made by request, allows you to select a directory of image files and create a copy/pasteable list of <img> tags pointing to them, could be a timesaver putting up a large internet image gallery or somesuch. Created in Visual Basic 5.

GULUAMP

Lightweight browserdeployed video/music player as seen on page 1. While many flashbased music players exist, I made several songs that just don't work as well without their intended video backdrop so I needed something to play music and video, and optionally in fullscreen if you wanted to pass on teenytinyvision. Because they're tiny I included both the Flash9 and Silverlight2 versions of the player, additionally includes optional autoplay, randomplay and remote list inclusion.

NoizeMaster

Made for a fren who had trouble sleeping in winter without the drone of a fan, this is simply a looping boxfan noise machine, though i added some cute gdi+ to entertain the user. Created in VS2008, requires .net 2.0+

Prioritizer

Often the backup comp was sufficient to run semirecent games and utilities if they were switched to high priority mode, but changing priority manually every time was annoying so I made this to do it for me. Prioritizer shells an exe either selected in an openfile dialogue or one passed as a commandline argument and changes its priority to high. Created in VS2005, requires .net 2.0+

DosBox FE

A graphical frontend for DosBox. It does only the things I personally wanted to simplify, mounting a targeted exe in DosBox, and organizing custom config files so they're easy to access and modify. Created in Visual Basic 5.

DateSlider

A simple means to circumvent the trial days limitation of certain shareware, I made this in particular so I could continue using Animagic forever even though the company no longer seems to exist. Created in Visual Basic 5.

DeFetch

Some people seem to think that prefetching is bad news, though I don't personally believe it. Regardless, I made this to simplify the clearing process. When run it removes all files with a .pf extension from the windows/prefetch directory. Created in VS2008, requires .net 2.0+

 

I discovered to my irritation that the VB5 runtime is no longer included with microsoft OSs starting with vista so I'm putting it here for convenience.
