Here, you can get some of the projects that I've worked on over the years. A lot of them are unfinished, ugly, and come without help/support...quite a few, however, also come with the source code.
Do what you want with the source, I don't care at this point honestly...some of the projects are so old, that I don't do anything with them anymore...but maybe someone can learn a thing or two from them. All of these projects were written for a reason. I don't like buying software that does "this that and the other thing" if all I need it to do is "this and that". In those cases, I write my own software that does exactly what I need it to do, nothing more...nothing less. Some of the software, such as the Christmas Cards program, was done for a family member. I don't guarantee anything with these projects...with exception to the 2 Ultima projects. I wrote these programs for personal use...so don't flame me if you don't like the way something was done - because as I said before, they were made for me (or family), and no-one else. I also will *not* be supporting any of them, except the Ultima projects (they have a page to themselves - see my Ultima Online section).
I have broken the software down into categories..one category for each of the development environments that they were created with.
Visual Basic
Alarm Clock Download
This is a quick and dirty alarm clock. My real one stopped working...and I didn't feel like paying $30 for a new one that played CDs. So...I created this one since my computer was on all the time anyways. It will play a CD, or a WAV file. It also has a snooze button.
Christmas Cards Download
I wrote this for a family member that liked to keep track of christmas cards that they sent and received every year. It's a simple interface...even if a little clunky. Uses a MS Access database to store information.
Eye Download
I wrote this as an experiment. This is actually version 2. The first version didn't use classes, and was horrible on performance. This one is cooler. It's an eyeball that follows your mouse around the screen.
Garfield Download
I used to have this on my calculator, and thought I'd have fun moving it to a VB program using Line and PSet...and here it is!
Machina Screen Saver Download
I love The Smashing Pumpkins...so I decided to write a screen saver. It uses artwork plates that it cycles through (credits are in the about box), and, if you have a CD in your CD drive (preferrably, Machina!), it will play the CD as well.
Melt Screen Saver Download
This is an interesting screen saver...it makes your screen appear to melt...
Moon Phases Download
I wrote this as a test to see if I could decipher some formulas for my Desktop Calendar Program.
Process List Download
I wrote this out of sheer boredom. The class files were directly taken from MSDN.
Recipes Download
I wrote this for my wife...who still uses it a bit. It stores recipes, and let's you print them out as well.
Task Scheduler Download
I had a need at one point to schedule certain tasks in a way that the Windows Task Scheduler didn't allow at the time...so I wrote this. I no longer use it, as the built-in task scheduler does more that I need it to now.
Tray Minimizer Download
I did this program once upon a time when I saw a similar program that you had to pay for, and I thought it was neat - so I tried to clone it. It's pretty effective on hiding tons of windows if you need to...though, I no longer use it...and it does have a bug or two.
Visual Studio 2002
Route Tracker Download
I used to deliver newspapers. Keeping track of customers, their instructions, and a "deliver list" was a big pain...so I spent a few days writing this. The interface is lacking...but it works, and allows you print out a route list, among other things. Might be helpful for other people out there that deliver papers. You can keep track of more than one "route" if you need to, separately.
Stickies Download
This was just another one of my "I'm bored and want to play with programming today" projects. It's unfinished, and has bugs...but, hey...it's free!
Yahoo! Archive Download
I debated whether or not to release this...but since it was somewhere on the internet that I got the formula for decrypting messages...I decided to go for it. This will decrypt Yahoo Messenger archived messages. I do not assume any risk for misuse of this program!!!!
Visual Studio 2003
Desktop Calendar Download
I wrote this program as a challenge to myself to see if I could do it. I still use this program today..though, it does have some bugs in it.
Visual Studio 2005
Deal or No Deal Download
Loved the gameshow...got bored one day...played around with some basic drawing. That's it. :)
Digital Camera Photo Renamer Download
We have waaaay too many digital pictures...but we don't want a photo suite to keep track of them. This will rename JPG pictures taken from digital cameras to the date and time they were taken. This project relies on the freely open-sourced ExifReader project.
