This app allows you to select two or more of your RoN mods and merge them together. This only works with mods that are qualified to be selected in the RoN Mods option in game setups (i.e. they have a subdirectory in .\mods and an info.xml file in that). At this time, whether or not the merge works correctly is still hit or miss. Also, it only works with RoN:TP for the time being.

It features...
-Merging of two or more qualified mods.
-Merged mod is also qualified and selectable in the RoN game setup.
-Outputs a log file for every merge that shows errors and comparison inequalities.
-Easy-to-use GUI.

This one started out as another VB6 app, but after completing 25%, I converted it to VB.NET. From what I remember, I switched cause I wanted to optimize my string reading speed. Eventually, I had just continued to work out the program in .NET. So, you could say this is my learning app, but it's still quite functional. This is the first time I've used regular expressions, buffered reads, XP-themed controls, and threads, as well.

What this app does is reads local HTML (or HTML-encapsulating) files according to their file extensions and searches through them using regular expressions to find instances of fonts. It will find HTML, CSS, and script coded fonts. When it finds a font, it adds it to three different displays. The first is a list of all the fonts, their font filenames (if found), and the number of instances of that font found. The second is a tree list of fonts and the pages that use them. The third is a tree list of pages and the fonts that they use. These all have context menus with special functions like opening files and previewing fonts. You can also tweak some options like the regular expressions to use, but they've been tested extensively and should work well. The program will find an estimated 99% of the fonts and will match a non-font about 1 in 15,000 font matches (with default settings and dependent on the scope and type of files searched).

This app is mostly done, but I may add some more options or make a variation of it in the future. It requires the .NET Framework v1.1 or later, of course.

This is a very simple app that I coded in one day because I was tired of trying to remember all the connection data rates and doing 6 steps in a calculator to figure out how long it would take to transfer some data. You can select from predefined data rates in the list or select "Custom" to enter your own. Then you enter the amount of data you want to transfer. Remember that a uppercase B means bytes and a lowercase b means bits. The calculator updates the time it will take to transfer in real-time. You can also change the unit of time displayed and copy all of this to the clipboard. It'll look like this: 11KB at 53Kb/s (56K Modem) will take 1.66 Seconds

What the beta testers thought:
"woah. impressive list. good job, person" -Victoria
"wow that shit is dank" -Danky

1.1.10:
-fixed conversion from bytes to bits using 1000 instead of 1024.
-fixed data rate profiles being limited to 50 and anything above that crashing the program on start. there is no limit now.
-updated the icon to add XP transparency effects.

1.0.07:
-Initial Release

This is a quick program I made to remove log entries from this site's AXS logs, but it should also work with most other log formats. It's meant to remove a line from a text file if it matches the regular expression provided. You give it an input file and output file, and it'll complete the search and copy in a relatively short time (50mb in ~5 secs). It also can just check to see if there are any matches without the copying. I used .NET because it has good built-in regex support and file IO performance.

This program is useful for fixing out-of-sync audio in video files. It does the math to find out what framerate will bring the audio back into sync. You will still need a program like VirtualDub to fix the video file. The Readme includes a complete tutorial on how to fix audio sync issues with Media Player Classic, VirtualDubMod, and this program.

This is a program that will take a Motherboard Monitor (definitely works for 5.3.3.0) High/Low log in CSV format, parse it, and output a properly formatted CSV file with only data in individual columns and each reading on a different row, suitable for import into a spreadsheet. This program was used to support a column I did on PC air cooling, found here. Source code is included so you can modify it to suit your needs if necessary. It was made using Windows XP and JDK 1.5.

This program was the answer to all the problems my previous "found on the internet" alarm program had (see images). My alarm focuses on reliability, ease-of-use, and useful features so that the user is always alerted in the appropriate manner of their choosing and with minimal hassles. The features from the Documentation follow.

• Multiple alarms that are easy to add, change, or delete
• 9 alarm date types ensure that you'll quickly be able to set alarms to match your schedule
• Big button text on the alarm dialog helps the sleepy-eyed and visually-impaired in the mornings
• Customizable action list lets you predefined what happens when alarms go off
• Choose from 4 different action types, such as playing a sound or showing a message box
• Sound actions can play any number of sound formats (WAV, MP3, WMA, OGG, etc) courtesy of the included FMOD library
• Program interacts with system standby to either prevent it or wake the computer up when there's an active alarm
• Intelligent, threaded time monitor manages its own polling rate and process priority to keep system usage down (especially when minimized to tray)
• Many options to suit the user's needs and personal preferences

0.9.3b:
-fixed monitor standby on snooze option
-fixed max snooze
-fixed a bug where one could use the number key shortcuts to snooze when snoozing wasn't allowed due to max snooze

0.9.2b:
-fixed a bug with configuration backups backing up to the wrong directory (i.e. root)

0.9.1b:

I made this simple app as a replacement to using the blank screensaver when I'm leaving the computer (usually for the night). Instead of the monitor(s) eventually going to standby after a certain idle time, they'll go immediately when you run this program. This saves power (since I know I won't be back for awhile) and keeps the backlight glow from disturbing my sleep. When I say "simple app", I mean really simple, like 1 line of code simple. It takes a single function call to perform, but yet Microsoft couldn't be bothered to include this anywhere in Windows' interface. It actually took me more time to make the icon than to do the code.

Tip: If you put a shortcut to this program in your Start Menu somewhere, you can set the "Shortcut key" to whatever hotkey you want and use that to put the monitor(s) into standby.

1.1:
-fixed possible hanging due to other apps running being hung

Cursor Lock is a utility program that confines the mouse cursor to a selected area on the screen. This is most useful in multi-monitor setups, addressing a common oversight in some applications (mostly games) whereby they allow the mouse cursor to drift into other unwanted screens. In video games, this can also lead to minimizing the game window if the cursor has drifted into another screen and the mouse is clicked accidentally. Cursor Lock can also overcome cursor drifting problems in windowed applications and games.

Features:

• Locking only when focused--requires no special user interaction, nor does it interfere with task switching between screens
• Uses a superior method of capturing the cursor compared to other solutions (i.e. MouseTrap)
• Ability to open one program and lock another allows Cursor Lock to work well with launcher programs
• Can confine the cursor to window borders, in addition to a whole screen
• Customizable hotkeys allow for complete control of locking in any situation
• Alternate locking modes that run in the background for full user control and special circumstances
• Intuitive GUI support program for quick setup of Cursor Lock shortcuts
• Integrated help system for shortcut setup program
• Highly optimized and efficient locking program that uses practically no memory or CPU
