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 scenario originally began in hopes that it could be entered into the RoN Heaven "Napoleonic Era Scenario Design Contest" of Feb. 2004. I spent many days just setting up the scenario based on historical records and maps. Everything was as historically accurate as is possible in RoN.

This scenario originally began in hopes that it could be entered into the RoN Heaven "Napoleonic Era Scenario Design Contest" of Feb. 2004. I spent many days just setting up the scenario based on historical records and maps. Everything was as historically accurate as is possible in RoN. But then I realized that the AI could not handle the scenario nearly effective enough, and I didn't have enough time left in the contest to do my own AI script.

I decided to finish up the scenario for multiplayer. I spent another few days working on the script and order of battle. Then, when the scenario was finally looking complete, I went to test it in multiplayer. But to my dismay, many of the script features that made the singleplayer experience unique didn't work at all in multiplayer. Totally pissed off, I gave up.

I shouldn't have given up, though, because the scenario is still excellent. The version presented here is a revival of the scenario with a reworked script so that maybe a few people can see what could have been.

After you've extracted the script to your scenario directory, you'll notice that there are two scenario files. Austerlitz is the original scenario with the full script and AusterlitzMP is a multiplayer version with all the defunct scripting disabled.

The singleplayer version has no AI. It is basically a sandbox for you to try out the scenario's features. However, you can play against yourself if you like. To switch sides, just click a unit or building controlled by the opposite player.

The multiplayer version will allow you to play against one person (or the AI, but I wouldn't recommend it). The host will be French (Napoleon) and the other player will be Russian (Allies).

See the Readme for more specific details on the features.

This is an app I made to address the inability of the Logitech drivers and software to change mouse button settings according to the app that has the focus. As an alternative, you may want to use the Logigamer software. My app only works with the MX510, MX500, MX700, and MX310 right now, but it has the possibility of working with any of the (older) Mouseware mice. (If you have a newer, SetPoint mouse, try uberOptions.) While my app doesn't allow some of the more advanced features like Logigamer, it does have an edge with a different method of notifying the Logitech mouse software drivers of scheme changes (it uses a message system instead of the more common restarting of EM_EXEC). This makes it a little more responsive. I also think my user-interface and scheme settings are easier to use.

The software is split into a monitoring app that sits in the systray and a settings app. The settings app can add programs by browsing or selecting open programs. All the functions of the Mouseware are available to set to buttons, including keystrokes. You can also select to add a program to the games compatibility list for the Logitech software. The monitor app uses about 2-3MB of memory standard, but can be minimized down to 1MB on low system memory. Crashes on startup have been fixed.

changes in 0.7:
-added basic support for the following mice: MX500, MX700, MX310. i have no idea whether or not these mice work, but if they follow the same routines as the MX510, it is probable they will.
-fixed em_exec crashes on startup :D
-fixed em_exec crashes when deleting schemes
-clicking on a scheme in the list will load it as the current scheme (is probably only of use with the monitor app paused)
-updated links in about dialog
-about and debug dialogs appear in the taskbar
-tooltip for the games compat checkbox
-left and right arrows move the pollrate slider by 1 now for anal people like me

It's a spell for mages that want to moonlight as a thief. However, the purse only holds the gold from the NPC, not keys or other useful pickpocketable items.

The purse will disappear when you take the gold from it. If the target sees you cast the spell on them, it will be reported as a crime. Guards won't like it if they see you casting the spell either.

Raptor is a program that I had to write for my Object-Oriented Programming class. It was difficult because we had to write it on a Linux server over telnet. It was supposedly a group project, but (and I'm not trying to have too great an ego here) I knew my skills and ambition would exceed that of most of my classmates. Besides, the majority of them were too busy playing World of Warcraft to write a week's worth of code. As the due date grew near and the slacker groups began to scramble to get some code done, I heard that they found my nearly finished program and were floored by my use of colors and grids (courtesy of the ncurses lib) and the fact that it actually worked. At the due date, my program was the only one completed.

The program is meant to simulate five prey and five raptors moving around a 20x20 grid. The raptors are obviously trying to eat the prey, but if they don't feed before 20 turns are up, then they will starve. The prey can see raptors in a 10x10 square around them; raptors can see infinitely horizontally, vertically, and diagonally (like a queen in chess). They all get to move in groups by one square per turn. All the prey on a square are eaten if a raptor lands on that square.

The AI is very simple. Still, for the simplicity of the rules, they do rather well. Thus, the prey will almost always get eaten in the corners. I only had time to make the prey move from multiple raptors, but they can still get sandwiched between two raptors or a raptor and a wall (I was still working on the math to avoid that). Raptors will move to the closest prey that they see and will continue in the direction they last saw a prey if it moves out of sight (unless they see another prey).

Since this program is just a skills demo and not a lot of people have a Linux machine just lying around, I provided a demo video done in DivX VBR. But the source and compiled program are also available. It needs all the standard C libraries as well as ncurses. The program has two debug command line arguments. Use /d to display prey coordinates on the info line. Use /d and /r to do the same thing but for raptors.
