NANY 2009 PROGRESS REPORT - The Volunteer Voice

<< < (3/3)

Perry Mowbray:
The NANY Challenge is DonationCoder's annual Software Challenge where coders of all experience levels are challenged to pledge a New Application for the New Year and release it on January 1, 2009.

It's getting down to the business end of the 2009 Challenge with our coders busily polishing their entries and making things ready for the approaching release deadline on January 1st 2009. There has been a lot activity on the NANY 2009 Forum with 26 of our 37 Pledgers posting either Teasers or Releases already! It's a great place to get a sneak preview of the upcoming applications, offer functionality suggestions and even help by beta testing the pre-releases.

The Pledge Deadline has already been extended once, but we're still getting enquiries from coders wanting to Pledge their commitment to this year's Challenge. It's not easy turning people away from one of life's harmless and fun challenges: so we generally don't. If you've been wanting to join the fun but can not come up with an idea, why not check out the Communal Idea Thread, where members have offered some ideas they'd like to see entered. DonationCoder also has an active Programming School that has a wealth of ideas and opportunities that could be developed into a NANY Challenge entry. For more information about the DonationCoder Programming School see these Instructions.

Teaser / Entry Focus
JustCloseSomeTasks
JustCloseSomeTasks is an utility to let you easily close inactive tasks (windows). It saves taskbar and desktop space by allowing you to close the stuff you've not used for a while. Tasks are automatically marked for closing when they've not been used for a certain time period (expiry time). The program will learn your behaviour and adjust this expiry time.JustCloseSomeTasks knows which programs that has not used and helps manage the taskbar by closing these on mass. The application is portable.

LifeSaver
LifeSaver, on the surface, is Yet Another Diary/Journal Application, but with the very important feature of storing the data in an open format. A fundamental problem with nearly all Diary software is that the data is locked into a proprietary datastore and format. This is absolutely antithetical to the purpose of a diary: long-term tracking of thoughts. At some point in the future, our current applications and the format in which they store the data will be obsolete; it's imperative that something like this be easily extractable, in a way that can be imported into future systems. LifeSaver features: Entries formatted in rich text (HTML to facilitate export),Password-protected datastore, Multiple entries allowed per day, Browse next/previous entry, Export to XML. Tagging, Full Text Search and attached images are planned features.

HexCards
HexCards is an addictive card game in which two players strategically place hexagonal cards on a playing field to capture the other's cards. Each of the six sides of each card is assigned a numeric value ranging from 1 to 10. When you place a card on the playing field, you can capture cards in adjacent tiles if the value for that specific side is larger than the value on the adjacent card's side. Watch the video tutorial for a demonstration with instructions for more information.

Perry Mowbray:
The NANY Challenge for 2009 has just over a week to run until the official release! The NANY Challenge is DonationCoder's annual Software Challenge where coders of all experience levels are challenged to pledge a New Application for the New Year and release it on January 1, 2009. This is not a contest where the entries are judged to see who has written the best programme, but a fun celebration to create something new: all entrants who honour their pledge "win" a NANY 2009 Mug.

Entrants post Teasers, Pre-Releases and their final Release on the NANY 2009 Forum, and currently 28 of our 38 Pledgers have either posted a Teaser or Release already! It's a great place to get a sneak preview of the upcomming applications, offer functionality suggestions and even help by beta testing the pre-releases.

The Pledge Deadline has already been extended once, but we're still getting enquiries from coders wanting to Pledge their commitment to this year's Challenge. If you know a programmer who you think would get a kick out of participating in this fun event, please let them know!

Teaser / Entry FocusLacuna Launcher
Have you ever wished you had more control over the way applications are launched? Maybe setting a delay for launching applications at start-up? How about spacing out the launching with a pause in between each one? Or control the order in which applications are opened? Or perhaps you just want to launch many applications with a single shortcut? Lacuna Launcher will allow you to set a group of files to be opened with a single shortcut by creating a text file with the paths to all the files you wish to open. You can include applications (.exe), shortcuts (.lnk), internet shortcuts (.url), images, music, movies, anything that is a file on your system that you wish to open. You can also set an initial delay time that it will wait before opening files, as well as a pause time that it will wait between files it launches.


CrazyLittleFingers
Bub's are curious, bub's like to imitate.  You're always amazed at the way bub copies the things that you do, and laugh when you see her with one hand one the keyboard and one on the mouse like a true fps'er, but at the same time getting quickly frustrated because 'nothing' is happening.  And then she hits the magic combination to hack into the FBI, delete some important files and shutdown your computer. The solution is CrazyLittleFingers.  The aim of CrazyLittleFingers is simple, lock out all the keys on the keyboard, except for one that lets you exit the program, and remap each key to provide a reward for bubs exploration. For example, pressing 1 on the keyboard, might get the program to display a 1 and say 'one', pressing g might change the background to the colour green and display a picture of a goose (or a green goose).

The NANY Challenge for 2009 has just a couple of days to run until the official release! The NANY Challenge is DonationCoder's annual Software Challenge where coders of all experience levels are challenged to pledge a New Application for the New Year and release it on January 1, 2009. This is not a contest where the entries are judged to see who has written the best programme, but a fun celebration to create something new: all entrants "win" a NANY 2009 Mug for their efforts.

The Entries are posted on the NANY 2009 Forum, and currently there are 21 Pre-Releases posted from the 39 Pledges (and there are 12 Teasers just waiting to be released)! It's a great place to get a sneak preview of the upcoming applications, offer functionality suggestions and even help by beta testing the pre-releases.

The Pledge Deadline has already been extended, but we're still getting some last minute Pledges to this year's Challenge. If you know a programmer who you think would get a kick out of participating in this fun event, please let them know!

With MGTD you can easily generate an HTML document containing information about selected Oracle tables and constraints for a selected user. Every table is described including a list of columns it contains, data type and size, nullable information and the comment, and a list of all the constraints ( Primary keys, Checks, Foreign keys and Unique keys).

The application is written in Java.

f0dder's Notepad++ Plugins

PESplash
PESplash embeds text into Windows executable files using interchangeable assembly opcodes, it does so by finding valid opcode strings and replaces them with "like-minded" opcodes therefore not changing the size or operability of the file. PESplash has a number of uses, for example for tracking who is downloading your files (if released in the wild), sending messages, etc. NOTE: PESplash can NOT be used on a compressed or "packed" file: doing so will render the file useless.

DropCommand
DropCommand enables drag and drop of files to a command window in Vista (The Drag and Drop functionality for command windows that was present in previous versions was dropped in Vista).

I don't want to be homeless
I don't want to be homeless is a simple website that helps encourage you to spend less money, and helps you track how little you spent. It will track how much money is spent every day (not the details at this point), on non-essential items. When you eat out for lunch, or buy things that you don't need, etc. Other features that will be added: Goal-setting and targets, savings goals etc. For fun, some social features like a user-ranking can be added.

SQLite Scrub
SQLite Scrub erases sensitive information from FireFox3 form, cookies and history and any other applications that use a SQLite database for storage. Firefox lets you fine-tune which passwords you want it to remember, but this flexibility does not extend to other historical data it stores, such as form history. If you choose to let Firefox remember the forms you fill out, it will remember them all, even those on secure (https) websites. For example, if you've ever entered your bank account or credit card numbers on a form, Firefox remembers them. This may or may not be a concern, but I am paranoid about a rogue extension that could access Firefox's form data and deliver it to its maker.

SQLite Scrub will run at Windows startup and perform the cleanup, or it can be run manually.
