When I look back at the blog items I post linking to interesting developer essays and articles, many of them are originally from osnews.com. OSNews is a frequently updated blog that posts lots of small items every day. While nominally about operating systems, they really cover a much broader domain including websites and technology companies. They do an outstanding job of bringing early attention to interesting technology essays that I don't see mentioned elsewhere.

SnapSuite 2008Here is my N.A.N.Y. 08 submission, a large combination of many programs made by myself in order to simplify many daily tasks.
SnapSuite is a fully featured program with manu unique features. It has a program launcher recognizing many popular programs like Opera and Thunderbird (known as AppLaunch) It has a semi-automatic typing tool to automate long words and phrases (AutoType) It has an Instant Message/Chat Room cleaner for times when the boss/the parents come in and the content on the window is not..."suitable" (AutoType) It has a media control "center" that lets you control playback and volume levels (MediaControl) It has a full callendar, notepad (known as "MultiNote") and file downloader (MultiBar) It has a basic web browser based on the Internet Explorer engine (SmartBrowse) SnapSuite's main feature, however, is none of these. It has a complete, automatic, and extremely simple to use computer maintenance solution. This part of the program, known as SystemCare, allows you to do 4 stages of file system cleaning, registry cleaning, system optimization, file system defragmentation, registry defragmentation, malware scans, Windows/Office updates, Apple Software updates, and updates to other programs (most of this is powered by 3rd party, freeware programs - these are tested extensively and used on all computers in my home for maximum peace-of-mind and usability). If you don't have something that SystemCare needs to help you keep your system in tip-top shape, it will automatically download AND install it for you! SystemCare also includes 2 schedulable programs for quick, automatic system maintenance while you are sleeping or otherwise away from the computer. |
