It's safe to say that mysterious and reclusive DC member Skrommel single-handedly built the Coding Snacks section of the DonationCoder forum, where people request small custom applications. Coding in the Autohotkey scripting language, Skrommel is also one of the fastest coders we've seen -- when he is on the prowl it's not uncommon for him to finish coding a request before most of us have had time to even read it. He also typically shares his source code along with the compiled utility, which makes it possible for others to extend and customize his tools.
- Number of programs available: 80+
- Last updated: 2017

DClock - Always on top, hotkey activated StopWatchThe StopWatch can be accessed from DClock's menu or you can run StopWatch.exe.
The hot-key is Ctrl-Shift-F9. It will either start it or pause/resume it. You will have to stop and reset from the buttons on the StopWatch window. I can only assign one global hotkey to a window so I felt it was best to pause instead of stop. You reset by clicking the stop and then the start button again. screenshot: You can download the latest version of DClock on my homepage here: http://www.appsapps.info/dclock2.php Direct download of standalone stopwatch program here: |

This will be a one time extension, and no submissions will be accepted after that date. The contest web page has been updated to include much more detailed prize package information: http://bcbcontest.donationcoder.com We've also clarified the rules to make clear that you may still sell any programs you submit, as long as you make the current version available as donationware for personal use.

Flocking out to get the new browser Flock is a browser based on FireFox that is tweaked to let you socialize more easily, and they've released a new beta version. Last week, I got a letter from Flock asking me to try the newest beta version. I tried it out for awhile and now you'll know what I think of it. Here are some of the services Flock uses or interfaces with ... Flickr, Photobucket, Del.icio.us, Blogger, MySpace, Live Journal, Ebay, and RSS feeds.

Cool collaborative drawing site.Check this out, some of the work here is really amazing: http://best.drawball.com/ It records the total history of the workspace, which is really wonderful to watch. And if you go to the main site: http://www.drawball.com/ then you can draw on the shared canvast yourself and your own process is recorded. Very cool concept and quite cleverly implemented. |
