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.

Flock: Web2.0 and all that buzz
Flock is a webbrowser like Firefox, but it has some nifty extra features. Flock is a free web browser that makes it easier than ever to share photos, stay up-to-date with news from your favorite sites, and search the Web. It integrates nicely with flickr and photobucket, has support for many blog engines. There is more, but I have yet to discover everything. [attacht=12] |

Uninstallers (a very short look at what I've tried!) These two programs I have tried so far essentially do two different things: Your Uninstaller! Pro 2006 Allows you to uninstall exisiting programs on your system, completely. After running the uninstall component of the application, it then moves on to scan your registry and installed programs folders for loose reg keys and files. This is a fantastic application and does what it says on the tin - uninstalls completely (or, looks like it does!) Total Uninstall 3.52 Allows you to install a program and let it be monitored by TU (basically it records all the changes it makes to the system) and then uninstall it completely when you wish to. It does NOT feature, at least that I can tell, a similar function to Your Uninstaller! where you can uninstall EXISTING programs. Read the discussion about these and other uninstaller programs.. |
