| Description | We all do it: find a dime on the sidewalk, or a quarter in the floorboard of our vehicle. Lots of people pick these up as "found money". Superstitious people sometimes make sure the coin is heads-up first, though  And many people empty their pockets at the end of the work-day, and save their pocket change. I myself have a separate coffee mug for each coin type: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters. Naturally, each mug is a DC mug...I've been doing this for a long time. Several times over the years I've emptied a big jar of coins and cashed out $200 to $350 at my local bank. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a program, preferably FREE, that tracked this "found money" (or the money your kid sticks in his or her piggy-bank)? Well, thankfully, DC member caddo requested just such an app and, intrigued, I created it. I give you "Found Money"! For anyone wanting background on this app, you may refer to this link. |

| Description | I realize that there are relatively few Christianity adherents here. Nevertheless, for those of us who are, I believe that this program offers something valuable. I began thinking about writing this application several weeks ago, after a series of conversations with my pastor in which we discussed how it's often difficult to concentrate while trying to pray. We've also discussed the need for a tool that acts as a prayer reminder, and one that can track written prayers and offer search functionality. Finally, we wanted a tool that allows the user to come back at a later time to a prayer and offer thoughts/insights into prayer-answers, or meditations on the prayer itself. This tool will also, in future updates, allow the user to customize prompts and prompt-frequencies for various types of prayer (praise, intercession, supplication, etc.) The program could also be used to store diary/journal entries, although that isn't its intended purpose. | ||||||||||

| Fun Twist On A Classic Game! | My program, Kyrathaba's Hangman, allows you to register a user-name. If you do, the High Score on your particular installation of the application will always be sent to the online database. For the Highest Scoring DC member, as found here, I will donate up to 25 hours of programming for FREE on a small to mid-size project of your choice!! I reserve the right to determine what is within my skills, however. The top-three high-scoring DC members will receive an additional prize from the site. I reserve the right to throw out a score that has obviously been obtained through some hack: being intimately conversant with the program's level of difficulty, I have a keen idea what's humanly possible. On the last day of each month between now and the culmination of the NANY 2012 event, I will donate $5 DonationCredits to the highest scorer showing on the scoreboard, provided that the scorer is a DC member. Visitors who may be reading this: join now! The first disbursement will be on July 31st, the final one December 31st. That's an opportunity for someone to win up to $30, not to mention bragging rights! |

| Description | This was a project I did for the Boss Assignment of C# Programming School, Phase I. I liked it so much that I continued to develop it, eventually bringing in cranioscopical for some expert testing. I owe him a debt for the many bugs he made me aware of; and to mouser I say "thank you" for encouraging me not to give up in learning enough PHP to build the online scripts and database to implement my desired features-set. Destined to replace time wasted by people watching "Wheel Of Fortune"! -- PC Magazine. What! This program is FREE!?? A crime, that's what it is! Someone slap the developer around until he starts showing some sense and charging for this gem of genius! -- Gamasutra |
| Features | + choose between an Individual Word or a Phrase, and try to solve before you are hanged! + optional audio cues + option to register a user-name with online database, so that you can submit your High Score and compete against all other players! + option to use mouse or keyboard for input + Highest Scorer, as recorded on the online database will receive free coding of a small-to-medium sized project of his/her choice! + ToolTips and context-sensitive help for each control in the application's interface I would appreciate suggestions for future features of the program. Please consider donating. |

"Its function is to encrypt/decrypt individual files or entire directories of files using 168-bit TripleDES encryption. It offers an optional virtual keyboard for entering passwords with the mouse or touchpad, so that the actual computer keyboard doesn't have to be utilized for this purpose, thereby negating the threat of keyloggers."
