The DonationCoder NANY (New Apps for the New Year) 2008 challenge wrapped up with an assortment of cool little applications, many for Windows folk but some accessible to anyone with a Net connection. If you don't know about DonationCoder, it's a swell little site for programmers and other cussed eccentrics -- donation-based, platform-independent, and one of the few places on the Web you can (within limits) inquire about having someone maybe cook you up the oh-so-specific program you're needing.I like their attitude a lot, obviously, and the 2008 challenge did not disappoint. Browse through the entries at the link above, and don't miss CoinCalc, which -- given some basic info from you -- can estimate how much change you've managed to squirrel away in that jar on the bookcase. I had some fun with it; give it a try and see how it does for you. It's a nice introduction to the "donationware" sensibility, and you may just find a community of like-minded souls to boot.
