New Software Release (11/01/05) - Piper

[mouser]

At long last, Piper, Jibz's plugin for TheBat! Email client is now available:

http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Piper/index.html

This is a tool only for advanced users of TheBat!.  From the information on that page:

"Piper is a simple plug-in for The Bat! e-mail client. It provides a macro which can be used to execute an external program, capture the output, and insert it back into The Bat!"

I'll soon be posting a demo movie showing how useful Piper can be in using tools like our own program, TheFormLetterMachine.

I'm also very happy to announce that Jibz now has his own software section on the DonationCoder.com software hub:
http://donationcoder.com/jibz

Please consider making a donation to jibz to welcome him to the site.


Allow me to express some personal thoughts.

I met Jibz over 2 years ago on irc, talking about c++ and compression.  We ended up collaborating on a fun open source project called Octane (Open Compression Toolkit: http://octane.sourceforge.net/).  Everyone who knows jibz seems to regard him with a kind of reverance.  He's one of the most soft spoken, professional people you'll meet, with an endearing perfectionist streak.

He's also one of the most generous programmer's I know, and his help in getting DonationCoder.com off the ground has been invaluable.  I'm not sure this site would have ever started if not for his encouragement and support.

Thanks, Jibz.
