It's friday and Day 25 of the Fundraiser -- we're in the home stretch!

Today DC member skwire released a Steam Url Converter, a tiny utility for people who use the Steam gaming platform:

Steam allows you to create shortcuts on your desktop to launch games.  However, these shortcuts are not standard Windows .LNK files.  They are .URL files and, sometimes, they don't show the proper icon for the intended game even if the .URL file contains the correct information.  This app tries to solve the issue by converting the .URL shortcut into a .LNK shortcut.  Simply drag the .URL file onto the SteamURLConverter.exe file and it will immediately create a .LNK file in the same folder as the .URL file.

And I released an important update to Python ProtoCards, my open source Python library to help card game designers rapidly prototype printed card designs.

Enjoy the weekend, and stay tuned for the final details of the end-of-fundraiser giant giveaway that will be posted in the next couple of days!

Day 28 of the fundraiser and it really seems like we could reach $12,000 by the time the fundraiser closes at the end of March -- that would be incredible -- and double what we were originally aiming for.

The big announcement for today is that we have posted the fundraiser giveaway entry form -- which is now open to all supporting/donating DC members.

• Enter: here.

There is an eclectic assortment of items being given away -- from the super valuable Optimus Maximum keyboard and custom programming time devoted to a project idea of your own invention, to software and unusual and rare DC memorabilia.

So for today's release I posted a large new application I've been working on for a while, FlipSuite.

FlipSuite is actually the evolution of a program I wrote quite a while ago called Flipbook Printer; the new application incorporates robust video recording functionality as well as numerous improvements and bugfixes.  Read more about it in the FlipSuite forum section.
