I have been developing in PHP and MySQL since 2004 and in 2009, began developing personal applications in Visual C# Express 2008 and SQLite. I am currently working on my fifth software project. New programs will be added here as the installers are completed for all supported operating systems. I have Windows XP Home, Vista 32bit, and Windows 7 64bit machines that each program is installed and tested on with and without Windows themes enabled.

If you have any questions, need basic support, or have a bug to report, go to the Contact page to send me an e-mail about it.

Random Wallpaper

Download Random Wallpaper (5.52MB)

Overview

Random Wallpaper is a lightweight application that runs at Windows startup, changes the Desktop Wallpaper, then closes.

Here are a few things that set this apart from other software or services that provide the same functionality:

Lightweight. The application is only 60KB.
After the image is changed, the application closes completely, ending all memory usage.
Only one style of wallpaper is supported, "Center". Images are not ever stretched or tiled.
If the image is larger than your Desktop resolution, it is resized to fit.
There is no database of images that needs to be updated. On each change, an image is selected at random from the specified directory.
All common image types are supported.

There is a very minimal interface, shown below:

Shortcuts are placed in the current user Start Menu > Programs and Current User > Startup folders.

System Requirements

.NET 3.5
Windows XP, Vista, 7
32bit and 64bit versions supported

TBAGG (TextBasedAdventureGameGenerator)

Download TBAGG (12KB)

Overview

TBAGG stands for Text Based Adventure Game Generator. If you aren't familiar with them by this name, think Choose Your Own Adventure. This is a script to run on your PHP & MySQL enabled web site, allowing you to create and host text based adventure games. Styles are easily configured and the admin page is password protected. Take a look at the demo game.

Currently, the layout and options within a game are pretty simple. Multiple choice options at the end of each story step. There is no inventory, there are no odds. These are things I'm interested in adding in the future. Things like inventory, percentage based outcomes, battles, gambling, who knows. This, however is version 1.0 and is strictly functional, no frills. You get what you pay for.
