I've been working on another project. :) This time, it is a program that allows you to record the time spent on a project (for example, a web project) and automatically generate an invoice when you've recorded all the time spent on it. I've called it Time Sheet.
I'd appreciate any feedback on the program, the idea, or the website (a link is provided at the bottom of this post). Also, I'd love to know if you would personally use it.
Edit: I've now released Time Sheet Alpha 3. I've kept the changelog for Alpha 2 below for reference.
Alpha 3:
# Added the ability to restore the list of jobs from a backup
# Added a To Do list
# Added all toolbar items from the main window to the popup menu on the tray icon
Alpha 2:
# Changed border style of main window to single and removed maximize box.
# Added a tray icon and the ability to minimize to the tray
# Fixed: The timer would continue when stopped, if not paused first
# Fixed: Time output would be incorrect after 59 minutes and 59 seconds
# Added a method for backing up the list of jobs and tasks
# Currency values are now rounded to 2 decimal places regardless of whether the digits are zeros
# Added the ability to edit the description and hours worked for tasks
# When allocating time to a job, you are now asked whether you want your timer to be cleared or not
Also, I've added a survey to the Time Sheet website, with a few questions about the program and website. If you could take the time to complete this survey, I would greatly appreciate it. :)
Known Issues: While testing it, I've noticed that the timer display starts acting strange after 1 hour. I'm working on fixing this for the Alpha 2 release. - fixed in Alpha 2
Hello,
Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor.
Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone. The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router. The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply).
I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.
When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose.
JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities. I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth).
Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too.
Regards,
Aryeh Goretsky
I still use HexChat!
Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it.
Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛
At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994.
This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP.
I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
