Yesterday I wrote a tiny little program for creating images for the Assets folder of a W8 app. How do you work with it? Type the app name into the first field – this text is written into all the images. As soon as you type, the text is drawn into the image and saved …

I had wanted to do this for a really long time, and only today did I finally get around to it. This YT Downloader has 2 special features: It can download entire playlists (other programs can do this too) Before downloading each file, it checks whether the song is already in my collection (this is …

I should probably change the name of this program by now, because it looks rather ridiculous like this, but today I worked on it again. I made the following changes: Fixed 1 bug in the similarity evaluation where, in certain cases, the method returned a number greater than 1.0 – normally it should return a …

Today I finished another program of mine, this time one very closely tied to and working together with my hosting www.sunamo.net , as the name surely suggests. The program looks something like this: The ToolStripMenuItems at the top don’t do anything yet, except for Application, which shows the Log form. The program isn’t multithreaded yet, …

So what can the program actually do? It can download scrobbles to your PC from any last.fm profile (so this part works even without a password) and then let you pick only specific artists or songs and save them or scrobble them to another account – for that, however, you will need a password, so …

Of course, the fact that I live in this Hell (a.k.a. …

For a long time I used a third-party app called ImageResizer, but it could only shrink JPEG files. And since I was getting tired of converting images to JPG and then possibly back again, I made myself a small app of my own that converts file types, primarily JPG, but it can also handle any …

Developing this program took about 10 hours spread over 2 days, and I did the bigger part of it today. Yesterday I “cut off” the older form, which looked like this: You simply picked one of the available databases from the drop-down, typed in an SQL query, and then used the keyboard shortcuts listed under …

..until now, it could only automatically upload to Picasa the photos that weren’t there yet. Today I also finished resizing for SkyDrive – all I do is move the photos into the right album in my Windows Live account folder and run this program – it resizes the images and moves them into the SkyDrive …

On Monday I started working on a small program that was supposed to download all my files from GDocs. I did not get much done on it on Monday, but by Tuesday it was finished (it was only a few lines anyway, and on top of that I built it on a ready-made sample straight …
