My favorite Windows utilities - Part I
One essential software I use, to speed up program launching and even document opening is - Find and Run Robot aka FARR.
      It is a extremely nifty software! The customizability and SDK availability for FARR allows you to introduce additional features catering your specific need. This was one of the reasons why i chose FARR over some others.

Newsletter for December 1 - Codename "Winter Wondercode"

1. Newsletter Editorial - NANY 2009

Greetings and welcome to winter!  It sure is getting cold out there, so why not bundle up and stay indoors and catch up on the DC forum discussions?

There is one major thing I want to tell you about in this newsletter's editorial, and that is our yearly N.A.N.Y. ("New Apps for the New Year") software celebration.

The NANY 2009 event looks like it will have more participants than ever before.. Let's review the basic ground rules:

We encourage all programmers, of any skill level (many are just beginners), to write a new, small, free program to be released on or around December 31st.  You'll find that some submissions are silly, some are horrific, some are quite useful.  It's a really fun event for the coders and the non-coders alike, and there are always some interesting surprises.

As with all of our previous NANY events, this isn't a contest to see who can write the best program. It's mostly a celebration of creating something new.  So, in that spirit, we don't really award prizes, but we will be sending out a special commemorative DonationCoder.com coffee mug featuring our cute bird/duck mascot Cody to all participating programmers.  If you know a programmer who you think would get a kick out of participating, please let them know!
