Useful, quirky or specialized Windows programs
It's obvious that the programmers at the Donation Coder site work best under deadline, as they've once again turned out a surprising number of useful, quirky or specialized Windows programs in the space of one month, available free for download.

Newsletter for December 21st, 2008 - Codename "Tree Ornaments"

1. Newsletter Editorial - NANY 2009 Approaches!

Well, only 10 more days until the New Year and the official release of the NANY 2009 Applications.  What is NANY 2009?  NANY stands for "New Apps for the New Year", and it's a little challenge we hold every year to encourage coders who hang out on DonationCoder.com to write and release a new program.  We have a ton of participants who have pledged to release something new and many are available to download and experiment with now.

In addition, although my normal custom is to spend holidays programming, this New Year's it looks as if I'm going to get a visit from DC members Gothi[c] (our intrepid server admin and expert coder), and his wife Della.  I'd like to warmly welcome any other DC member within driving range to come join us.  It will be a low-key, uneventful get together. I'm not generally very social, so I wouldn't re-arrange your schedule if it means missing a party where you might have a chance of talking to that girl/guy you have a crush on! However, if you are living a geeky, solitary life, why not come have dinner with us?  There is plenty of room to camp out in my house for the night.  See the post below for more info.
