Newsletter for May 5th, 2011 - "Calming Breeze"

1. Newsletter Editorial

Warmer weather and tornadoes seem to signal the beginning of summer in the Midwest, and it's time for another DC newsletter.  Since we last spoke the fundraiser wrapped up, with a whopping $14,239 donated by over 600 individual donors -- a huge success and enough to cover our hosting and administrative fees for the next two years.  Hooray! A giant thank you to everyone who donated, and cheered us on during the fundraiser and especially to those coders and writers on the forum who helped us make the fundraiser month something special.  And if you somehow missed the fundraiser don't forget that we accept donations year round.

Things have been understandably a little less raucous for the last month following the fundraiser -- so this will be a short newsletter.  And it woud be a great time for some of you first posters to introduce yourself on the forum or ask a question:

One of the prizes awarded during the fundraiser was some allocated programming hours by me on a project of the winner's choosing.  DC member Cranioscopical won and requested that I finally add image capture support to my clipboard tool (Clipboard Help+Spell).  I must admit I have been having fun adding the feature, and you'll find a new BETA release of CHS available for download with image capturing support working quite well.  You'll also find a link below to the new evolution of my Flipbook Printer program, called Flipbook Printer Suite 2.0 -- with full support for recording video in addition to printing flipbooks.
