Beautiful Stylish Flash Adventure Game

Screenshot - 5_10_2007 , 9_02_26 PM_thumb.png
Over at jayisgames.com, one of the bloggers (dancemonkey) writes about Automaton, which is a beautiful flash game which has a distinctive (steampunk) style and an engaging storyline.  [if you are a robot lover you might find the story touching].

I've just started playing it but i found the story immediately compelling.

BackupBuilder: Free backup and restore tool you add to your programs

screenshot2.jpg
This could be extremely useful to add backup features to your programs to help make sure users dont lose their data files in your program.  I'm really interested to hear if anyone tries adding it to their software.

BackupBuilder is a free backup and restore tool for software developers.

You can call it from your applications or from the command line in order to give your customers the possibility to save and restore their files.

BackupBuilder is script driven and multilingual. It has a lot of configuration switches so you can set it up the way you need it. You can define different backup tasks and you can use several path, date and time constants in the scripts.

BackupBuilder is free of charge, even for commercial use!
