Find and Run Robot
I found out about your site in the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup.. 'Process Tamer' saved my butt more than once, "Url Snooper" saved me a lot of time.. But my favourite of your programs is definitely 'Find and Run Robot'.

My review is here:

I think this is a fantastic program and very useful for the current GEO experiment running. I think it is particularly relevant to those trying to implement Mark Forster's ideas with a program.

Do the Simplest Thing That Could Possibly Work

Screenshot - 10_15_2006 , 1_06_51 AM_thumb.png
This follows in the spirit of Design One to Throw Away advocates.

From the Wiki page:
So when I asked [KentBeck], "What's the simplest thing that could possibly work," I wasn't even sure. I wasn't asking, "What do you know would work?" I was asking, "What's possible? What is the simplest thing we could say in code, so that we'll be talking about something that's on the screen, instead of something that's ill-formed in our mind." I was saying, "Once we get something on the screen, we can look at it. If it needs to be more, we can make it more.

I've had a bit of a gripe with 43 folders lately, but Merlin blogged today a pointer to a wiki page that's really a useful read, advocating for the idea of building the simplest thing that could possibly work, and going from there.

Doodle - super easy web service for scheduling/polling participants

Screenshot - 10_15_2006 , 12_48_52 AM_thumb.png
Doodle helps scheduling meetings – it's simple, quick, and free.
How does it work?
1. Create a new poll with a title, description, your name, and possible dates and times.
2. You get a link to your new poll. Send this link to all participants.
3. The participants use the link to visit the poll and select suitable dates.
4. You use the same link to watch the poll's progress and the result.

Merlin at 43 folders reblogs about a web service he really likes, and it's easy to see why.  Nice clean useful idea.

Here's a lovingly done very cute and fun indie game, which is dripping with personality and fun.  Love the charm of this game.
