URL Snooper Opinions on FileForumWhat cant I say thats good about this program? I mean, it does everything its designed to do and it does it well. Very seldom does a program of this caliber cross the internet. If you are sick of having to hunt down a url to a media file, use this, it will save you loads of time.

The 2013 Game Developer Gender Wage GapI’m reading through the latest digital edition of Game Developer Magazine which contains their annual survey. The salary numbers overall weren’t concerning to me, until I scrolled down and saw the differences between the male and female survey respondents. The next time someone tells me that men and women get paid equally for their talents in the game industry, I wanted something to link to them. This is just plain disgusting. http://borderhouseblog.com/?p=10567 |

Google NoseI have no idea how the hell they managed it, but it works like a charm. Been sitting here enjoying the smell of an open fire, for the past 45 minutes. Perfect. http://www.google.co...ding/nose/index.html |

Newsletter for Mar 26, 2013 - Codename: Major Updates1. Newsletter Editorial
Greetings readers, and welcome to another edition of the DonationCoder newsletter. March is typically the month we hold our annual fundraiser -- so normally in this newsletter I would be asking you to visit the site and make a donation to support us. However, while the site has been busy in the last year -- with our regular big NANY (New Apps for the New Year) programming event held in January, and a major new release of one of our more popular applications (more about that in a minute) -- it just didn't feel right asking for your support while we haven't made more progress on the long planned upgrade of the website. Let's hope we have a reason to celebrate that next year. But I do have something I want to ask for your help with. The sending of this newsletter coincides with a major new release, version 4, of my program, Screenshot Captor, and the new release is filled with tons of new features. If you haven't tried it yet, now would be a perfect time to do so (big thank yous to DC member Carroll D. (hamradio) for creating a ton of beautiful new icons for the program, and app103, for creating a bunch of great new clipart which is included with the program). Screenshot Captor has consistently been one of the more popular and well-reviewed programs on the website. It's also the program that I most frequently receive commercial-site-license inquiries about. The policy here at DonationCoder has always been that our software is free for personal use (and free for individuals using for work), but that we ask larger companies to purchase commercial site licenses. And while we've sold commercial site licenses is the past, we've never done a good job of explaining our commercial site licensing policies or had a dedicated page explaining them. That is now changing. I've created a dedicated commercial site license landing page complete with prices for high-volume site licenses, and a description of the benefits of choosing DonationCoder software for commercial business use. I'm requesting your help in spreading the word about our new commercial site-licenses. If you know a medium or large organization that you think would be interested in purchasing a commercial site-license for any of our software programs, or might be interested in hiring us for custom development, please point them to our commercial site license page. In addition to the major Screenshot Captor update, I've also released a new major version of my Multi Photo Quotes screensaver, which is now capable of extracting and displaying random frames and subtitles from video files (perfect for movie buffs or home videographers), a medium sized update to my popular URL Snooper application, and minor update to my Desktop Coral and Easy Screencast Recorder tools. Details below. 2. Official DonationCoder News and Updates Summarizing the major official updates on the site:

What *Should* We Be Worried About?Need a few more things to ponder? Every year, the online magazine Edge asks top scientists, technologists, writers, and academics to answer a single question. This year, that question was "What Should We Be Worried About?", and the idea was to identify new problems arising in science, tech, and culture that haven't yet been widely recognized. And it's a very long list. There are some 150 different things that worry 151 of the planet's greatest minds. The answers cover a wide variety of topics and ideas. This is the stuff keeps the smartest folks in the world awake at night. http://edge.org/annual-question/q2013 |

Free Software from Microsoft.When talking to Krish and Stephen on IRC I informed them of a program Microsoft offers called WebsiteSpark
WebsiteSpark gives small Web development and design companies a jumpstart by providing free tools, technologies and resources to build great websites. It includes software such as Windows Server 2012 Standard (5 keys none the less) and Visual studio 2012 Professional and other development software. So if your an independent developer with a tight wallet or a small startup company on a budget this is perfect for you. http://www.microsoft...om/web/websitespark/ I am not an employee of Microsoft or any subsidiary |
