Text Editor Anywhere 2: Edit Text Anywhere with Your Favorite Editor (freeware)DC member Channing writes to tell us about a newly released piece of software: I'm glad to share Text Editor Anywhere 2 with you. It used to be a built-in feature of Listary, and now is a standalone freeware app. I rewrote it from scratch and added a bunch of useful new features. Text Editor Anywhere allows you to edit text anywhere with your favorite text editor (and with a specified file extension). It provides a means of taking advantages of some advanced features (like auto-completing, spell checking and syntax highlighting) that are only available in an external text editor. It may also save you from webpage time-out or browser crashes.

DONE: App that keeps track of money you find Original request from the Coding Snacks forum:
Very often I am finding money; usually coins or small bills that have been lost or dropped. Am wanting an app that would keep track of this over time, break-down amounts by currency found and type (coins, bills, some of both) (example: 13 nickels, two $1 bills) and total dollar amount found (examples: today $2.25, 2009 $31.47) and could compare or graph this information. Would also like an option to enter the location of where it was found, have the app keep track of recurring locations (mall parking lot, city park, etc...) and list or graph totals over time by location. Was thinking this would almost be a great smart-phone app, but whatever platform would be cool! Thanks! |

Coding Snack: sWavPlayer - Wave file player without any gui DC member highend01 requests: I'm desperately looking for a simple .wav player that doesn't have any gui at all. It should have the following features: - Can be invoked via a e.g. dos prompt (e.g. wavplayer.exe <file> [option]) option = /exit (quit the player after playing the file) - Works under x86 _and_ x64 systems (WinXP - Win7) - Portable, configuration files should not be needed I've used microwav before I switched to Win 7 x64 which worked fine under any x86 environment but fails under x64. Click here to read more and download sWavPlayer, a program written to satisfy the request |

BoingBoing Update on Bitcoin AlternativesI have to say this Bitcoin thing makes no sense to me -- but then neither does any of economic theory. Today boingboing has a nice couple of links to an alternative proposal that uses some of the same ideas as bitcoin, and a link to a crazy true story of how a virtual currency in Brazil solved a huge country-wide financial crisis in Brazil by tricking people into thinking their currency had magically become stable. Am I the only person who gets the feeling that the entire world economy is one big confidence game sham? http://boingboing.ne...entralized-cash.html |

Your favorite or most useful Firefox extensions: Lazarus DC member cyberdiva writes on our "Favorite Firefox Extensions" thread: Far and away my favorite Firefox extension is Lazarus.  I can't tell you how often I've been typing something (a blog, a request for tech support, a forum message, email, etc.) when suddenly I lose my connection, or I submit the message and it disappears into thin air. Thanks to Lazarus, I no longer worry, at least not if I'm in Firefox: I simply click on the tiny Lazarus icon at the bottom of my Firefox screen, find whatever I was writing safely stored in its entirety, and retrieve it. Lazarus stores all entries for an adjustable amount of time, so I can go back and find something I typed a couple of days ago or even last week. Lazarus has saved my bacon many times; I've been so grateful that I've donated money to the developer as a way to thank him for this terrific free add-on. I should note that Lazarus is now also available in a beta version for the Chrome browser. |
