Release: WhenThen

Release, Software No Comments »

Despite being in development for a long time, it hasn’t had that much work done on it. In fact, I’ve managed to 99% complete work on its big brother Timeline before I’ve gotten around to releasing it. So, here it is.

WhenThen is an application that responds to user-specified events and reacts to them. For example, you can transfer a file via FTP in another application and get WhenThen to shutdown your computer when that window finishes transferring closes. WhenThen can also react to target and elapsed times, and other things.

The main aim of WhenThen was to be very user-friendly in that it was quick to set it up to do whatever you want without having to mess about.

Take a look and download WhenThen or its (as yet unreleased) bigger brother Timeline.

Release: Mass Extract, MediaCore

Wow, erm, hello? Let me release something quickly so it looks like I was working on stuff all along.

Here are a couple of apps that I did years ago but sort of forgot about. The first one is …

Mass Extract [link]. ME automates the process of parity checking and extracting a ton of archives. Drag and drop the directories containing your files and away you go. This one is a bit rough around the edges but seems to work without any problems on the machines I tested it on. It’s also pretty intelligent, as software goes.

MediaCore [link]. Apparently I made this available but for some reason it wasn’t downloadable when I rewrote the Software section of the site. This app lets you read, watch, view, and listen. TV channels, comics, images, music, etc, are all viewable in the application as it provides a preset of available material that is freely accessible over the internet. Now this one is extremely rough around the edges. Hell, it might not even work properly. I did this years and years ago when the .NET framework first came out; the code is so different to how I write now that it would be quicker to rewrite the entire application than to update it. It’s probably not worth downloading this, but I’ve made it available anyway.
