- Hmonitor 4.2.2.2, Feeling the pulse of your machine — Last week I found a genius solution for watching and controlling my computer’s health and stability, which I would like to tell you about. Today’s hero is a small, resource-friendly, easy-to-use utility, which allows you to track all available system parameters, such as the system temperature, voltages, and cooling fans. Hmonitor does this by utilizing the motherboard’s hardware sensors, which are normally not…
- paxScript.NET .A Script Might Be Everywhere — The implementation of many software projects requires at least two different languages: an industry-level one for the project’s core, its powerful «engine», and a scripting language, which would be interpreted when the program is running. Scripting languages are typically simpler and slower than the industrial ones, but they have their own area of application. These languages are often used when the advanced users or third-party…
- Fast EBook Compiler. Book-for-Sale! — If you feel like a writer (fiction writer, technical book writer or even cookbook writer) you can not easily turn your writing into money. The fact is the «traditional» publishers are conservative and are stuck to «writing stars». Even if a paper publisher would be interested in your writings, the contract he would offer to a young unknown author would not be very liberal or even fair. But…
- Token Frenzy. Small Car in the Big City. — "OK", you thought after reading title, "just one more street racing or something like this. What the interesting they can offer me?"

Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- Country Codes 2.7, Data at Fingertips — In today’s vague times of «common» unlimited broadband Internet connection (which is not so common, really) and «modern cool» web-services it is thought that one doesn’t have to store on one’s computer information one can find on web. People with such thoughts typically don’t take into account the amount of time they waste when to find a byte of frequently-used data…
- PSpad, Code Looks Natural — Have you ever tried editing any programming code in the Windows’ standard notepad program? Wasn’t that easy and fun? I bet it was NOT. Although Notepad is light and easy to use, you can hardly recognize your even own code in it: no syntax highlighting or line numbering, and some important characters may even fail to appear. Is there a way to edit a code block without having to run those heavy development…
- HtmlCapture ActiveX Control, Web Snapshot In A Few Lines Of Code — Taking shots (images) of web-pages is an often and highly usable programming task. There are scores of possible usages, from large web-archiving suits to small one-time testing scripts; but the general purpose snapshot tools (either PrintScreen or specialized software) aren’t very good for the task.
