- Power Phone Book Enterprise 1.51, All Stored Here — Power Phone Book Enterprise is the corporate edition of a usable, innovative, full-featured organizer. Despite its name, the program handles not only the phone contacts, but the modern businessman’s «full stack»: phone, mail, Internet-pager (ICQ) contacts and other personal and business-related information. This Enterprise version allows multiple users to work with the database, and even do that through the Internet. So, your important business…
- Interbase/Firebird Development Studio 5.0 — Any database specialist knows how much his work effectiveness depends on the «right» tools. Of course, you can do database design, analysis, and query development «by hand». But wouldn’t visual «designers», SQL syntax highlighting, code auto-completion, and much more of advanced stuff make you happier and let you do your work faster? Well, if you really want to be a fast and happy database…
- CellFighter Game 2.04. New Life for Game of Life — Almost 40 years ago, when computers were large working machines and the phrase «computer game» sounded absurdly, a famous British mathematician invented the so-called «Game of Life», which by no means was a game, it was rather an example of a cellular automata clear for even a child. You certainly have seen those black-and-white cells (and possibly even have written you own example in the middle school). Many…
- InterBase/Firebird Development Studio 5.1.3. Database Designer. — There is an amazing integrated suite for working with Interbase and Firebird, obviously named InterBase/Firebird Development Studio. It is really brilliant in all of its aspects and components, but I want to speak about the «first between equals» — the Database Designer component. IB/FB Development Studio’s Database Designer is a many-sided crystal. It serves as: Full-fledged visual ER diagram…
- VBto 2.30, Visual Basic No More — For its time, Visual Basic 6 was an excellent tool. It was easy to learn, write and read, had reasonably good visual forms designer, allowed easy usage of ActiveX controls… Unfortunately, those times have gone. Now, there is .Net, there is Java, there are other IDE with form designers, like Delphi. There is no place for good old VB6. Old projects are to be translated to new environments, but it is not an easy…
- SMS-it! 3.6.6, Talking To Mobiles — There are two basic symbols of today’s information and communication technologies: obviously, a computer and a mobile phone. Unfortunately, they aren’t very friendly to each other: Typically you can establish connection between your own phone and computer, but connecting from a computer to a remote phone (and vice versa) is another story. Therefore, it’s like having two parallel communication worlds: computer networks versus…
- Euphoria Programming Language, Software Development Made Easy — Do you like the modern software? I’d doubt that and don’t know anyone who does — today’s software sucks, to put it mildly; it’s crooked and works not the way it’s supposed to. If you were to re-write all the software that’s installed on your computer, you would have definitely made it a lot prettier, more natural and intuitive — simply better. Just because you know what…
- VCTEA Video to 3GPP - enliven the screen of your favorite mobile phone! — There will definitely come a day when an average mobile phone will play Blu-Ray content without a hitch, but, unfortunately, it’s not going to happen any time soon. These days, most cellphones are only capable of playing generic mobile formats — and 3GPP is main one. Video to 3GPP is the tool that will breathe new life into your phone and will allow you to watch a new episode of Sopranos wherever you are! This compact…
- Where Is My Phone? - Let the Phone Tell You — You are a lucky person if you’ve never had your phone lost or stolen. If you have gone through that at least once, you do know how much of effort it takes — if that’s at all possible — to find out where the phone is or, at least, where it might be searched for; the lost device won’t be able to shout for help or tell you where…
