On this page, you will find some small software utilities I have written. They all require the Microsoft .NET Framwork 2.0, which you can download from here.

 

All the programs here are completely free for you to use, however if you do find any of them particularly handy, and would like to show your gratitude, then you can donate any amount via Paypal using the button below.

Auto Thumbnailer

 
Auto Thumbnailer (thumbs.exe) is a simple program to enable quick batch resizing of many images for use on websites or to email to people. You simply select the images you wish to resize, decide on the thumbnail size and the filename suffix to be added, and start it off. Each selected image will then have a new small version with the suffix you chose (i.e. IMG0001.jpg will have a new friend of IMG0001_small.jpg). This program requiers the Microsoft .NET Runtime.

Batch gallery download
The first version of Image Downloader is now available. Give the program a URL and it will search the page for any images and download them. You can also ask it to search one set of sub-links below the page you are looking at. For pages that require a login (like this one) you can paste the image source into the program instead and download based on that. This program also requires the Microsoft .NET Runtime.

Compass control for .NET  

This is a simple control that can be added to your .NET projects to display a compass.

Simply add the control to a form in your project, then you can set the bearing property to a value and when refreshed the needle will draw the appropriate angle. The colours are user definable, and there are built in constants for N, NE, SSW and so on. This control may be freely used in your own projects, however if you distribute an application containing this control a reference to this website in the documentation will be appreciated.

KeepAlive  

KeepAlive is a simple utility for pinging network connections on a regular basis. Handy if you have a machine that falls asleep if not accessed periodically. In addition, the colour coding gives you a quick glance at the status of remote machines (red means a problem!) and the IP Address resolved is also shown to help diagnose DNS issues. Future versions of this may include emailing when problems are noted etc. - any other thoughts, email me!
If you want something with more features, for a low cost, why not check out keep-alive 2?

Why not check out some other web site monitoring software?
