Programming Projects

I enjoy writing code! Thus, to feed my desire to write code I work on different "fun" projects from time to time. Currently I'm working on two different programs. I'll update them from as I feel like it or as I discover bugs in them (I had having bugs in my code).


File Rename v.9

This program is close to complete, however, I have a few more bells and whistles I'd like to add to it. The idea of this program is to quickly rename a lot of files, Leslie asked me if I could come up with something to rename screen shots for her. A lot of digital cameras and video games that takes screen shots create files with very generic names (I.E. IMG_00123.jpg). This program can quickly solve that problem.

You can select one of the files you want to rename and the program will try and figure out the prefix you want to replace (leave blank to change all the files in the folder with the same extension). Then enter a new prefix (if you are adding to a collection of files the program will find the last number used and start there). Once all the parameters have been set hit execute and enjoy your renamed files.

Power Attack v1.1

This program is a tool I created for DnD to help calculate the maximum power attack one should use based on the armor class of an opponent. Right now the user has to enter the average damages but I hope to add a calculator in version 2. I've added a nice little help in this program so I'm not going to explain how to use it here. If you enjoy the numbers of DnD you should enjoy this program.

Ping v1.0

This program takes some of the hassel out of pinging the Raven Shield Server. There are two Java apps (in .jar files) in this zip. Ping.jar is a standard application with a GUI. If you have a domain name in your clipboard it will fill in for you. PingCMD.jar will take the domain from your clipboard and get the IP address for you and place that in your clipboard instead. If there is an error, it beeps.

Clipboard Sharer v0.85

This is a simple program for sharing a clipboard between computers on a network. In "Sender Mode" you can send clipboard content to two different computers (the sender and receiver must both have access to the same file). The "Receiver Mode" is designed to work in the back ground of a gaming machine that cannot normally find links and waypoints to add to its own clipboard.
