 » DScaler TV Viewer 4.1
download web site opinions problem?
  The DScaler project is an ongoing attempt to get the best video quality possible from a Windows PC. DScaler is an application that does scaling/deinterlacing/inverse telecine using a high powered PC and a bt8x8 TV capture card. Essentially, this software converts a PC into a good-quality line doubler/scaler/upconverter machine. It grabs analog, interlaced video, and deinterlaces it to make it a progressive scan feed then allows scaling to any resolution for use on your computer monitor or projector. Analog, interlaced video is what devices like VCRs, laserdisc, and game consoles output. Unlike most existing software for use with TV cards, DScaler implements sophisticated deinterlacing algorithms. Using such algorithms makes sure that each kind of video source is handled a different way. It provides the user with a level of image quality unknown to PC owners until now.

download web site opinions problem?
  DTVRecord is a small, simple and easy to use Frontend for use with DScaler for timed recording of Television programming on your PC. DScaler is hands down THE best software to use for watching cable on your PC. Problem is, you can't do timed recordings (time shifting) with it. That's why I made DTVRecord. DTVRecord is a single exe, you can put it anywhere, no other files are written to your hard drive. Only one entry, the path to DScaler, is made to the system registry.

 » NetRadio 1.0
download web site opinions problem?
  NetRadio is ultra small and simple and it brings Internet radio to your desktop similar to the radio player gadget that Vista provides. It doesn't require installing, making it hassle free, you can edit/add your own radio stations easily (read the readme) so you're not stuck with my choices. It can be minimised to the System Tray to clear the desktop taskbar if you like it clean, and it obviously remembers what station you last had, what volume you had it on and where on the desktop it was, so you can make a shortcut and put it in your Startup for a very simple net radio solution.

 » Perro Ministeck Creator 1.1+
download web site opinions problem?
  Ministeck is a kind of puzzle, originating from Germany, where images are (re)created by laying out blocks in a mosaic-like pattern. These blocks (squares, rectangles and corners) are made of plastic, and are laid out on specially designed surfaces. Perro Ministeck Creator is a program which you can use to create Ministeck puzzles from your own photos or images. The program creates an example with colored shapes. These shapes show how you can lay out actual Ministeck blocks to make your image appear. The size of the Ministeck puzzle can be configured as well as the colors that must be used. Ministeck blocks are made with thirty different colors, but you might only have some of them in your home and only want to use these to create your image. The program can take this into account by only using the selected colors. Ministeck puzzles that are created, can be printed, just like the required number of blocks with each color.
If you want to buy Ministeck blocks try this Google search.

 » Satellite Antenna Alignment 2.9+
download web site opinions problem?
  The program "Satellite Antenna Alignment" is used to calculate the angles necessary for installing satellite dishes. The main difference from similar software is the ability to calculate the position for all satellites at once. Thus, you get a clear picture about what satellites can be physically visible from the location where the dish will be installed. The program makes a purely theoretical calculation according to formulas, in real circumstances additional factors may include various obstacles (buildings, trees), the landscape, the altitude, transponder orientation, polarization, etc. Calculations can be saved to a text file, copied to the clipboard or printed. It is possible to save the list of locations for future reference. Note: this program is free of charge for private, non-commercial use ONLY. A reasonably priced version is available for commercial use.

 » Tim's Rudimentary Treadle Reducer Online
download web site opinions problem?
  Tim's Rudimentary Treadle Reducer is a web front-end to a program for taking a weaver's tie-up draft and attempting to find a tie-up for producing the same pattern using a loom with fewer treadles (a skeleton tie-up). The original tie-up is assumed to require only one treadle to be depressed at a time; the reduced tie-up may require 2 treadles to be pressed at once. For instance, you might use it to reduce a 22-treadle tie-up for use on a 12-treadle loom. Site pages include: A quick picture of what you can do with the Treadle Reducer. The output of a typical calculation. Limitations of the software and its author. A tutorial example. Technical discussion of the algorithms used, with links to the source code, which is freely available under the GPL. You can also go straight to the input page to enter your parameters.

 » WinHeist 1.0+
download web site opinions problem?
  WinHeist was developed by a hobbyist for other hobbyists with a desire to organize their electronic components. Designed to be simple and intuitive to use with the ability to quickly enter basic information but provide more advanced features for those requiring the extra functionality. With minimal effort you can also track orders and create material lists that automatically update your inventory. This simple to use application is customizable and has an intuitive user interface that is designed with the electronic hobbyist in mind. The main goal that I've tried to follow during the design and programming phases is to keep it as simple as possible but allow more functionality to those that require it. If you have anything you would like me to add to the application please leave a message on my website.
