FreeLogger 1.0 Released

FreeLogger is the free, open source key stroke logger.

When you first run this program, there will be a tray icon, to hide it, right click and click "Hide Icon". The program will now run silently in the background. Then when you want to view the log, just hit, alt+ctrl+shift+u, the trayicon will then show again. Now just right click the icon again, and click clear log.

Its a pretty simple program, it is not the best keylogger yet, but it will get the job done.

It logs the window title, text, time, username, and a couple of other things.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

pKiller 1.0 Released.

pKiller is just a small app to stop a process from opening, or to close many processes with the same name, and keep it closed.

I wrote this app because the other day I was testing a program I was writing, that involved launching ie. The program got stuck in a loop and launched a million copies of ie which crached my computer.

With this app, you type in the process name, and hit start. Any time it sees that process, it will kill it. When you want it to stop, just hit stop, or just close it.

This is a safe program to have around when you are programming.

tShot 1.0 Released

tShot was a program I made today while I was writing a blog.

The Problem: I needed a way to take a screenshot of a program that is only active while a key is down. The reason this is a problem is because the way you take a screenshot is with a key combination. So the key you held down for the application would stop the screenshot from triggering.

The Solution: I wrote a very quick program that acts much like a real camera, you set the timer, then pose. With this program, you set the time, then the program disappears while you "pose".

It really helped me out and I hope it will help someone else as well.

Myspace and msplinks

The other day I was on my myspace and as I was hovering over a link I just added I saw this.




What in the world is msplinks?

Well I did some research and found that it is a technique used by myspace to stop spammers.

When they find a spammer or phisher, they put a stop on the address at msplinks, and since all the links on myspace go through msplinks, anybody that clicks on that link will be redirected.

This sounds like a good thing right?

News Corp is a "Global vertically integrated media company", and is also the current owner of myspace.

To me this sounds like a perfect opportunity to get stats on the most popular websites, which might be beneficial to a news company.

Plus, I think I should be able to decide what websites I view.

Thats why I wrote this firefox plugin.

This plugin will convert all msplinks back into the original link.

Please install and spread the word.
