VocaBreak Update

Google locked their dictionary service soon after publishing my VocaBreak application lol 😉 I’ve update it to work with Google Translate instead. DOWNLOAD: Updated VocaBreak

VocaBreak

I’ve created this little tool to help myself (and hopefully others) learn French while doing breaks from computer work to avoid RSI. It’s a WorkRave replacement of sorts but I didn’t put any effort to lock you out from the PC – you really have to cooperate – it’s for […]

startwithmemlimit

At first I couldn’t believe that such tool wasn’t readily available because I’ve seen dozens of posts on different forums asking how to do this, however… I guess nobody felt urged enough to actually write a command line app for this. Well, I did 😉 startwithmemlimit is a Win32 application, […]

CRecentLocationsDialog

Recent locations dialog is an improved version of standard open/save file dialog. It features lists of 100 most recently accessed folders and files for easier navigation among commonly used resources. Double-clicking on a folder item or selecting an item from the folders list and clicking Browse button below launches a […]

Barebone Home Update

I’ve improved Barebone Home a little. The most important change is “Connectivity” menu, which allows for quick switching of APN, WiFi and Bluetooth connetions on/off and also displays stats for /sys/class/net/rmnet0 (APN connection).

It’s lightweight and practical – it let’s one filter applications […]

Long-lost Qt Goodies – QArrowCue

Have you ever wanted to indicate (in a more pronounced way than usual mouse cursor change) that a drag action is taking place? Now is your chance to do just that 🙂 Thanks to QArrowCue you can display a neat arrow for any QDrag object you have out there. I’ll […]

Long-lost Qt Goodies – QPieMenu

I bet every single coder out there has some long-forgotten pieces of code, which when rediscovered bring this “WTH. I wrote that?” kind of feeling. I happen to have a lot of such candies 😉 Today, it’s an eye-appealing one – a pie menu. Nothing too innovative, but quite useful […]
