justPDF, Nothing Else!

  Finally I am launching my open source and free PDF viewer. Named justPDF, it does exactly as named, just view PDF files. No longer is it necessary for you to install heavy applications with thousands of features you never use. Cut down on the bloat and use the “Simplest PDF reader on Earth”. ScreenShot : justPDF viewing a sample PDF file. @Note: I am ironing out the Ghostscript problems for a faster and lighter viewer. Download the Setup I will release the code in a day or two.

Kolibri – A 3 MB (GUI)Operating System

No I’m not drunk! Kolibri desktop is a small 3MB Operating System, that is written entirely in machine code (CPU Language) and is not based on Linux, Windows or any other variants. What is surprising is the number of applications packed into this tiny file size. There are a whole bunch of games, a basic tables editor, a compiler, a text editor, a bouquet of demos, a text based web browser and more. There is also DosBox, which let’s you run almost any DOS game on Kolibri. While not meant for serious use, the tiny OS shows how bloated Windows and Linux really are. Kolibri is a small x86 assembler hobby operating system. It forked off MenuetOS in 2004 and has mostly been developed by ex-USSR community since. API and ABI is being enreached with developer-friendly features. User interface is not that good yet but we are trying to improve it as well. Your feedback is very appreciated, although help would always be much more valuable. Current 0.7.7.0 release introduces several kernel, app

ClipClip – Handy Clipboard Manager

  A simple, efficient, user friendly clipboard manager for Windows, especially versions after XP. The handy tool – clipbrd.exe was not in the releases of Windows post XP, so I had to take to third party clipboard monitoring tools. But they were all bulky resource hogs. Each had its pros and cons but ultimately none fit the bill. So I decided to create my own.   Illustration : ClipClip 1.0.0.0 Illustration : ClipClip showing Screenshot Illustration : ClipClip showing the files to be copied, the links can be modified and saved Features include : - Text monitoring and modify Image monitoring and modify File list view and modify Audio modify and capture Clipboard clear function Refresh to refresh the contents of the Clipboard Please note that I’ve not included a hook to the clipboard. While this eliminates the chance for a dynamic monitoring and editing, it also improves security and most importantly enhances usability and makes it lightweight and independent of user

ishani Concept

    Make life simple So here it is. The most bare form of the ishani app. You might as well ask yourself, another dock app on the block. i might as well answer yes. I am not good enough for the big projects I think. I will be. He he. Anyway the application is ugly and only thing it does is show how it will be. I will be adding more features, kind of busy these days, that makes things more difficult. In any case, the preliminary work should be over in a couple of weeks. A brand new dock for your machine. Oh and I will get the Mac style including the spiral places container which is still only found on Macs. It is horrible I know, but it has got animation stuff and I will remove the window, make the icons look better, lot of work to do.

Make a Splash!

  I was sitting at home, when suddenly I got a request to write a splash form. So I wrote this. It  is fairly simple to implement. Just add a Windows Form to a new Visual Basic Project. Add a Timer Control to the Form, named ‘theTimer’ Now add two labels, one for a statement, other to show the countdown. I have named them lbl1 and tmrLabel. Go to its code of the Form and copy and paste this down. I have assumed the form name to be ‘MainFrm’. Run it and you are good to go. All with a fade in and fade out animation. Simple yet efficient. And to the friend who requested, it was a pleasure. :) '''<summary> ''' A simple Splash Screen with basic fade in and fade out animation ''' A Program by Sarthak Ganguly ''' </summary> ''' Released under GPLv3 License Public Class MainFrm    'Declaring an Enum with form status     Enum formStatus         formOpening         formShowing         formClosing     End Enum
