14 Nov 2007 Released Timekeeper for 64-bit Windows.

27 Oct 2007 Released Timekeeper 1.31. Added the Adjust Date/Time command so that you can remove the Windows clock from the task bar and still be only one right-click away from setting Windows date/time. You can no longer set the date/time format to blank. It works-around a Windows bug that displayed the Standard time zone name instead of Daylight Saving time zone name when it was appropriate. Timekeeper's been translated into German, courtesy of a helpful customer.

27 Oct 2007 Released Rename Regular Expression 1.02. Fixed issue with some programs using the same menu ID as RenameRegEx so its menu command wouldn't appear on the context menu.

19 Aug 2007 Released Alarm++ 7.10. Added the ability for Alarm++ to speak when an event goes off. You can enter any text you want, including special variables that represent information about the event (alarm name, message, etc.). Please see the release notes for details.

4 July 2007 Released Resolution Changer 3.12. This release fixes a bug when forcing an unsupported display mode.

6 Apr 2007 Released Alarm++ 7.05. The primary fix is that Alarm++ now saves the alarm file after shutting down Windows when an event window is open. (This affected the Options > Events > "When shutting down Windows ..." option.) It also sets the initial focus to the alarm view in the window (not the templates). Please see the release notes for details.

4 March 2007 Released Resolution Changer 3.11. This release fixes a bug with parsing the command line. Added support for using 'max' for width and height. Added -test switch.

20 Aug 2006 Released a new application: Timekeeper. This new utility replaces outdated tools (such as ClockEx) and uses your taskbar to display the date and time in any format you want. It also provides a handy pop-up calendar, which you can resize as you wish. (It was previously named ClockBand.)

26 May 2006 Released Alarm++ 7.04. I've restored the "old" way of playing WAV files--no more pauses. It also has a fix for an obscure bug when launching (usually) Excel. Please see the release notes for details.

16 January 2006 Released Rename Regular Expressions 1.01. Not a very illustrious beginning for a very useful utility--I accidentally released a debug build which wouldn't work unless you had Microsoft's development tools. This version is a real release version. My apologies!

13 January 2006 Released Aligner 2.81. This version fixes how Aligner interprets a centered wallpaper. Windows centers within the display; Aligner centers within the work area (taking into account the task bar).

30 December 2005 Released Aligner 2.80. This version fixes some of the quirks regarding how Windows handles the (0,0) position. It also gives you the ability to position the wallpaper slightly off the screen.

11 September 2005 Released Alarm++ 7.03 and Resolution Changer 3.01. This release fixes a couple of bugs introduced in 7.02. Please see the release notes for details.
