ApplicationsLawnLoginI get tired of running a browser everytime I use Georgia Tech's LAWN network, especially if I'm just running a non-browser app like AIM. I spent a few hours coding some C# and LawnLogin was the result, available for download. LawnLogin, as the name might imply, allows you to login to LAWN automatically by watching your network and submitting your login details to LAWN as soon as you've joined the network.Screenshots:![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() How it WorksWhen running, LawnLogin keeps up with your network status and checks whether you are connected to LAWN, as well as whether you are logged in. If you connect to GTwireless or the wired LAWN system, the program will detect this and take the desired action. If you prefer, it can present a login dialog or automatically log in if you have entered a username and password in the options. Your password is stored in a somewhat-obfuscated manner in the registry, but as with any app that saves your password, this is not completely secure if someone gains access to your computer. You may enter just a username if you prefer to be prompted for the password each time. Because LawnLogin uses HTTPS to talk to LAWN's login servers, and because HTTPS provides server identity verification, you can be assured that it will never accidentally give your details to any other server.Source Code, etc.For those who are curious and/or security-conscious, you can download the source.

Ever since MS Office began providing a shortcut to start the screensaver on demand I had been spoiled by it. However, since the MS Office toolbar has gone out of use and because I didn't want to depend on a multi-hundred-dollar piece of software to start my screensaver, I wrote this program which makes a simple API call to start the active screensaver. Put it in the start menu and give it a key combination for easy access. Note: Windows XP SP2, and possibly others, considers the release of a key enough to "exit" the screensaver. Thus, when you use a key combination to execute this program (and run the screensaver), release the keys very quickly so that they're up before the screensaver gets going.Download StartSaver (8k)
Test cursors over various background colors.
When developing cursors, it helps to have a point of reference to see what the cursors will look like when animated and hovering over various colors. This app allows various cursor types to be previewed while providing a multi-color and multi-pattern surface over which to hold the active cursor.
