c#

I have a problem, and it has nothing to do with cowbell. It does, however, have to do with the eleventy-thousand text files that I have lying around my hard drive(s). I just can't keep them organized enough any more!

I've seen a couple threads on the MediaMonkey Forums looking for help on supporting multiple databases, and it just so happens that I needed something that would let me switch databases easily while I test my Play Server application.Screenshot

Being new to MediaMonkey, and not immediately seeing a solution to my problem, I went ahead and made my own!

Basically you use this program to switch the database and launch MediaMonkey. You can replace the MediaMonkey shortcut with a shortcut to this program, even.

Next up, Verify Hash! This one will verify MD5, SHA1, and CRC32s of files that you download. The cool thing that I haven't found in other apps that do this (yes, I know there are about a million of them), is that it will look for one of these hashes in your Windows clipboard to verify against as well as a .md5, .sha, or .crc in the same folder as the file.

I've been casually searching for a couple small functions that I haven't been able to find adequate implementations of. One is an IP gadget that lets me see what my current IP is and also /renew for me when I switch from NAT (work) to bridged (home) networking in my VM.

The other is a small calendar app that shows me "today" and any upcoming holidays/birthdays, etc (I'm constantly looking at the calendar for some reason). I want to enter in all my reoccurring dates (birthdays, paydays, etc) but I don't need a task scheduler. There are a brazillion calendar apps out there but they were all way overkill and didn't integrate with my system/workflow the way I was looking for.

I've been completely facinated lately with that old Busweiser commercial after seeing it again recently. Also recently, I've been getting back into C# trying to help out a friend of mine. Put the two together and what do you get?

True, True (*-style)!

Enjoy!
