Ping Service
This tool provides a method for monitoring the state and ip of a machine on the network.
The scenario goes like this: I have a machine which provides some kind of remote service across the internet. However the machine is connected to the internet via cable/adsl or some other kind of non-permanent connection. The result is the ip is unreliable and can change at the whim of the isp. This means at any point in time I can’t guarantee what the ip of my machine is so when I attempt to use my service from a remote location it may or may not work. Additionally, once the ip has changed I have no way of knowing what the new ip is.
This tool solves the problem by using a third party machine which does have a reliable ip to monitor the first machine via the ping protocol. This third party monitor machine records regular pings coming from the first machine and notes when the ip changes. When you can no longer access your machine remotely and suspect the ip has changed, you telnet into the third party machine and examine the ping log to discover the new ip.

Desktop Calendar
A small calendar and event reminder that unobtrusively sits on your desktop and is ready to use any time. No task bar button or system tray icon. The calendar is transparent so it’s not an eyesore and consumes very little memory. Enter as many daily or regular reminders as you like. Float your mouse over a day to see all reminders for the day. Shows a short list of upcoming reminders below the calendar. Fonts, colours and tool tips are customisable so it blends in with your desktop colour and font schemes.

Really Simple Menu
This really simple menu system is intended for situations where you want to create a really simple system for computer illiterate users to access some applications or documents. For example, a public kiosk. The buttons are big enough to use on a touch screen. The minimal display consists of a header area with title, sub-title and logo and the main area containing buttons with icons and captions. The menu can’t be accidentally closed, dragged, resized or hidden. Buttons are created by making Windows shortcuts. Customise the button caption, icon and target by editing the shortcut.
