  • EoL[TimeCapsule] COSI - Computer Oem Support Information 1.0

    [TimeCapsule] COSI – Computer Oem Support Information 1.0

    Time Capsule Project
    This is a time capsule project/product from way back in my earlier programming years, you can read more about this at the information section bellow.

    COSI – Computer OEM Support Information was designed for a company where I did an internship which build, sold and repaired many consumer computers. With COSI it became super easy (and fast) for them to add their OEM Information to the computer (visible when right-clicking on My Computer->Properties).

    NOTE
    DO NOT use this software for serious purposes anymore! It does still work for some Windows versions, but please read the information bellow first! It is now just here for educative/archive/TimeCapsule purposes!

  • EoL[TimeCapsule] TBConn (connection log utils)

    [TimeCapsule] TBConn (connection log utils)

    Time Capsule Project
    This is a time capsule project/product from way back in my earlier programming years, you can read more about this at the information section bellow.

    These are four little utils which logged the connection result/status of a (dail-up) tool called RASDAIL95 to a log file. My father requested me to make these utils back then for his mail server and as far as I can remember quite a few others from the community he was in back then used these utils for quite a while.

    NOTE
    Please read the information bellow first! These tools still work perfectly on older machines (most 16 and 32-bit computers) but they do not work anymore on full 64-Bit operating systems like Windows 10 for example.

  • EoL[TimeCapsule] TBStart & TBEnd

    [TimeCapsule] TBStart & TBEnd

    Time Capsule Project
    This is a time capsule project/product from way back in my earlier programming years, you can read more about this at the information section bellow.

    TBStart.exe and TBEnd.exe are two small utils I wrote when I was around 13 years old, which where used by my father and quite a few other people he knew whom used the Mercury Mail Server by David Harris. The utils I wrote where (are) two little executables which could log when a certain process had started and when it had ended/completed (by adding my utils to the batch (.bat) file when starting the program). You can read more information about this bellow.

    NOTE
    Please read the information bellow first! These tools still work perfectly on older machines (most 16 and 32-bit computers) but they do not work anymore on full 64-Bit operating systems like Windows 10 for example.

  • EoL[TimeCapsule] TextSpec 2.0B (VB6)

    [TimeCapsule] TextSpec 2.0B (VB6)

    Time Capsule Project
    This is a time capsule project/product from way back in my earlier programming years, you can read more about this at the information section bellow.

    TextSpec is (was) a simple tool to do something which WordPad could not do (and still can’t in Windows 10 😳!): Count the characters, lines and words in a piece of text.

    This was something me and many of my fellow students needed for our book reports for example, so back then I made this simple and small tool to solve that problem for us.

    NOTE
    DO NOT use this software for serious purposes anymore! It is just here for educative/archive/TimeCapsule purposes! Please read the information bellow to learn more.

  • ESP Direct Adapter (for LABUNO)

    Literally! You DO NOT need this board ;) you can achieve EXACTLY the same with two (female-female) jumper wires! Please read the additional information section for more information.

    “Multi Pack” NOTE:
    The (NON USB) XNL LABUNO download also contains a panelized version of the XNL LABUNO which includes two XNL Logic Monitors, an XNL ESP Direct Board, and an XNL WESP Board which means that it might actually be cheaper to order the panelized version (if your PCB Manufacturer allows pre-panelized boards) if you need or want all modules.

  • R36 Add-On Systems Installer

    R36 Add-On Systems Installer

    This small program/script can be used on your R36S/R36H retro console running on Linux (ArkOS) to install Add-on ‘systems’. This program will add the systems to the Emulation Station Configuration automatically, and you are also able to remove the systems with this program

    Adding the XNL Ft. system/category gives you the possibility to install all the tools/programs I’ve released into their own category in your Emulation Station main menu. This prevents you from having to go to Options->Tools->XNL Tools ever time you want or need to use one of my programs, tweaks or utils. You can of course also just install them in /roms/tools/XNL Tools, however personally we like to keep our tools/programs a bit more organized 😊.

    The Apps system/category basically allows you to put any .sh script into the folder /roms/apps and run it from the Emulation Station main menu. Some of my releases will actually require this system/category, but you can also install (or make) your own Linux/Bash start scripts in this category/system.

    Current Version: 1.0

    Please read the additional information bellow!

    A .sh script is basically an open-source script which you can just run as-is on your (in this instance Linux) machine/console. You can run it, but for example also open it in Notepad++ and view/edit the code directly.

  • R36 Linux Partition Sizer

    R36 Linux Partition Sizer

    This program can be used to assign additional storage space to the Linux/ArkOS partition on your SD-Card by taking it from the ROM’s partition. This can (and will) be extremely useful when you want to install additional packages, drivers, development tools or any other add-ons which are installed directly into Linux (instead of being a ROM/game on your ROM’s partition).

    It’s highly recommended to read more about the why and how bellow 😊

  • Sophie's Fallout Bed (A Fallout Themed Pigeon Bed)

    Sophie’s Fallout Bed (A Fallout Themed Pigeon Bed)

    I basically just wanted a Fallout themed bed for our office pigeon Sophie The Pigeon.

    So that is exactly what I have done, I designed a bed to scale for her (almost 100% with TinkerCad) inspired by a bed from the Fallout New Vegas DLC Dead Money.

    There is also a YouTube video about me building the bed here

    And Sophie has also released her own video where she shows her new bed ;) on her YouTube Channel here.

    TIP: I have posted an article here with lots of tips and (safety) information in regards to 3D printing for pigeons (and other pets)
