Build image maps from .gif pictures for people to click on various areas of your picture and jump to different links.

Sitting at home on my computer with my back to the TV ... I thought it would be nice to be able to sort of keep up on what's happening on TV, so I whipped up this little monitor mirror. It stays on top and allows me to see the reflection of the TV. It's just a black form. Good lesson on keeping a form on top and retaining settings using the registry.

I was programming a Sharp Wizard OZxx Organizer using SDK-Basic ... There is no way to see ahead of time where the PSET, LINE, LOCATE commands will place the text and graphics. So I whipped-up this little emulator. I can now enter commands manually and see where they are on the Wizard LCD display, or cut and paste from the SDK editor. There are some limitations, but it sure helps for laying out the crappy LCD display. For you Sharp Wizard fans, try this out and see if it makes it any easier to program.

Here's a unique program ... Use Notepad to enter a set of test questions or a survey, click the button, and it makes it into an HTML (webpage), displays in your browser. Put the HTML into your webspace and have people take a test online. The results get emailed back to you. Be sure to open the example files included and see the read.me file. I hope someone finds this program very useful ... email me comments. Thanks

Allows you to create your own analog meters using MSpaint. These images become the meter face. Use the (analogmeter) subroutine to draw the hand (needle) automatically scaling the needle to the size of the Picture Box and position the needle to the engineering unit (value) you wish to display. Movement is smooth. You can also vary the needle width, color, and needle length. All of the meter attributes are sent to the subroutine with each update, allowing the needle color, (for example) to change as a value increases. Using the Picture1.Picture property, you can even load in a different meter face during runtime ... the meter needle and the meter face to not conflict with each other. No special ocx's or api's needed. All done with Picture1.Line property.

Here's something I needed in a hurry ... so I took a program from Sparq (create a calendar), a program from Patrick Moore (screenshot saver), and a program from Ian Ippolito (make wallpaper). I combined them to create a calendar for wallpaper that I can enter comments in for each day. The calendar is always there as my wallpaper ... thanks to those three authors, I didn't have to write them all myself. I won't miss any more appointments now.

"ctrix" is an old card-trick using VBCARDS.OCX (included). It has a good shuffle routine you can cut/paste into your own card apps. Not an original idea, but I thought it would be fun to see if I could create it myself. Have Fun!

Example of how to get information from a webpage and use in VB. I was going to do something with this data but never got around to it ... The program gets today's list of earthquakes around the world. It actually downloads the HTML code and stuffs it into a RichTextBox.
