RoteBetaSoftware.net

Howdy, I have just added a new application for your downloading pleasure.

“Screeny” is an application that I’ve had around for a while now and I use it quite often to quickly capture screenshots in a “no-fuss” kinda way.

I hope you guys will find it as usefull as I have.

Check out this page for more details and the download link.

Also check out my other applications on the Freeware page. And as always if you find any of the software usefull please consider making a donation.

I am getting ready to release the next version of Event Manager.

Here is a little list of the things I’ve been working on:

• Keep your events safe with auto backups
• Improved GUI (minor changes to the look)
• Changed the look of the notify window and how it works (e.g. snoozing events will be much easier)
• Updated that experimental time picker ctrl on the edit event form (it will be more usable)
• Fixed a bug where if you were using 24hr clock you couldn’t set an event time for 12am
• Added a system wide hot key (Ctrl + Shift + E) which allows you to create an event using selected text in any other application (useful to create new events from emails or web pages etc)
• Configurable notify window transparency
• If EM is run for the first time some default categories are created and a new welcome event is created
• You can now execute an application with an event without showing a pop-up (optional)
• Added incremental search on the event and category columns

heres a sneak preview of the new notification window:

Stay tuned!

… long live RoteBetaSoftware.NET!

I’m in the process of moving hosts. That’s a big job in itself, but to complicate matters my old host (who happens to be the worst host of all time BTW) told me that THEY own RoteBetaSoftware.com and that I was only leasing it from them! Huh?!  Well that sucks! Its a case of domain hostage!

Anyway, I don’t have the time, money or patients to fight them for it or to deal with their scams, so I have registered RoteBetaSoftware.NET.  And I’m looking at this as a learning experience. I have now separated my domain and web hosting companies and I have total control over where MY domains point to.

I’ve moved all content from the old site to this one and I’ve tried to update all links pointing to the old site too. So if you could update your bookmarks, links and RSS feeds so that they point to the new domain, http://RoteBetaSoftware.net/, then that would be grand.

As part of this whole exercise, there is a new support forum here (why not sign up and leave a message), and the old one can still be viewed here for reference

If you experience any issues please let me know.

 Thank you.
