These are packages I developed and released in the “Classic” Mac OS days, back when a PowerMac 7100 with a 66MHz PowerPC 601 processor was actually a respectable machine. ;) This also means I produced these in high school through my freshman year of college.
The Inquisitor ET
Once upon a time, hard drives were small and I knew every single file on the drive by heart. But now we handle more complicated tasks, and software now tends to keep temporary files, caches, support files, etc. scattered around, and may not clean them up properly. It has become easy to use up your space without knowing where exactly all your space has gone. The Inquisitor was written to visualize how your space was being used, and help you to dig out those taking more than their fair share.
Daleks ET 2.0
My implementation of the classic game — conquer the robots by making them run into each other. The first version was my first “real” Mac application, the second release used an application framework (
MacZoop) to make it behave as a proper citizen as well as some fancy animation effects.
protoResizeBox
A widget for the dearly departed Newton MessagePad, allowed developers to add a interface item to their windows to allow it to be resized by the user. (Most applications were designed to fill the screen, and used fixed-size dialog boxes, so there wasn’t a standard system interface for resizable windows!)
Icons ET
The icons I used for my root hard drive directories, back in the day.
Startup Speech ET
This is a simple little program that will speak whatever text is in its STR# resource. (ID 128 only) I suggest that you place it in the Startup Items or Shutdown Items folders. It will launch into the background & quit itself when done, so it will not add any time to your bootup. The program uses the default settings in the Speech control panel, and is initially set to say "Hello there, how are you today?". You can change this with any resource editing program, such as ResEdit.
All of these fall under the following license/disclaimer:
I take no responsibility for this software whatsoever. Use it at your own risk. However, if it makes you feel any better, this software doesn't mess with your hard drive or OS, so I don't see how it could mess anything up. If it causes crashes or things start behaving funny after you have run it, write me and I'll try to help. Write me if it crashes in any case, because I think this is completely stable.
I give permission for this package to be distributed in any way, as long as the distributer is not making any profit off of it, and as long as I am given credit for this application. Contact me for permission otherwise.
