  1. Leaving the user is fine by me, but just removing personal info such as my password (or scrambling it or w/e). I was luckily unaffected by the hack, but the hack made me sharpen my password practices and starting to keep track of stray accounts that I have on the web (such as this one). As for not reusing passwords, there were some pretty big fools (to reuse your term) owned in the hack that should be way more leet than me. Just go read the hacklog that was released by the hackers. Anyway, I don't want to open that wound again, so I'll just stop here. I have removed some info from my account now, so I'm ready to be banned by an admin. Thanks for the help everyone.
  2. Hi everyone. I want to delete my account on this forum, can an admin help me? The reason is that I am almost never here and partly because of the forum hack that occurred last year. Thanks.
  3. I'm glad to hear it. Also, I forgot to mention it, all my apps are open source, so you can learn quite a bit just by looking at the source code :D
  4. Hi guys. I just want to let you guys know about some apps I've made for Windows. Most of them aim to fill in some of the blanks in Windows. The two apps which I'm proud of the most are SuperF4 and AltDrag: When you got SuperF4 running, you can hit Ctrl+Alt+F4 at any time to kill the program you have selected. This is different from the usual Alt+F4, which only asks the program to quit. I made SuperF4 to help me out when games hang, you can't get out from fullscreen and have to reboot. Now I can just press Ctrl+Alt+F4 and I'm back to windows in a second. Also useful if you have to exit TF2 while its loading, etc. I recently added the ability to press [the windows key]+F4 and then click on the window you want to kill. AltDrag will help you move windows around on the screen. You can just hold the alt key down and grab any window on the screen with the mouse and move it around. I got inspired from the same feature in Linux. You can also hold shift to make the window stick to other windows. I can't tell you how much I love this program. I got two other programs which are useful sometimes, KillKeys and ShutdownGuard: KillKeys can disable keys on your keyboard. Initially it's configured to disable the windows buttons and the menu button, but you can configure it to disable other keys as well. The idea is to prevent accidentally pressing the keys in games, but right now it always disables the keys, even when you're not in a game. I'm planning to update the program to make it possible to only disable some keys when you are in a fullscreen window. ShutdownGuard prevents the computer to shutdown, reboot or log off. When a program attempts to do so, ShutdownGuard will prevent it and prompt you if you want to continue. I'm pretty certain ShutdownGuard will crash in Vista, since microshaft have redone a lot about the security there. I guess in most cases you won't need ShutdownGuard anyways, I'm not even using this app myself anymore. It's not a big priority for me to make it compatible with Vista. The programs don't have a GUI, only a tray icon. They're pretty discrete and are supposed to be there without being in the way. Maybe SuperF4 and AltDrag are worthy to be featured on the show? Any feedback is appreciated. :)
