Do you like graphics gizmos on your desktop? Here is one you should try. The time cube displays a small rotating cube, displaying the current date and time, directly on your desktop. OpenGL is used for quite some special effects: specular highlights, realtime bumpmapping und cube map reflections.

The cube is partially transparent, so you can see the window contents behind it (sometimes you have to look closely though). It can be dragged around on the desktop with the left mouse button.

The Shell Object Editor finally got a revision. Quite some people asked me to make it ready for 64bit operating systems - and now it is! At least it works on my Vista 64bit, so have a go and let me know if it works for you too.

If you don't know what a shell object is, most likely you have the recycle bin or maybe the internet explorer on your desktop. But it doesn't seem to be a shortcut, because that arrow all shortcuts have is missing. And you can't remove it from your desktop, too. That is only two of the "features" shell objects have. With the shell object editor, you can not only create your own shell objects on the desktop, in My Computer, in the Control Panel and in the Network Neighbourhood. You can also hide or delete existing shell objects as soon as you enter the expert mode.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to delete shell objects that were not created with this editor by default. You have to switch to "expert mode" to delete other shell objects.

An article section has been added to the site. Introductions to the lua script plugin which is currently in beta state will be posted there. Three articles are already available and more will follow in the next few weeks.

Registered users are allowed to submit articles, too. If you have written a script in lua you are welcome to publish it here.

The ShellObjectEditor is currently under development. It is yet undecided if the next version will be 3.1 or 4.0 (depends on the number of features that will be included), but it will definately need a new icon.

Anybody out there wants to help?

The QCD Line Input Plugin has been updated to version 1.4. Only one thing changed: The previous version made the playing time display of QCD flicker. So this is only a cosmetic update, the functionality was not affected by that bug.

You can download version 1.4 here.
