These are some little pieces of software I have written.
Slimm Shutdown
 |
Little utility that allows you to shutdown your computer at a certain time or after a certain time interval and can do so automatically every day. Also has administration options so users cannot change functionality. Could be useful for making sure PC’s are switched off at night. |
Slimm Stopwatch
|
|
View Flash demonstrationSlimm Stopwatch is a little stopwatch utility that automatically shrinks to the task bar when you start (or continue) the timer. While in the task bar it continues to show you the elapsed time. When you click the task bar to restore the window, the timer stops. I use it for timing public talks I deliver. I write the talk in Word and then need to practice it but I found all other stopwatch utilities always managed to be or feel in the way. So I wrote this. |
Slimm GBPVR (obsolete)
 Download |
Enhanced system tray monitor for GB-PVR. It is not designed to work with nPVR.Download the latest version or check for the latest version features and updates.
I wrote this as I was using GB-PVR for recording but PowerDVD for playback. I am not using GB-PVR as a Media Centre and so required a small lightweight interface to launch recordings. Once I had written that, I thought of and was requested extra features that I integrated into the same paradigm. |

/ August 28, 2011Hi, I was wondering if there’s an update for Windows 7 (I’ve been forced to upgrade)… when I start the clock, it minimizes to just the icon and doesn’t show the running clock… I’ve always loved this little program!

/ August 28, 2011I run Windows 7 and it works fine for me. Please check your Taskbar buttons setting. You can find this by right-clicking an empty area of the taskbar and the setting is under the Taskbar tab in the Taskbar appearance group. If Taskbar buttons is set to “Always combine, hide labels”, that would explain this behaviour. I have mine set to “Combine when taskbar is full”. If your setting is the latter and your taskbar is full, that might also explain the behaviour. In that case, you can try ticking the “Use small icons” box to give yourself a bit more room. Hope this helps. Regards.
