Early Java Tools
Small desktop programs I wrote for myself, from a vector calculator to a build zipper.
Before I had a team, I wrote tools for whatever was in my way that week. These nine were downloads on my old site, sorted the way I sorted them then.
Calculators
Vectors adds vectors by magnitude and direction, logs every component, and lets you recolor the panel and the log. Standard Deviation takes a list of numbers and shows each step of the calculation, not just the answer.
Productivity
Blue Searcher searched folders for files and filtered them by type. Blue Notif sat in the corner and listed unread Gmail. Their screenshots show my own files and inbox, so they stay off this page. ScreenCap captures the screen at a set resolution to a folder of your choice. BlueEdit is a text editor whose right-click menu opens a link or searches the selected text on Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wolfram Alpha, or Wikipedia. Build Advancer zips a build folder and moves it where it needs to go.
Entertainment
Media Feeds lets you follow Facebook pages without logging in; it’s on Early Web Projects too, because it renders everything in HTML. Guessing Game turns the usual game around: you set a number, and the computer guesses until it gets there.
