A set of modernized 3D pong style games combining the best features of squash and tennis. The game space is a cubic room. The back wall is defended by your opponent (the computer) and the front wall (behind you) is defended by you. The aim of the game is to make the ball hit the back wall of the game cube while preventing the ball from hitting the front wall of the game cube. There are three variants of the game: Arcade (continuously increasing skill of your opponent), Match (played according to the classic rules of tennis) and Discovery (a pleasant way of opening beautiful pictures on each wall by making the ball strike them). Each variant of the game has its own options and scoring rules. Both you and your opponent strike the ball with rackets that can move on the planes of the front and back walls respectively. The ball's trajectory depends on the position and velocity of either racket at the moment it strikes the ball, i.e. the racket lets you skew and curve the shots. The ball may touch the side walls of the cube, which can change its trajectory. A thin white frame moves along the side walls with the ball so you can feel its position easily. There is no gravity in the game; all four sides (left, right, up and down) are equivalent. When your opponent misses the ball so it hits the back side of the cube outside your opponent's racket you win. If you miss the ball and it hits the front side of the cube you lose. You always start each game, i.e. the service is always yours. You can change the style of the cube sides' decoration, the ball size and the skill of your opponent.

Installation and usage:
After installing to a IIS Virtual Folder, open Web.config from the Virtual folder and change the key conStr_def to point to your database. Please change other values if necessary.
open IE and type in as follows:
http://localhost/SQLIdl/SQLIdl.aspx
You would need to provide the correct virtual folder if you changed it during installation. Type in your SQL query and enjoy!!!
To install the command line utility, simply copy the two files SQL.exe and SQLIdl.ini to your workstation windows system32 folder, open SQLIdl.ini in notepad and provide the correct path to IIS.
Now just invoke run from Start Menu, type in your query as follows :
sql "select * from dept"

WinXCopy is a Fast hassle free XCopy like command line tool (written in C#.Net).
This utility is Windows version of DOS based XCopy utility. I designed it to make copying files repeatable and pleasant experience by avoiding black color DOS boxes and batch files. It displays bare minimum info necessary, so it is amazingly fast, especially with repetitive copies.
No installation necessary. Just unzip the exe into C:\WINDOWS\ or any other folder.
Usage : Run from or create link with following format :
WinXCopy.exe [/s] [/d]
/s - This switch makes WinXCopy copy sub folders as well
/d - This switch makes WinXCopy compare the timestamp of source and destination file and copy only if the timestamp is different
Examples :
WinXCopy C:\TestFolder\*.xml C:\AnotherFolder
WinXCopy C:\FolderWithSubFolders C:\YetAnotherFolder /s /d
Note: WinXCopy automatically overwrites files if source file exists in destination
This was developed using C#.Net, so it requires .Net Framework (I use v1.1).
If you like WinXCopy, please buy it ($5 only).

What is Fair-Sound? The Fair-Sound Audio DSP plug-in provides loudness compensation, an essential element that is conspicuously missing from the Windows Media Player 9 Series. Have you ever noticed how a high fidelity recording sounds great when the volume is high but thin and weak when played back at a low volume? The fault is not with your recording nor with your speakers; it's your ears!
The human ear has a nonlinear response to sounds at the extremes of the audio spectrum. In layman's terms, this means that your perception of the midrange sound of a trumpet remains fairly proportional as its volume goes from low to high, but not so with the low pitch of a bass guitar or the high pitch of a cymbal. As the volume decreases, the perceived levels of these
sounds fall disproportionately, resulting in a lackluster listening experience. This characteristic of human hearing has been known since the days of vinyl recording, but it seems to have been largely forgotten in the digital realm.
Fair-Sound employs a sophisticated system of intelligent filters to compensate for this nonlinear response at low volumes. By adjusting the low and high ends of the spectrum so that they appear to maintain the same relative loudness to that of midrange sounds, Fair-Sound provides the listener with a satisfying listening experience at any volume!

Program is intended for
the storage and statistical
processings of the physical
characteristics of the human body,
such as:
- Real weight
- Ideal weight
- Fat content
- Density
- Quantity of calories consumed for day
The entered data:
- Age
- Height
- Weight
- Quantity of calories consumed for day
- Sex
The calculated characteristics:
- Ideal weight
- Fat content
- Density
Were based on given calculated
By the program it is possible to do conclusions
for regulation Weight of the man that directly
influences on health. Knowing given out
by the program it is possible to establish dependence
Real weight from quantity consumed
per day of calories, thus gives
opportunity to adjust quantity consumption calories.
The calculation of calories is facilitated by presence
In the program - calculator of calories
which can be adjusted in dependence
from that food which you eat more often.
At daily consumption of food
for the sum of calories approximately
less than 1200 KCal the human is stable
begins to grow thin this is without accounting
the psychological factors such as
depression etc.
Each human knowing the ideal weight
And the real weight can count up on how many
it is necessary to grow thin or to recover.
The program allows to collect data
for the several people at once,
you can through given
program to watch out for weight of each of
the members of your family.
Frequency of data input can change from
Once per day up to an once per one month.
But than more data will be assembled by the program
By that the statistics yours physical parameters
will be exacter.
This distributed client/server application offers technology of database querying for users, not possessing knowledge of the SQL language. DB Query is a multi-tiered client-server application. It is partitioned into two logical units which run in conjunction on separate computers and consists of thin client and remote server. Db Query client is installed on the end user's computer. It is a simple and not demanding to resource program (thin client), running under Windows systems, has a friendly interface and allows to make database search requests quite simply. For searching in databases the access schemes are used. These schemes are clear for perception information model of the related database tables. Having formed the request, client sends it to remote server processing. The Remote server is installed in a central networking location accessible to all clients. It performs the authorized connection of clients, granting them the individual access rights, and executes incoming search queries. Client has not direct contacts with data sources, it interacts only with the user and the remote server. Direct access to data and search request processing are realized on server side and is hidden from the end user. The interaction of the client and server occurs through a local or global network by TCP/IP protocol. For data protection against unauthorized access, server uses authorized client connection through it unique login and password. Besides it, client software binds to the user's computer so, that connection to server with given login/password becomes possible only from single workplace. Our product is independent of database platform. We tested it with Oracle,DB2,Interbase,MS SQL,Sybase databases as well as with local desktop databases such as Paradox or Dbase. For access to databases remote server uses Borland Database Engine, which is capable to give access practically to all data sources, used nowadays.
