easyUnpack for Windows

Simplify archive extraction to what it should have always been: double click and it is extracted without a mess. Single file or single folder (with files within) will be extracted at the same level then the archive. Multiple files will be extracted within a folder named as the archive.

No more need to open an archive software and click extract to. No more right-click and choose badly extract here (and end-up with a mess of multiple files) or within the archive name (and end up with nested folder) because you never know if the files inside the archive are in a folder or not.

Install now and save some precious time and headache!

Features

  • Unpack with a double-click almost any format (7z, zip, gz, …)
  • Multiple files will be extracted cleanly within a new folder
  • Multiple files within a folder won’t have an extra nested folder
  • Nested archive like .tar.gz are extracted with a single double-click

How to Install

First if you don’t have it, you’ll need to install 7-zip archiver. Then, download easyUnpack 1.0 (~ 40 KiB)

  • 1.0 Initial Release

coverPlay – 3D Albums Launcher

An experiment to bring back nice covert art of albums while played digitally. Some months ago, I run into CoverFlow and it appears that it was exactly what I wanted since ages. I had kind of similar ideas but never that looked that good. However as I’m neither a Mac user, nor using iTunes, I had to code my own solution. In short, coverPlay is kind of coverFlow for windows.

This early release is not as polished as coverFlow. So far, this is basically a launcher for foobar2000 or winamp. There isn’t much requirement except that your albums are in separated folders with image inside. As an alpha release, there are still many glitchs. Installation is manual (not much to do anyway). It hangs a bit when mipmapping the covers. Usability isn’t much polished. But that better than nothing ;)

Seems it appears on YouTube, check this out!

The code has been opensourced and development is now by Mikael under the name coverJuke on SourceForge.

Still want the alpha?

Download coverPlay 1.0 alpha (~500 KiB)

Changelog

  • 1.0 coverJuke released on SourceForge

Analys.icio.us – word frequency analysis

For posterity, some lame php code made when tags were brand new and web2.0 was all the rage: Analys.icio.us allow you to draw a map of words. The bigger are the most used. You can analyse plain text or an url. There is no meaning in the word position. If you move your mouse over a word, you’ll get a tooltip with the word count. You can download the code.
