Close and Delete 1.0
Close and Delete - Closes the frontmost document and moves it to the trash more>>
BBEdit has a great feature called Close & Delete, which is available when you hold down Shift and view the File menu. In BBEdit 7.0 and later, the utility of this time-saving feature is greatly diminished because BBEdit asks if youre sure that you want to delete the file.
This script restores the old behavior of the command. If you delete the file by accident, you can always recover it from the trash can.

Force Delete 1.2
Force Delete - Deletes stubborn files from the Finder more>>
Beacause you obviously cant just lanch it, please read the readme for instructions, precautions, and known issues with this program.
Force Delete a single file or folder: Select a file or folder on your computer and click the icon in your dock or Finder toolbar. A dialog should pop up asking you if youre sure you want to delete the file or folder and giving you the Unix path. Read this message and make sure that it is the file or folder you wish to delete, especially in the column view where file/folder selections are sketchy. If you decide to go through with it a dialog will pop up asking you to enter you administrator password. Type it in and press OK. The file/folder will be deleted. It may take the Finder a moment to realize that it is gone but you didnt receive an error, it is.
Enhancements:
- No more Terminal for Force Empty Trash (Thanks Tom!)
- Cleaner/Faster code
- Smarter selection error behavior (code catches its self rather than your system).

Fast Delete 1.0 is created as an AppleScript with the ability to automatically move a file to the trash and delete it. Apply Fast Delete to a function key, and choose your trash! It's much quicker than selecting what you want to delete, then typing command-delete, waiting for it to move to the trash, and then typing command-shift-delete. It's so lengthy compared to the automation that Fast Delete gives you.
If you want extra-fast file deletion, assign Fast Delete to a function key and turn off the Trash's "Warn before emptying" option. And make sure that you have the Akua S

Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far Update 2.0a
This patch will upgrade retail copies of Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far. The installation of this patch removes the feature that allowed users to deduce enemy placements during deployment mode more>> This patch will upgrade retail copies of Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far. The installation of this patch removes the "feature" that allowed users to deduce enemy placements during deployment mode. Also, dead tank sprites no longer vanish--and as an added bonus, those stay-in-place sprites will now smoke to confirm their mortal status. In addition, driving a tank straight down a road has become easier, and youll be less likely to expose your side to the enemy in the middle of a move order. Finally, antitank guns placed in multistore buildings will no longer reap any LOS advantages from higher floors, tanks can now move onto the Arnhem bridge, and since mortars on "Defend" or when controlled by the AI were too accurate, they will now target an area, not individual troops.
PowerPC, Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far (retail version)

Keyboard Cleaner 1.0
Keyboard Cleaner shields your desktop and intercepts every keystroke you might accidentally make more>>
Enter Keyboard Cleaner. It shields your desktop and intercepts every keystroke you might accidentally make except for Command-Q.
Needles to say that this was an educational project for me. While trying to create something like Visor for iTerm about a year ago I needed to figure out how to make a fading window without delving into Quarz Graphics too deeply.
Of course, Keyboard Cleaner comes free of cost. I even made a clunky video of how it works. Keyboard Cleaner is a Universal Binary and works with multi-monitor setups.
