Glass Clock
Displays transparent glass clock in your Dashboard more>> The Gnugs, a strange little species from outer space, are stranded on earth. It is your task to help them to get back to their spaceship. The ship stops at different places on earth, like greek, australia, amazonas, a volcano and even the bermuda triagnel. At each place, you have to use your power to wisely change the landscape so the Gnugs can find the way back to the teleporter youve put there. Of course, you cant control them directly, you have to cleverly place bits and pieces here and there so the riddle will get solved. After collecting all the Gnugs at one place, you can advance to the next one.
Gnugs has been tested as a prototype and got very high ratings from users, even though the prototype had very simple graphics and only a few levels. This full game now features supercute comic-style graphics and 100 levels to solve! Ten different places, each with different graphics and music, are packed with lots of cute Gnugs to save.
Registration includes a free XtraGames game of your choice!<<less

Stalker CommuniGate List 1.5.1
Stalker CommuniGate List is a beneficial and easy-to-use communication module which implements mailing lists and message distribution. more>>
Stalker CommuniGate List 1.5.1 is a beneficial and easy-to-use communication module which implements mailing lists and message distribution.
The module itself maintains lists information, creating of message digests, and message distribution. Actual message delivery is implemented with the CommuniGate kernel and other CommuniGate modules. Mailing lists used for message distribution can contain E-mail, Fax, Pager and other addresses supported with the CommuniGate system. The List module can maintain several mailing lists simultaneously. Each mailing list can have its own set of options. Since the List module receives all messages via the CommuniGate kernel, data conversions (as MIME decoding) are always performed.
The List supports the "feed" operation mode, when each posted message is immediately distributed to all subscribers. List also supports the "digest" operation mode, when posted messages are composed into digests which are sent to the subscribers at specified times. The List supports archiving of digests and retrieving of back issues via E-mail and supports moderated mailing lists. List stores subscription lists as tab-delimited text files. It allows you to create applications that can easily manipulate with mailing lists. List is optimized to process large (multi-thousand subscribers) mailing lists effectively.
Al Bhed Translator 1.0
Al Bhed Translator - Translate any text to and from the Al Bhed language more>>
Al Bhed is a code used in the game Final Fantasy X, but this can be used to encode any kind of text, really. If you play FFX, youll probably want this handy. Trust me....
The Al Bhed are a cultural group within the world of FFX, complete with their own language. The only cultural group, by the way, which speaks another language, even though there are several different sentient species on the planet.
Oops, did I say "language"? I meant code. Thats right- instead of making up some nonsense for the Al Bhed, they changed english letters into different letters and called that a "language". To that I say- huh? Then you go around finding "primers" to this language that translate the letters (one at a time) back. Yeah, I wish I could learn Japanese that way!
