BT CAM Upload Starter 1.0
BT CAM Upload Starter - Activate BT CAM, enter your password, play the camera, start the upload, and hide BT CAM more>>
BT CAM can be used to upload a webcam image at a specified interval, the drawback is that you need to check the FTP Upload box and type in your password every time you start BT CAM. This AppleScript will solve this problem. It sets FTP upload, enters the password, plays the camera, and hides BT CAM when its done. BT CAM saves the ftp server, username, and delay time, but not your password.
To use your FTP password:
Simply open the application in Script Editor, look for the line
(*Enter password here*)
keystroke "abc123"
And replace abc123 with your password and save.
Very useful when used as a startup item.

Cave Story 0.0.7
Cave Story - side-scrolling platformer game more>>
Cave Story is really one of those games that can be considered a masterpiece of game design. There are so many wonderful and classic gaming elements, that I cannot even begin to describe just one quality well enough to say It is for this one reason alone that Cave Story is a great game. There is just so much effort, originality and ingenuity behind this game and it really shows more and more as you play through it.
The developer, Pixel spent five years making this game as fun and as great as it is by adding solid controls, smooth gameplay, a great cast of characters and dialogue, an interesting plot, good music and beautiful old-school 2-D artwork.
And on top of all this added multiple endings, several boss battles, tons of items to collect, all kinds of added secret bonuses and special challenges, various and considerably different methods of playing through the game depending on your actions, competition ranking features and an extremely high replay value. For a freeware game it is fairly lengthy too.
Cave Story is by far the best freeware game I have ever had the honor of playing through and certainly one of the best games Ive played.
The gameplay plays like a combination of various NES/Famicom games. Some that come to mind are Metroid, Castlevania, Megaman, Blaster Master and Monster Mash. Pixels art style and character design and boss battles are very reminiscent of Treasure games, like Gunstar Heroes, which happens to be one of my personal favorite games of all time.
So if you are a fan of any of these titles, then you are in for a real treat. It was a wonderful and addicting experience playing through it and I hope anyone reading this who has not already played this game will give it a shot.
You surely wont be disappointed. It reminded me of why I enjoy playing videogames.

Once you provide the web page address of the beginning of the story (the first chapter always works, and I try to support index pages as well), then the software will download each chapter in the background, saving the files into a temporary folder created on your desktop. While this is going on you can do anything else you want. Once the software has downloaded all of the chapters, it combines all of the them together into your preference of a html or text file. Finally it takes that compiled document and puts it in a folder called "New Stories" on your desktop.
