Welcome to Goat 1000 - this is where you'll find some of the bits and pieces of software that I cobble together for fun. Please feel free to download them and try them out. All this stuff is freeware, no guarantee that it will do anything, etc. (though if it does fail to do anything, please let me know!) News 26/05/2007 - Not really news, more of a progress report. I've recently started on the changes that will end up in JPEG Saver version 4. The most important change is from using DirectDraw for double-buffering the transitions to full DirectX 9.0 transitions that will offload most of the processing to the graphics card. So far I have two of the old transitions working like this and two new transitions that would have been too slow to do before. The other important change planned for version 4 is better and more complete support for multiple screens. I'd like to be able to have JPEG Saver running on multiple screens in such a way that they look like they are plugged into different computers. All of this is going to take me a while, so the next version is not likely to be available before the end of the year. 21/10/2006 - JPEG Saver version 3.1.3 fixes problems with deleting and adding items in the Items tab, and also keeps the cachetimeout value when you reconfigure. I've also added support for displaying IPTC data in the Image Info item, made the format boxes bigger, and added a new option for dimming the screen after a delay or when you press a key (but you'll have to play with the config file to get that one to work - at least until I can find somewhere to cram it into the dialog!) »» Older news… Sections JPEG Saver - A screen saver for Windows that displays JPEG, PNG and BMP images. CRCDropper - A drag and drop CRC32 calculator. CRCDropper2 - Another drag and drop CRC32 calculator. CRCDropper3 - « see if you can guess what this does ». TrayBlank - a small utility for starting the screen saver. Shuffler - a small utility for managing windows. If you want to contact me, my email address is at the bottom of the Readme.txt file in any of the zip files, or you could try to figure it out from a combination of my name, (graham) this domain name (goat1000.com) and the @ sign.
