Publisher's description
Ute is a compact utility with Time Syncing, Window Shutdown control, Wave File playing, Delayed / Controlled Running and Wallpaper Changing capabilities. It is a collection of some Sinner Computing utilities (iTimeSync, Slam and QWave.) with three new functions are also added. (Run, Wallpaper and CD.) It is optimised for Command Line Control but the Wallpaper Changer and iTimeSync can also be operated in window mode.
The iTimeSync function synchronizes your computer clock with an internet time server. You can set up to five different time servers, which can be automatically checked in turn on a failure to connect, and a positive or negative time offset can be set if you like your clock to be fast or slow.
The Window Shutdown function, known as Slam, adds the ability to easily shutdown, restart, log off or power-down the computer. This can be useful for shutting down windows automatically at a set time using the built in Windows Scheduler. Force can be used to closed crashed programs, and delayed / warned shutdowns are also supported.
QWave is a compact alternative to much larger audio File player. It allows most audio files to be played virtually instantly as opposed to waiting for a larger program to load, display an window, and then play the sound. Auto file type registering is supported, as well as early sound termination for larger files.
The Wallpaper changer function will randomly choose and resize an image from a given directory. It natively supports most JPG, GIF and BMP files.
Finally, the Run function allows a program / file to be run with process priority, delay and cancel options and the CD drive function can open, close or toggle a CD draw.
All of the functions have logging functions and settings that are saved for default use. Many of these settings can be overridden or changed when run in Command Line Mode. Due to being written in Assembly Ute requires under 150kb of hard drive space.
Break |
Break is designed to help you work more effectively by recording your work times and reminding you when you have been working for too long. It lets you set a timer from 1-120 minutes to remind you to get up and go for a walk, have a coffee, etc.
Chop |
Program for splitting large files for easier distribution with CRC, CL access and simple Encryption. Files can be split by either the number of files that you want, the maximum file size, or you can use preset common sizes for floppies, CDs, etc...
CPU |
CPU is a Cost Per Unit calculator to assist in deciding what product and packet size is the best value for money. The window stays on top and there are two independent calculations shown to make comparing prices easier. It is written in Assembly.
CPUSpy |
CPUSpy tests your processor and using an internal database of most common CPUs, displays CPUID data such as cache details, cache and CPU speed, processor features, processor name, IP, OS and drives in a tabbed window. Supports HTML exporting of data.
CryptIt |
CryptIt is designed to use conventional XOR encryption on keys that are the same size as the file to be encrypted. CryptIt also has a ability to use removable media (USB drives, CDs, floppies) as a key code book.
Egg |
Multifunction timer, settable from 3 seconds up to 49 days and capable of showing up to four fully independent timers. Borderless full screen, tray, minimised, MP3, and Command Line options are also supported. It even has a chess and work/rest mode!
GigAlarm |
GigAlarm is an alarm program, capable of thousands of different alarms. The alarm can be either a wave file playing, a program/file running, changing the background wallpaper, a window, shutdown or hibernation resume.
iTimeSync |
iTimeSync synchronizes your computer clock with an internet time server. It supports both RFC-868 (TIME) and RFC-2030 (SNTP), can act as a RFC-868 server. and it can run as a Windows Service.
jFolder |
This assembly langage program allows Windows 2K/XP users to customize the appearance of folders. You can choose the icon and tool tip of any folder, giving the same effect (if desired) of system folders like the Recycle Bin or "My Documents".
JukeBx |
Playlists are a useful way to organize your digital music... if you have only a few hundred songs. JukeBx changes this. It creates playlists as it plays that it creates based on how you, and nine other users, rate the song.
QWave |
This assembly language program is a compact alternative to much larger AudioFile player. It allows an audio file to be played virtually instantly as opposed to waiting for a larger program to load, display an window, and then play the sound.
Secs |
This program is a simple up/down timer, settable from 3 seconds up almost 50 days. Settings are saved for easy configuring. Full screen, tray, minimised, MP3, and Command Line options are also included. Secs can even show and set down to milliseconds
Slam |
This Assembly Language program adds the ability to easily shutdown, restart, log off or power-down the computer. Force can be used to closed crashed programs, and delayed shutdowns are also supported.
SmEdit |
SmEdit is a compact text editor that packs far more features than its size suggests. Due to its configurable design, it can be as basic or as featured as you want. This makes SmEdit an extremely quick loading and flexible editor for most tasks.
TomeBase |
TomeBase is a compact Book and Movie database written in Assembly language, making it an extremely small and efficient package. (TomeBase installed takes up less than 100KB.) There are 19 data fields and search plus CSV file Exporting is supported.
TwinSeek |
TwinSeek will speed sorting significantly by comparing all the files in a directory, and will then show what ones are 95% similar. TwinSeek can also used to provide a detailed comparison of the differences between two files.
Volt |
Volt is an power monitoring and controlling utility. It provides a graphical and text display of the internal battery state of a Laptop Computer, as well as being a Quick Shutdown utility supporting idle and delayed shutdowns as well as resuming.
XorIt |
XorIt is designed to use conventional XOR encryption on keys that are the same size as the file to be encrypted for maximum security.
