Any programs you have programmed?

[Jordan]

Yeah, they probably worked on those algorithms over a significant period of time because every time I do something I think of a way to make it faster. We have to use the huffman encoding algorithm, but the hard part is managing all the individual bits since you can only read in 8 bit chunks with C++. It's just tedious.

Edit: What I crossed out is false.

Me and my friend made a batch file that opened an infinite amount of command prompts and made them switch colors as fast as it could. 1 would max the processor, and it crashed pretty quickly! Lol

I coded a web browser, with loads of functionality. It had a drop down menu of links, a bunch of buttons, a help menu... Unfortunately my computer had hard drive failure and I lost it...

[Jordan]

Were you using Webkit or Microsoft's browser engine (or another engine)? I thought about making a simple one with Qt in C++ since it includes Webkit which is open source, but I ended up working on a simple chat system instead.

You should really consider using an automatic backup program such as dropbox to save your files.

I coded a Twitter client like a year back, i'll upload it if i can find it.

I was using c#, VS 2010 Professional

And I think I have a backup storage device in my closet somewhere, I'm just too lazy to dig it all out and find it, and then move all my files over. Doesn't exactly appeal to me

Then you were using Microsoft's browser engine, unless you decided to create a HTML parser yourself and an engine to draw all the widgets. ;P That's the great thing about using C#, though, you have the .NET framework at your fingertips so you can do whatever you want to do quickly without having to write everything yourself.

And Dropbox is a simple and free program that acts as a "My Documents" folder, and whatever you put into that folder gets instantly uploaded to their website so you can download your stuff from a different computer (or sync two or more computers). I use it constantly every day and couldn't live without it. If you want an invite I'll send you one (that way I'll get more space :] ).

That's what I paid $800 for

[Jordan]

You should be able to get it for free if you are a student.

[Adam]

I didn't qualify. My college wasn't on the list :/

[Jordan]

That sucks.

[edenwax]

Awwwww I want a Dropbox invite!

[Cam]

Where's this dropbox?

[Jordan]

Send me your emails and I'll give you an invite. I get 250MB of additional space for every person I invite, and I can get up to 8GBS but I'm only at 3GBs.

Me and my Dad coded a file searcher so my Dad could search for his music quickly without spending an hour looking for it in his hundreds of thousands of songs.

What language did you use?

What about Microsoft search?
