MiniPlayer
[download
MiniPlayer.exe]
MiniPlayer is a free utility designed to assist radio broadcasters.
It's a very easy-to-use, simple application designed for playing out
news cuts, imaging, beds, music or any other audio that is required.
All you need is Windows Media Player (which you can download for free
from Microsoft) and you're away. The program can open almost any audio
file format, including MP3s and WAVs. You can create as many instances
of the program you need and load a file on each.
Clock
[download
Clock.exe]
Clock (a utility without a very interesting name) is a little program
for broadcasters that displays the time in words. Simple but effective
during a live show when you're trying to backtime up to the news at
the top of the hour, answer the switchboard-full of callers and make
sure you keep people informed about the hold-up on the motorway. Or
something. Contact
me via email if you want this program customised or personalised
with your logo or station name.
Copycount
[download
Copycount.zip]
An invaluable tool for broadcasters of radio and television news - just
open or paste in a chunk of text (a script, for instance) and almost
instantly you're given a rough guide as to how long it will take to
read the script aloud.
ClocX patterns
[download
ClocXPatterns.zip]
Three images of industry-standard broadcast clocks with the associated
code to interact with the freeware
application ClocX, built by Tenzor.
Instructions of how and where to install are included in a readme in
the zip file.
AlcoholPlace

Got a friend who's famed for being a bit of a wino? This might help.
Leave it on their desktop and watch them open it.
Random
Insult Generator
[download
InsultGenerator.exe]
Some very surreal randomly-generated insults.
For example... I think you must be a big documentating broken alchemist.
