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
[download AlcoholPlace.exe]
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.
