    The PowerPig

    I just finished up a job for a friend of mine who needed a new CMS based site for his radio station. WordPress based with custom accents and java IRC chat among other nice plugins which allow for station information to be displayed, etc.

  • David’s Software Licensing (Alpha) – in a compact library.

    April 26th, 2010

    Hello again everybody, it’s Monday again, and not really much for me to do – so I dug up an old code project of mine and updated it. It’s 11 PM and damn it, I think I accomplished something.

    Introducing David Stancu’s Hardware Enabled Licensing Library!

    Overview

    I’ve seen quite a few licensing techniques used by smalltime developers such as the one used in mIRC, but, are they really all that effective? It’s only a few bytes between you and personal freedom, so why even bother when people won’t pay for your applications? That’s a shame in my opinion – so I’ve decided to make my own library that would be a little more challenging to bypass. It looks like it’s simple base64, but it isn’t. By far.

    Functions

    • ShowUnprotectedID : Shows the “unprotected” hardware IDs from your system gathered from various components via WLM.
    • ShowID : Shows the encrypted license key – you can use this to verify

    There are also two other functions having to do with base64 and rot13, these just encrypt and decrypt. They will be removed in a future release – it’s too late for me to be assed with cleaning up.

    That’s it for tonight, you can find the DLL for download below!

  • I need an excuse; DocCorrupt is the answer!

    April 25th, 2010

    I’ve always been a person who tried to get things done on time – but sometimes I just can’t. It’s a pain in the rear end to try and meet over 9,000 deadlines in one day and my friends seem to agree.

    Here’s DocCorrupt – a little lifesaver I made in a half hour!

    Simplicity is bliss.

    Simplicity is bliss.

    Teachers aren’t the most tech-savvy of people, let’s admit it. Sometimes files get corrupted when you transfer something – yes, it genuinely happens. You can corrupt a presentation, binary, whatever, with one click using DocCorrupt. I like having this excuse in my pocket occasionally just so that I could get an extra day.

    One thing though; it isn’t my fault if your teacher still takes off points – I don’t care. It’s not David’s fault.
