It's all explained on there...

[download MiniPlayer.exe]

MiniPlayer is a 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.

See a screenshot of the application in use.

[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.

[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.

A nifty bit of freeware to suit stations of all sizes... Contact me via email if you want this program customised or personalised with your logo or station name.

That's a topclass job! I’ve been looking for a utility like that for some time!

John Varnham, station manager, Red FM

Instructions of how and where to install are included in a readme in the zip file.

[download AlcoholPlace.exe]

Got a friend who's famous for being a bit of a wino? This might help.
Leave it on their desktop and watch them open it.

[download InsultGenerator.exe]

Some very surreal randomly-generated insults.
For example... I think you must be a big documentating broken alchemist.
