After some feedback I received from collegues and comments I dediced to release a quick update of sharprd.
List of major changes after the break…
I’m very pleased to announce a new release of sharpallegro.
Not much has changed, but there are some important improvements I wanted to make available to the public. Here follow a list of major changes (for a complete reference check the CHANGES file in the release package):
Here comes a new project which combines my curiosity about the emulation world and the need to show sharpallegro capabilities.
Since I had some feedback from sharprd users, I decided to release a new version, which doesn’t feature many updates, but some of them are critical for the usability.
Major changes include:
There’s also an attempt to enable remote program execution, but the lack of documentation about it, only resulted in preparing the required user interface.
In another attempt of increasing my website page ranking and SEO, trying to understand the trends of my followers, I decided to improve my download statistics page.
The old one used to be a custom page where I needed to develop some easy charting tool (PHP lines graph tool).
Time passed and I decided to try a new approach, and one of the best examples I could find around was Google Analytics. Unfortunately the flash based chart inside analytics seems to remain a secret, but Google offers not one, but two free services to create your own charts (In my case line/area charts).
The first one I found was Google Chart Image APIs which works very similar to the php script I developed, of course it is a lot better and supports a gazilion of features.
I was quite satisfied, but suddenly, while looking for some more documentation, I stepped on Google Chart Tools. Actually that’s even more interesting.
Just to say some of the cool features it adds:

Ok, by this time, the title should have attracted your attention 
I’m a real fan of “The Big Bang Theory” TV show (I strongly suggest you start watching it if you didn’t yet), and I fell in love with Sheldon’s and Leonard’s shirts.
I wanted to buy a couple of them and I was sure to find some good examples around the web, but none of them seemed to satisfy my need to be nerd because of the price, USA shipping only and so on…
So (as a bit more often do), I decided to draw the logos myself and let them be printed by a local shop.
I opened up Inkscape and GIMP and here’s an example of what I got:

Just after a few days here’s another release of sharphook.
As always happens I had some requirements from another application I’m working on so I needed to improve sharphook as well.
Actually it’s not a real improvement, but a bugfix release since I found out Modifiers keys were not treated the way a normal WinForm application would do.
In the process I also fixed KeyPress combinations which were excluded because of system keys.

I had some changes laying around so I decided to publish a new release of my .NET keyboard hook.
One of the main improvements is that sharphook is no longer only a keyboard hook, it now support mouse events. Feel free to integrate mouse clicks, wheel movements and more in your application.
Since the first release seemed a bit too quick & dirty, I saved some time to make sharpmines a bit more complete.
Here follows the list of major changes, for a complete list take a look at the CHANGES file inside the release package.
