HazteK Software

After discussions with a friend in a help desk position about his company’s in-house software sucking so badly, I decided to write a replacement for him. The program is very simple, but very useful for people in tech support or help desk positions. It’s called Repeat Phrases and allows you to copy blocks of text with a single button click. I added some extra features to my version of the application, like images on the buttons, so you can see out of the corner of your eye what you are clicking, and the ability to dock the application to any edge of any screen that is available to the system. I find it very useful, and I hope that you may find it useful as well. To download, you can visit the information page for the application or download it directly.

Another update for StorURL. Added some help features and an easier way to use an external editor for the style sheet data that is used when exporting categories to HTML documents. Fixed an issue with the updater batch file that runs which caused it to fail if the executable name is changed from default.

As always, you can download the file from the StorURL page itself, or use the built-in updater to update to the new version. You can also download the update zip file if you know what you are doing and replace your current executable with the one included in the file.

I wrote a new application this weekend. I needed a way to easily modify multiple files for the website simultaneously. The program is called MultiFile Replace. It scans through a directory that you specify, including sub-directories if that option is checked, and replaces <phrase1> with <phrase2> in all the files it finds. You can specify the file filter that you want to scan, so if you only want to change text files or html files, it is easily done. You can find more information and download it from the application’s main page, or download it directly. I think it’s simple yet powerful enough to be used by people that update a lot of “static” content on a regular basis. This is version 0.1.0, meaning it’s very new. If you have any ideas or features for the application, or have problems using it, please leave me a comment or contact me from the contact page.

I hope this new application is as much use to you as it is to myself.

A new version of StorURL has been released. Fixes include better handling of invalid URLs in validity scans, and removing the ability to edit properties when viewing All Links, since it would cause all sorts of crashes. You can either download the full installer here, download the upgrade zip file here, or here, or use the built in update mechanism if you are using 2.5.96 or higher. There are some incompatibilities with versions previous to this because of my web host changes last year.

I uploaded a new installer for StorURL. The version is now 2.5.96. It fixes some issues when importing files from older versions of StorURL. It also has updated code to get the latest updates from the HazteK Software website. Moving to my new host caused some issues with the updating mechanism, breaking any automatic updates. The full installer is available at http://www.haztek-software.com/files/StorURL_2.5_Install.exe. If you want to just download the updated binary file, you can grab it from the update folder at http://www.haztek-software.com/update/StorURL.2.5.96.zip or StorURL 2.5.96 Update. Just extract it to the StorURL 2.5.95 folder and it will be upgraded.
