Pixel Picker 1.0.1

Just fixed a bug that caused the application to remain in memory on shutdown.  This caused the software to not allow Windows to shut down correctly.

Also added version information to the About box.

Pixel Picker (Initial Release)

Hello,

In-between working, going out and developing ToolTask I have just made the finishing touches to the first version of Pixel Picker.

In a nutshell, this software gets the Colour (or Color to non-UK people) that is currently underneath the mouse pointer.

I know that this has been done many times before but that hasn't stopped me from making my own version.

ToolTask (Progress Update)

Hi,

Over the past few weeks I have received alot of email regarding ToolTask and its current status.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) my 3 month stint of unemployment has ceased and I now work for a respectable web-design company as a Programmer.  This has put me off development for tooltask for the time being but since I have received so many emails about Version 1.2 I might aswell put the final efforts into fixing it.

Currently it can save in 3 different formats (Outlook Task, vCalendar, iCalendar) but the vCal and iCal formats are a bit dodgy.

As to whether I will release the source-code is another matter since it will require alot of time to tidy it up (I am not a naturally tidy person when it comes to code) but I assure you all that the source is on track for release some time in the near future.

I would like to thank you all for your interest in this 'hobby project' of mine and I assure you that you won't be disappointed with coming releases.
