Utilities

Some applications or tools I patched up along the way and I found worthy of sharing with the rest of the world. This list will never be complete.

Custom Keyboard Layout v20150121	This is a custom keyboard layout which includes specific central and eastern-European accent letters accessible using the AltGr key. See extra characters here. It is tested on Windows 7 but should work on all editions (both 32 and 64bit builds are included).
Nightwatch (win32) nightwatch-0.2.1130.zip	Nightwatch is a little utility to hang around in your system tray and run scheduled actions after at a specific moment. Nightwatch is useful in scheduling your computer to start/stop playback of two separate programs and turn your monitor on or off without your intervention – either at night or in the morning. Of the actions it can perform: – play, pause or stop Winamp – play, pause, stop or close BSPlayer – turn monitor on or off The configured actions can be set to run after a specific amount of time or at a specific time of the day.
Uname (win32-cli) uname-0.1.1z.zip	Uname is a replacement of the Linux “uname” command for Windows operating systems. It will display the OS version information in almost the same manner the original “uname” program does.
Uptime (win32-cli) uptime-0.2.1z.zip	Uptime is a replacement of the Linux “uptime” command for Windows operating systems. It will display the system’s uptime in days, hours, mins and secs (at a maximum of about 44 days – the maximum Windows supports). It also displays the current logged in username, and the CPU load.

Below is an incomplete list of third party tools I find useful and noted down for future reference
