Because there has been little interest in downloading our Windows Desktop Applications, we have removed the page with descriptions of our applications and links to our customer create page which allows entry to the actual download page. We aren't actively trying to pursue customers to download and use these applications to sustain our business. We do hope to provide freelance development to other small businesses and this is how we hope to sustain the business. The pages for downloading these applications and purchasing activation keys are still present on the main website to demo some of the capabilities that we have in development of both web applications and Windows Desktop Applications.

If you are interested in downloading one or more of our applications you may do so after entering your customer contact information by clicking this link, Download.

Password Randomizer with Encrypted Storage System (PRESS)

PRESS is a free password manager that will generate and store passwords for your various accounts. Your passwords are stored in a local vault file that is encrypted with AES-256 encryption using a master password you choose that if you wish is never stored anywhere on your PC or anywhere else. You may optionally create a secure vault key file that will allow you to access your passwords without typing in your master password. This free application has some capabilities limited, but for a fee an activation key may be purchased to unlock all of its features.

This is a sample of a hybrid winform/Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Windows application. Much of the user interface is done in winform with some WPF controls and WPF screens. This shows results of updating a winform application to include more modern controls available with WPF.

Windows Desktop Farkle Dice Game

Farkle is a free dice game that you can play on your Windows PC.

This is a sample of a WPF Windows application.

We have much experience in software development with a range of application project experience that can translate into productive freelance development. Early in our experiences we worked on embedded systems development where we programmed in a variety of microprocessor assembly languages, Ada, C, C++. We have experience with avionic software, medical device and manufacturing process controls. Embedded systems work was among some of our favorites; however, we also have worked in IT development where we have experience with relational database management systems such as Ingres, Oracle, RBase, and SQL Server. We have developed solutions for Unix and Windows platforms and have experience in working with Flexera's Install Shield software for creating install packages for Windows Desktop Applications. We have developed a variety of desktop applications including winform and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) as well as some hybrids of winform with WPF controls.

Our primary interest now is in helping other small businesses in whatever ways they may need. We are open for any ideas that you may have but don't have the in house skills to develop for your business.

Aside from software development work experience we have worked in retail and food service industries in our younger days. This gave us experience in point of sale as well as inventory control and food preparation. These skills may also aid us in developing a solution that will perfectly address an issue you may have in your day to day business.

Thanks for your time and attention to reading our posts on this blog site and may you be blessed today and always!

In computer science we often measure time elapsed as very small numbers. It is kind of interesting to think about time in this way. Especially when you consider that science tells us Earth has been in existence for billions of years that means on such a scale of time our lives are really very short. Here's a list of short time measurements that was provided by a student named Kaushik Bukkuri.

There are many measures of time that are less than a second. Here are some from largest to smallest:

  1. Decisecond(One tenth of a second)
  2. Centisecond(One hundredth of a second)
  3. Millisecond(One thousandth of a second)
  4. Microsecond(One millionth of a second)
  5. Nanosecond(One billionth of a second)
  6. Picosecond(One trillionth of a second)
  7. Femtosecond(One quadrillionth of a second)
  8. Attosecond(One quintilionth of a second)
  9. Zeptosecond(One sextillionth of a second)
  10. Yoctosecond(One septillionth of a second)
  11. Planck time(Shortest theoretically measurable time)

Hope this helps!

Our beta test phase has successfully completed and we have released PRESS v4.1 to the public! This new release makes script development for automation macros much easier than in past. We will continue efforts at building up the macro library so that our users won't have to use this feature in cases where there is a library entry for a website being added to your password vault. We hope that you will help us if you create a script for a website not already in the library that is distributed with PRESS install package.

You can email us your library file with any changes you have made. mailto:mike@horvathsoftware.com We will vet submissions and add them to the install package version of the library for future releases of PRESS.

We recently revised PRESS to ask you if you would like to send us your library file when you click the Update Library button on the Website Learner screen. If you choose to send the file your default email client will be used with the email generated automatically containing an attachment file that is the library file. We strive to make the lives of our users a little easier in whatever ways we can.

Thank you for using PRESS and for reading this post! Have a blessed day!
