Hi Everyone,

My name is Mark Avon. I'm a full-time software developer. I'm willing to create any kind software tool you want for free if you help me out with something real quick.

If you are interested, you can visit a site I just created where I put all the details. The URL is:

http://www.geocities.com/markavonsoftware/

Let me know what you all think.

Yeah. I'd like for a add-on to Firefox, or alternatively a HTTP proxy, that can detect spam so that my eyes won't be soiled by reading them.

That way, I won't be tempted to respond to them either.

Hi Chankama,

I'm not spamming. I really need help with my project. Comon man... How am I spamming? I'm not asking you to buy anything. Sorry for asking for so much for my first post.

Oh and you don't even have to include your email address if you don't want to. I just need some help.

Thanks,
Mark

Well.. ok..



I don't know much about other people, but personally I wouldn't use s/w that someone I don't know anything about gives me. Could be a virus.....

In anycase, if you are looking for a tool idea, why don't you investigate a "Windows sandbox".. A s/w that you can use to test out applications without actually installing them. More of a virtual environment without risking your system.

Or if u are looking to make a simple tool, it might be useful to have something that can calculate hashes (e.g. MD5, SHA-1, SHA-2) over "directories" - as opposed to single files. Can be used to check integrity of copied files for example.

I completely forgot that people might think I'm trying to give them a virus. I don't do too much Internet stuff, I just program.

Hmmm... would anyone else be interested in the tool that Chankama suggested?

Hey Chankama, who came up with your username? Is it like a made up DBZ name? If so, I made one too, its Rushindo :-)

what about a small tool that grants access to LAN coms without anything is shared? ...

[Gigabite]

I've emailed you, hehe, let me know if that's ridiculous.

[markavon]

Hi Gigabite,

I don't know which comment was yours, but I haven't seen any ideas are ridiculous. Thanks for the help guys! They all seem pretty simply so far and I may be able to do all of them. Hmmmm....

Mark.

Oh yeah, I just added my picture and a picture of my bookcase with all my programming books. Just thought you all might want to see that.
