Packet radio.
Bird modem, a utility for transmitting data over an audio channel in a manner twice as fast and more reliably than that used by minimodem.
Windows 10 optimiser script, a script which kills off much of the Windows 10 spyware and telemetry systems and some of the general bloat.
Minuimus, the file shrinker: Automates the use of a number of file optimisation tools. Just point it to your data, and watch it losslessly get smaller.
Confero near-duplicate file finder.
Tiny 'web apps':
VoroWar game
Cardadd, a utility to add up many single-digit numbers very quickly. Useful when playing Munchkin or Braggart.
