Some tools that I have made for myself but might be useful to others. Some are open source, all are free.

• Discreet Reminder
  Discreet Reminder is exactly that: a program that discreetly reminds you of whatever you like at constant intervals.

• StateAid
  StateAid is a utility that allows you to inspect states in your code in a non-linear fashion. It does so by parsing a log file which is then visualized, allowing you to inspect the state at a certain point in time. This can be especially helpful when debugging concurrent code.

• MouseAway
  Visual Studio has windows that pop up just when the mouse hovers over them. As I try to avoid touching the mouse as much as absolutely possible, I made this program that moves the mouse cursor to the lower right corner of the screen where it doesn’t bother anyone. Make a keyboard shortcut from the start menu and you can get the cursor out of the way from the keyboard. Download here: mouseaway.exe
