This site and all the software are the work of one person: Simon Haynes, a programmer with over 30 years experience on projects large and small. Every program was written for my own use, then released for everyone to use and enjoy.
Apart from FCharts Pro, all my software is free to download and use, although you're encouraged to register if you can afford it.
Antibrowser
When you launch your browser for a 'quick session', AntiBrowser will run instead. It will display a random 12 digit code, and you have to type the code and click Run Browser to get to the life-sucking time-wasting internet. If you decide it wasn't that important after all, just click the Forget It button.
BookDB
Book catalogue software. Enter all your books with author, category, publisher etc and print them out in a variety of formats. Also includes library features - borrowers, multiple copies of the same book, loans, etc.
FCharts Pro
FCharts PRO is a fast, reliable program which delivers stock charting and screening at a very attractive price. Designed as a trader's toolbox, not a black box or grey box solution.
Free 7 day trial available.
There's also a completely free version with fewer features:

You can use yEdit2 to open and edit RTF files, and it's a very small, compact program which means it loads lightning-quick. This makes it a handy replacement for Wordpad.
