.Net 2.0 composite control used as a classic record navigation object with tape machine style buttons. Adjustable multi-speed fast scrolling abilities in both directions (desktop version only). Useful for developers who wish to have a simple, easy to implement, but elegant navigation control for collections
too large for other controls. Two versions available, one for desktop applications and the other for AJAX Web applications. Web version demonstrated through the Web version of SNL Database listed below.
SNL Database Version 2.84 (updated 4/20/2024)
Collection of elegant and robust database entry forms with a user interface that is easier to work with and less prone to human error. The sample data represents an anthology of the entire possible collection of material from the show Saturday Night Live. Multi-threaded interface, user editable data
(e.g. add, delete, modify), database reporting, multi-aspect ratio preview images, fast scrolling navigation, 3 tier design and data validation. Schema obtained programatically. Database updated quarterly. Interface can be modified with minor programming effort in order to work with most any MS Access/SQL
database that incorporates parent/child table relationships. Click on the "View Web" link to see the simplified Web version of the desktop application and usage of WebNavControlX. Data edits allowed. Preview scaled down versions of high definition 1080i video & 5.1 audio from the most current seasons. Based on the premise
that "We watch SNL so you don't have to". It has been stated that 90% of the show is not worth watching, but consider that it has been on for more than 45 years. That is more than 100 hours of good entertainment over the lifespan of the show assuming each show contains about 7 minutes worth of legitimate
material.

Yahtzee Version 1.5.0.0 updated 8/8/2013
Front end WPF application for a neural network engine. Unlike many game engines that are based on pure number crunching algorithms, this one's decisions are based on previous learned experiences along with a basic understanding on how the game is played. By observing the outcomes of its decisions and
adjusting weighted criteria it is able to obtain a better average score over time. Human intuition works in this fashion.
