Together® ControlCenter™ 6.0 CD Autorun Program
Reviewers had to figure out which installation archive they needed and where it was on the CD, where to install a license file in an unfamiliar installaion, and manually locate the doc folders. Needless to say, the organization got bashed for this in print! A CD autorun application that would guide reviewers to the CD content, launch the correct installer, and auto-install the license file was a trivial programming problem, but we didn't have development resources available for it. I spent some weekend time with Delphi and Photoshop and created this application and it's UI. I also created an animated demo to explain the app to Marketing.
Bot-O-Flage Anti-SPAM JavaScript Generator Utility
One thing led to another and eventually I did a slicker UI for the program and wrote a Help file and integrated it into the Delphi application (and now have a better sample of my ability to do that!)

The situation that led to the creation of this program was one of those you can run into in a fast-paced environment where
R&D and Marketing are on two different continents. Unbeknownst to us in R&D, the CD-ROM provided to media reviewers
merely launched a crude HTML file with some doc on product and license installation, and an unlinked listing of the
documentation files provided on the CD. 
The Delphi application was a little sideline project I did for some friends who were trying to come up with some
of doing e-mail links on their website without attracting spammer bots to them, but who didn't know anything about
JavaScript. I just took a couple of simple JavaScripts I already knew about, combined their behaviours into a
single script, and wrote a little Wizard in Delphi to help someone with minimal Web skills to deploy the script on
their site.
