Projects @ ULANOFF.com
There are probably two main reasons for doing something: fun (or enjoyment) and the compensation (yeah, I mean money).
When they come together it makes a great opportunity to express yourself in a wide spectrum of everyday life's aspects.
I chose application programming as one of the ways to express myself. :)
Below is just a small list of projects I had happiness to be working on.

Pocket PC Projects
Geocache Hint Decoder
If you use your Pocket PC to store the descriptions for your next geocache adventures, then you will want this application to quickly be able to decode the hints that are given within the descriptions and log entries.
But use of this program is not limited to geocaching - you can find it some other areas of application like encrypting your e-mail messages or e-mail address in the web-boards to prevent web-spiders from sending you junk mail. Just use your imagination! :)
Customer review:
4 stars out of 5. What a time saver
A reviewer from Michigan, 2003-07-21 14:27:41
"This program is a real help in decoding those cache hints. Simple and straightforward to use. Best of all it's free!"

Miscellaneous/Productivity Tools
MS InternetExplorer: QuickSearch
QuickSearch lets you use your Address Bar to perform quick Web searches.
Just type the shortcut keys, followed by a space, followed by the text you want to search for.
A Windows Registry file (.reg) will add the following functionality to MSIE's QuickSearch-ability.
Commands:
msdno {object} - look up DHTML Object's reference on MSDN (ex: msdno div)

[download] [note: for MSIE 5 and up on Windows 2000/XP only, 1) Select "Open" in download window and then 2) Confirm adding QuickSearch to your browser by clicking "Yes", 3) Close and reopen your browser for new changes to take effect. Enjoy!]

HomeSite 5: Tag AutoComplete
HomeSite has a very handy feature - it can automatically insert closing tag
for any standard HTML tag. Ex: you type <body>,
HomeSite replies with </body>. Things go worse
when you do custom HTML/XML tags, like <myCoolTag></myCoolTag> or <xml:myTag></xml:myTag>.
This VTOM JS (Visual Tools Object Model) script will close any standard
or non-standard HTML/XML tags with just one key-press.
