A custom program is fully customized software based on the specific requirements of your business. For example, if you need custom programming that meets various business demands such as a seamless shopping cart integration into your Web site or a Customer Relations Management (CRM) system to help you manage interactions with your customers, then eSource Development's custom programming software services may be the answer for you.

The key to successful custom programming is project definition. The project software definition defines such things as your customer base and demographics, operational business needs, computer hardware, image requirements and revenue-generating opportunities. It's a consultative process, which combines your business knowledge with our custom programming expertise to provide you with a proper business solution.

eSource Development has announced that they will be coming out with 2 brand new software titles this month. One is built on our popular eMail Scraper™, the other is a full featured website walker.

Craigslist Companion™ will feature some of the same email scraping capabilities of eMail Scraper, as well as a watcher program that runs in the background and searches for new listings based on your geographic selections and search criteria.'

Look for our BETA version out next week.

The second program is eSource WebWalker™. It is a full featured website crawler that allows you to specify a URL and have all of the codes, sitemaps, URL’s, and complete file breakdown within seconds. The results can then be exported to XML or HTML. eSource WebWalker™ will also feature an SEO tool that will let you see the top number of Google search results based on the keywords you enter. You can then see on the results page the exact location, count, and type of keywords used that makes them get top Google Rankings.

Look for BETA versions of both software to be available next week.

Well, it took a little pushing for Al to give his blessing, but Dr. Torgo’s PC System Inventory tool was finally released today! This tool is great for PC Technicians and IT Departments that need quick access to detailed system information to assist in troubleshooting, software inventory, and software licensing.

Dr. Torgo's PC System Inventory offers a full range of system query options and powerful reporting tools. This software quickly generates reports on several dozen hives of system information including disks, CPU, memory, motherboard, users, ports, services, software, and MORE.

Dr. Torgo's PC System Inventory is a detailed query tool that allows users to get information about their systems like never before. The depth of the search option trees is amazing, and the detailed listing of installed software is perfect for tracking your software license compliance. This software is so detailed, it's nearly impossible to list all of the query trees and options. High level tabs include:

It also offers an export feature that allows you to save your inventory results to a variety of formats including HTML, CSV, Plain Text, or TAB delimited. Click HERE to see a sample report

Don't pay hundreds of dollars for those "one-click" PC troubleshooters that give vague information on only the simplest of problems. Let Dr. Torgo's PC System Inventory show you information so detailed that researching things like driver version, software revisions, and BIOS revisions are a snap! We now offer a 3 day trial version which lets you try before you buy!

NOTE: Torgo is a fictional character in the movie Manos: The Hands of Fate, played by John Reynolds. The quaver-voiced, maladroit satyr servant of "The Master", Torgo is charged with looking after the lodge while the Master is away. Torgo rose to pop culture notability following the Mystery Science Theater 3000 airing of Manos on January 30, 1993, following which he was featured on the television series as a recurring character. Now, the character is immortalized in eSource Development software.

A few years ago, eSource Development created a software pack that contained popular free virus and spyware programs, but also included a neat little system inventory program written in house. Since our service center closed, we stopped supporting or updating the starter pack program and let it fall into the ‘abandonware’ category.

Well, we decided to pull it out of the time capsule and give it a new face for Windows Vista and Windows7. The new Dr. Torgo’s System Inventory program will give comprehensive and in depth system information. It is an advanced System Information tool that gathers detailed information about your system properties and settings and displays it in an extremely comprehensible manner.

Dr. Torgo’s System Inventory can create a report file (CSV, HTML, TXT or XML), and is able to run in batch mode (for Computer Software and Hardware Inventory, Asset Inventory Tracking, Audit Software Licenses, Software License Compliance).

Look for it soon. The program will sell for $49, but you can get an early bird coupon worth $20 off. That means you get Dr. Torgo’s System Inventory for only $29. Now that’s something the Master would approve of (it’s a reference to the movie from which Torgo originated).

There are a lot of sites and links out there that claim to give you FREE software, only to find that the site or page really meant that the download is free, you still have to pay for a key or something to unlock and use the software. Want proof? Here’s a Google search on “free game software” with the results:

Notice how the links taunt you with “FREE” but are then followed by “download?”

If you click on those links, you’ll find that they will list software that is free to download, but you’ll quickly notice a price column indicating how much it cost to actually use the product, not just download it.

Download.com and brothersoft have made tons of money getting people to their site this way. But those customers, once screwed, learn the lesson and seldom return.

Is there a better way to do it?

As Sarah Palin would say, “You Betcha!” Take Jing, for example. It is by far and away the best video capture, screen capture, and narration software for home users out there… and it’s actually FREE! Now, the free version has some limitations and a PRO version is available, but for the average home user, this program is a must have! It sure beats Windows Snipping Tool. It allows you to place arrows, text, highlights, and boxes on your screen capture and save it to any format. In fact, I did the screen capture for this article using the product.

There is a 5 minute limit on video, but that’s more than enough for someone to start the recorder, show something on their screen with a little narration, and send it to friends or family. You can narrate and animate slide shows or webcam screens.

The reason it’s free? It’s from the same people who make Camtasia Studio, the professional video capture and screen recording software. It does cost money, but at $299 it’s still a bargain. Our training videos and presentations were all done with Camtasia Studio, and it even comes with a 30 day trial. I’m not providing links to it here since I don’t want any of our subscribers to think we are a reseller or make money off of pushing the product. I will, however, provide a link for the free, non reseller Jing here.
