My name is Kevin Krkosska. The downloads on fiveanddime.net were created by me in the late 1990's, ten years ago, with Visual Basic 4. There has been only very minor cosmetic changes since then.
One or two years ago, I started getting word that various anti-virus applications were starting to flag kclock. On the download page, I added an explanation and pointed to more information. I also posted a link to SiteAdvisor so everyone would know it was safe.
This is a completely harmless 10 YEAR OLD VB4 APPLICATION and I take offense at the 'malware' label. My site has NEVER had malware of any kind, nor will it ever.
So, anyway...I've bowed down before our corporate overlords, dusted off the old setup apps, and recompiled my pathetic little kclock without the offending code. I'll probably now have to dig out VB itself and re-edit everything. Sigh.
Thank you, McAfee. Six hours of my time and counting.
You're probably wondering, if you've read this far, why anyone would want another clock in the first place. Pull up a chair.
It all started in the Roaring 90's. My, my...what a time. Foosball tables as far as the eye could see. We had 56k modems and we LIKED it that way. You kids don't understand...
So I was a budding webmaster. Dabbled in Windows, but Linux soon became my love. I needed tools. Not your Father's tools, either. Geek tools.
These are only a few of my favs. All are accessible from the kclock app with a right or left click.
One: a screen ruler. I was building pages and needed to see what others would see.
Two: an MD5 sum checker for Windows to verify sigs on .tar.gz files ("tarballs").
Three: an app launcher that I could dynamically add links to
Four: a font viewer; dime a dozen, I know, but I love mine
So many more, TextViewer for looking at folders full of text files, a stay-on-top notepad, wallpaper slideshow...the list goes on, all packed into a small and SAFE little clock.
Signed, Brent Kevin Krkosska
