My name is

David Cumps

Freelance software engineer

A passionate geek, always curious, always learning.

Writing a PowerShell Cmdlet in C# that works stand-alone and in a pipeline, with a Visual Studio setup that installs and debugs it on every run.

A small Outlook add-in that shows the internal ID of any selected item, which I needed to link to my own contact from Outlook Today.

Turning Outlook Today into a custom HTML page with your calendar, tasks, mail counts and quick links, set through one registry key.

Photoshop and Word offer many ways to do the same thing. Someone thought that was bad; here is why I think it's a good thing.

My new DVD recorder came with GUIDE+, a free TV guide that keeps itself up to date and records a program with one button.

The blog went down today, and coming back up was worse: blank wiki pages and a WordPress that thought it wasn't installed.

A tongue-in-cheek polytheist religion for IT people, with gods of software, hardware, bugs and, above all, electricity.

A small tool built with TagLib#, LAME and FLAC that syncs my lossless FLAC music archive to my iPod.

reTune lives on your iPod and lets you manage its music through Windows Explorer, no iTunes needed.
