TED Notepad Aid and Support

Donate to TED Notepad

The easiest way to show your support and interest, and to encourage me continuing with our mission, is to make a donation of your choice. The money raised is used to pay for this site (and to buy software/hardware necessary for the development). This is a freeware, and as such it is not capable to earn living for itself.

Thanks for recent donations (alphabetically): Christian Eibler, David Thomson, Dennis Mooers, Eric Zugerman, Evan Pederson, Ivan Yanachkov, Jordan Hobbs, Martin Tkac, Matthew Dickinson, Mike Welch, Robert Bull, and others who have chosen to remain anonymous.

Note: Have you donated, but your name is not on the list yet? The list is populated mainly on per-request basis. Ask for inclusion by sending an e-mail to notepadjsimlo.sk. I would be glad to add your name.

Spread the Word

TED Notepad is targeted particularly to users with non-trivial demands and tasks: Those that need to quickly extract info from the text, find duplicate lines or sort them, convert case, replace or reverse something non-trivial, and so on.. As such, the amount of true users is growing rather slowly and there is but a few people to recommend this utility further to others who might get interested.

Help spreading the word. Tell your friends about it, if you feel that they could benefit from it as well. Post to forums, blogs and discussions, when the topic is right (but do not spam blindly, please). Post a link to this site in social networks. Bookmark this site to make it popular. Write about it on your blog or place a button/link onto your web-page.

There is no point in advertising on or even spamming places, where people are not interested in software pieces like this. But there are many places where people are actually searching for us and they can not find us there yet.

Criticize a bit

There are plenty of things that could be done better and nicer. This web is one good example. If you think something is not correct, suggest a correction or better wording. If you think the web-design is not right, suggest a better solution or another color perhaps?

Write back

I have received many e-mails over the years: E-mails with thanks, support, encouragement and suggestions. I have read them all and they sure helped to continue with this project even though there is little from it in return. Actually, there is something in return: Knowning that you are there, that you like and use this piece, that encourage me to go forward and do more. I am glad to be able to share this application with you and I am happy to know that you like it.

Become a Tester

As with any other software, the group of testers puts considerable efforts and resources towards testing new releases before they go public. Though we can say we have been quite skilled and lucky with this task, since only few bugs actually made it into public and final releases, this does not mean we are done and fine.

We could use more people, both skilled testers and ordinary users. Current testing versions of the application are self-testing a lot, but we need someone to click around, edit text and launch tools for the self-testing to take place. Once you start a testing version, you are actively testing it without doing anything unusual. When something undesirable happens, you are usually warned and asked to report to us. That's all that's to it. Can you do that for us? Become a tester!

Recent bug reporters and active testers (alphabetically): Jim Harmon, Martin Tkac, Mike Welch, Zlatka Subrova, and others who have chosen to remain anonymous.

Call for Visual C++ 6.0 Professional or Visual Studio 6.0 Professional

Do you have a spare genuine version of either Visual C++ 6.0 Professional or Visual Studio 6.0 Professional? I would like to buy one to continue TED Notepad development. Unfortunatelly, this software version is too old and no longer merchandised by Microsoft. And thus I turn to you for help.

If you can offer me a full genuine retail version of Visual C++ 6.0 Professional or Visual Studio 6.0 Professional with genuine undamaged CD/DVD installation disk and genuine undamaged Product Key sticker, please, contact me and suggest a price. I do not mind, whether the software has been used, as long as the license transfer is made legally.

Please note that you will be shipping to Czech Republic, European Union. The final price (including all shipping, applicable customs and tax charges) matters to me. Also note that the EULA may not forbid transfer of the software license; use of the software in Czech Republic; and use of the software for non-profit and/or commercial purposes.

Thank you in advance for your offers. Consider it as valuable donation to future TED Notepad development.
