I have a pretty buggy command line utility to play quicktime files. This is most useful for playing mp3-s. Video gets splatted ontop of everything with no window made. It's embarrassingly buggy, I'd post the source, but it's just too baaaaad.
Countdowner is a program which calulates the seconds difference between
any date and time and Right Now. It displays this in Big Freindly Numbers
on your screen for your instand edification. Useful for counting down towards
the end of school (it's original task), counting up from your birthday
(I'm gonna be 600,000,000 seconds old soon!), and many many more uses.
