Software — I build things

Trackpad Magic - A small utility that I wrote to solve an issue with my laptop trackpad and my palms. Many thanks to the handful of people that have emailed me about this program and have helped me to get it working on their systems!

Latest Update - 5/22/2010: Removed Apple specific code and made the program accessible to all laptops. Now asks you, the user, to tell it which External USB mouse you have. Still supports 32-bit and 64-bit flavors of Windows.
