The coolest little app you probably don't know about!

About: Text substitution app Texter saves you countless keystrokes by replacing abbreviations with commonly used phrases you define. Unlike software-specific text replacement features, Texter runs in the Windows system tray and works in any application you're typing in. Texter can also set return-to markers for your cursor and insert clipboard contents into your replacement text, in addition to more advanced keyboard macros.

I've almost completed the 7-Zip Portable update which required changes to the launcher, installer... pretty much everything... as the last time it was updated was before we even began using PortableApps.com Installers (and it required a quick 30 lines to remove the files that get removed from the last version to ensure in-place upgrades). I've got about 30 minutes of work on it (mainly final testing across OSes, packaging, releasing and announcing), but I'm fading too quickly to complete it tonight. I'll have it up tomorrow as a release, though.

Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions, the most important being spawning.
