Hey folks, I finished up the 1.0 release of my name grabber - Pankwindu Name That Player - and I am letting it go for the measly price of $12. That's a no-brainer even if you don't play at WorldPx! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Thought I'd give this a little bump for readers who aren't already happily enjoying the return of names in hand histories at WPX. We're* up to a very solid version 1.4 and have already survived one WPX client release.

The introductory February price is over but I still believe it's quite a good bargain at $16, especially since I am offering a full refund guarantee if the program "breaks" within 14 days of purchase.

You can download and register at http://pankwindu.com/poker/, and check out the program discussion at the Poker Tracker forum.

*That's the royal "we"... you know... the editorial "we"...

can someone who is using this tell me if it is 100% keylogger or trojanfree? the "must have you exact screenname when you sign up!" bothers me alot, just a nudge from a current user and Ill buy it.

I know you are asking other users, not me, but I'll give my side anyway. The screen name is used strictly for licensing and actually makes it more convenient for you, the user, as explained at the site. The program does absolutely no "phoning home", which you can verify with any outbound firewall program. So even if I wanted to, there is nothing nefarious I can do with your screen name since I don't receive any information from your system.

However, if there is significant resistance to the idea (this is the first I've heard so far), I might be willing to consider other license options. (But keep in mind the popular alternatives would probably be even more troubling. Phone-home activation would negate the above paragraph, and computer-specific registration based on a code generated on your computer and submitted to me would suffer from the theoretical possibility that I could encode your username/password into the generated code.)

Incidentally, the program also avoids writing to the registry or to Windows system folders. There are no problems running it under a non-admin limited user account.

Is there an option for a lifetime liscense? I'd rather pay $50 to not have to worry about updates than to deal with tossing you $20 everytime WPEX updates their table layout.

It's more about the hassle than the cost.

I am not sure where you got the idea that I am charging a fee every time the layout changes - that is not accurate. In fact there has already been one breaking change from WPX that I fixed within 2 days and released as a free upgrade.

I will never re-charge anyone for functionality they already paid for - in this case, tracking the player graphics and allowing you to associate the correct player names to them. If the graphics change, then any fix I do will simply maintain the current level of functionality, I cannot and will not charge for something like that.
