Screen Shot utility

I wrote this small ScreenShot utility because I couldn't find one that performed as I desired.
I needed to be able to define a portion of the screen and a hotkey. The utility would sit in the background and every time the hotkey was pressed it saved a image in a predetermined folder with that portion of the screen.

This small program does exactly that.
It works on Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 in single monitor configuration. I did not tested it on any other platform but I suspect it might work on other configurations too.

This open source project helped a lot with the development of this utility.

Aftershock - an interesting book

Aftershock by Robert Bernard Reich
Download

I'm not an expert by any means but this book seems to tackle the subject of American Economy in a way that any person could understand, even without formal training in the field of economy.
A must read for anyone interested in the economic reality today, not only America's economy.
