Welcome to my homepage


My actual name is Robert Vašíček (pronunciated Washeeczech), but you need a Central European character set to see it correctly. I live in Bratislava, Slovakia, Central Europe. My favourite game is bridge.

An extremly small, very fast and easy to use media cataloging tool. You can use it to index files stored on removable media (CD's, DVD's or even diskettes), hard disks or net drives, and create searchable catalogs that can be used without having access to original media. Searching capabilities are based on file name, date and size. Additional features include filtering options, search duplicates or singles, customizable date format, etc. Found files can be opened (executed) or deleted directly, if they are present. Drag&drop support. Directory trees, MP3 album/song lists can be printed, disk space usage can be investigated. Single file executable, no install needed.
Version 2.33, 65 kB, for XP(SP3), Vista(SP2), Win7 and above.

Cross-platform python implementation Cathy disk catalog tool. Mainly focussed on providing osx and linux support, since the original already works for Windows. Mainly intended for simple cli search of existing .caf files and also automatic scanning of (backup) disks. It works for python 2 and 3. Browser GUI based on Flask added
Thank you, Vinnie and Jerome.

Some user opinions :-)

I'm sorry, but the translations remain at version 2.20.4, because it would cost me too much time to upgrade them according to the current english version. For the same reason I support no more translations. (Cathy wasn't designed as multilanguage application.)

Zobáčik
(download - 32.26kb)


(A small program to make e-mail indentation and to remove diacritical marks from czech, slovak, hungarian and polish texts. Some additional functionality since the version 1.8 - clipboard grab, url extraction, string replace etc.)
Trojúčelový program - zalamuje text a pridáva zobáčiky pre tých, ktorých poštový program to neumožňuje; odstraňuje diakritiku v textoch, ktoré sú nakopírované do clipboardu; 'prepisuje' znaky s diakritikou do dvojznakových kombinácií - napr. š ako s~, á ako a' a podobne; to všetko pre české, slovenské, maďarské a poľské texty. Neinštaluje sa, iba sa spustí. Usadí sa v trayi - na dvojklik prevedie default opciu, na klik pravým tlačítkom myši ponúkne menu. Činnosti je možné spustiť z ľubovoľnej aplikácie horúcimi klávesmi. Verzia 1.8 s rôznorodou doplnkovou funkcionalitou, ako som ju práve potreboval (automatické odchytávanie textov z clipboardu do súboru, extrakcia url, zámena sady textov za iné v akuálnom clipboarde, vytvorenie 1 riadku z viacerých,atď.).
Verzia 1.8.4, veľkosť 32kB.
