Welcome to Glenn’s Eclectic Freeware.

This is the home of Desktop Info and Desktop Calendar.

I have chosen to be ‘selective’ so if you’ve come looking for the other projects that used to live here, you’re outa luck. They are way too old and irrelevant and I prefer to quietly bury them. If you look hard enough, you’ll find them around the traps.

I am also the current keeper of Snappy Driver Installer Origin, a free and open source Windows driver installation and update tool.

By the way, that photo is taken by me just outside my home town. You can see my house on the hill in the distance.

• New Host 10 November 2018- I’m changing over to a new host this weekend so if you notice oddness with the web site or it goes off the air for a while or you posted in the forum and it mysteriously disappeared, that’s most likely the cause. It should be fine within 24 hours.
