Procrastinator's Best Friend

This is probably a dumb time to post this, but I'ma do it anyway to show Rebellion.

Have you ever wanted to change the creation/modification date of a file? I know I have, so that if someone checked such things they would know:

"Jack created this file a week ago! He totally did not just start working on this assignment a few hours before it was due to be sent to me!"

"The last time Jack modified this file was before the official deadline, so even though I'm getting it after the deadline I can rest assured that he has not been working on it!"

"Jack totally did not start this assignment after the deadline! Nor did he modify it after the deadline! Everything Is Okay!"

These are the things we all wish we could say, so I give my professors the joy of saying them by selflessly altering file information using this brilliant little program:

A Better Finder Attributes

Awkward name, elegant program. There are all kinds of other features too, useful for a variety of non-subterfuge reasons. Enjoy!

Well I'm sure when you wrote this post you were continuously reminded of Bryan's (Twek's) efforts for his e-mailing and editing almost very paper in college. Back in HS when we had to bring in physical copies of our papers the thing to do was to just not show up that day. Famously on the Day the one teachers final papers were due at least 50% of students of his would just not show up, generally with the permission of their parents.

Well it's been a while.

Cheers
