ENCRYPTED WEBSITE - SECURED BY LET'S ENCRYPT

Before being transmitted over the Internet, all communication between your web browser and the The Quiet Program, LLC website

https://www.thequietprogram.com

is encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS) asymmetric cryptography.

TLS and its predecessor Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) are commonly referred to with the generic, legacy term "SSL". The actual Secure Sockets Layer protocol is no longer used by most web sites.

Encrypted communications require a Digital Certificate that is issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Before issuing a certificate, the CA verifies the identity of the company who is to receive the certificate. The Digital Certificate for The Quiet Program, LLC is provided by Let's Encrypt which is the world's largest security certificate provider.

To verify that the Digital Certificate for The Quiet Program, LLC is genuine, you can click the padlock icon in your browser's address bar. This will pop up a window with a lot of information about the Digital Certificate, Let's Encrypt, connection encryption, and so forth.

NOTE:

If you are running an antivirus program, a secondary Digital Certificate may have been installed by your antivirus software on your computer. If so, this Digital Certificate is in addition to the one used by us on our website! In this case, clicking on the padlock icon may show your antivirus program's Digital Certificate rather than the one issued to The Quiet Program, LLC.

The reason your antivirus program did this was so any downloads can be decrypted and scanned by the antivirus program before the downloads are saved to your computer. Otherwise, the antivirus program must wait until the download completes and then do its scan. If you add our website to your virus scanner's white list (or disable your antivirus program's "HTTPS scanning" feature) then you will see the normal Digital Certificate for our website.

About The Quiet Program

A Curriculum Vitae (Of Sorts)

At The Quiet Program, LLC, we have a true smörgåsbord of experience in the fields of business administration, radio television and film, music and sound production/recording, manufacturing, retailing and of course software design and development.

Our journey started back in the 1980s when we wrote financial analysis software for a large manufacturer of oilfield equipment in Houston, Texas. As time marched on, we wrote the same sort of financial software for a large medical center in northwest Houston as well as providing system support for the hospital's health information system (HIS).

From there we moved on to developing database management software that helps run the data centers for some of the largest corporations on the planet -- the fields here are retailing, government, and industry in general.

So how does all that get to The Quiet Program, LLC of today?

Where We Are Today

Well, our interest in writing and film production led us down a rabbit hole of discovery. We came upon some excellent (as well as some iffy) hardware and software used to create Indie films as well as record wild audio tracks. Regarding character development, we found some overly simplistic software and then some grotesquely complex software.

And then there is the eye popping cost for the some of this software!

Surely the working playwright, screenwriter, novelist, or sound designer could use better tools!

Ah yes! An Inspiration

You may be intrigued by the movie magic that turns screenplays into film. Perhaps it is the craft of the novelist wending their way through plot development that fascinates you. Maybe it is the aura of the theater and the stageplay that draws you to being a playwright.

However you got to the point where you simply must create, the last thing you want is to be slowed down battling your software!

Who wants to lose that magic moment, that click of inspiration, just because your software rears its pedantic head at the worst possible moment?

Whether you're working on the first draft or the final draft of the next great novel, teleplay, stageplay, or just a storyboard you can always be hit with writer's block. But "software block" is just not acceptable!

So we set out to create a bag of truly useful software tools.

Some of the tools we have in mind are ready to go. We encourage you to peruse the website sections Support / Help / User Manuals and the Support / Help / Video Tours and Tutorials for a sampling of these.

Other tools are still in development. These will be tools for writers, sound designers, and for folks who just want to organize their vast collection of digital whatnots.

The journey continues...

You are invited to join us -- wherever it may lead!

From worried to inspired!

The Character

The Character is the muse that helps you develop personae that:

Will be as real to you as they will be to your readers,
Will be sophisticated and not some simplistic stick figure characters lacking all humanity,
Will not become some overly detailed Freudian masterpiece that only a psychoanalyst could enjoy.

But there is more! The Character:

Will allow you to explore almost without limit any facet of a character's personality that you think is pertinent to your story.
Will even allow you to create a basic sketch for your character's physical appearance!
Permit you to knock out a believable character in a matter of minutes. But if you want, you can spend hours delving into all aspects of appearance, body language, and psychological profile including a built in manual of mental disorders!
Build a database for the characters you create.
Print off a character's biography as a PDF file, an HTML file, or plain text file.

So be it hero, villain, sidekick, mentor, mere passerby, or anything else, The Character allows you to explore to any depth you wish to go.

The Name

With The Name you can generate a unique character name (or as many names as you like) that will suit the background of the character you are creating.

You can generate common names, rare names, ethnic names, male/female names, or any combination you desire. You can generate a handful of names or a truckload of names. It is all up to you! There are over 250,000 first and last names available (all of which are real names -- no made up stuff here)!

But why stop there? You can also use The Name to search for odd things like last names that rhyme with "each". Or maybe you are curious about the name "Dibbles" -- The Name can tell you a few tidbits about this, too.
