Mathusalem
Mathusalem is complementary to
Time
Machine as it backups automatically one
or more directories of your choice to other
external disks or remote servers in order to
ensure extra safety of your most important data.
It is an alternative to the Backup
application that
comes with .Mac / MobileMe if you need more
control or features:
- It supports a wide range of destinations: local drives, iDisk, WebDAV, AFP, FTP, SFTP or Amazon S3
- It can generate archives in various formats: sparse or compressed .dmg and CPIO or ZIP archives
- It generates fully self-contained backups i.e. data and settings which makes it possible to access them from any machine or even relocate them
- It can restart a download or upload that failed or was cancelled by the user without having to restart the entire backup
- It runs in low-priority mode on your machine so it doesn't hang your CPU or hard drive
- It runs only when necessary (it is managed by launchd like other system services)
- It is fully open-source which means no proprietary file formats (backup data files are plain XML)
- It stores passwords in the Keychain
- It reports detailed information on the backup progress
- The command line tool version can be integrated in existing tool chains or used with launchd
1Password for iPhone
1Password
Here’s
some excellent news for iPhone owners,
1Password
have
decided to release their iPhone version
of the
Mac application absolutely FREE......
Yep thats right, one of the best Mac app’s ever
(In my opinion anyway) is going to be available
FREE hopefully by the end of next week. (25th
July)
Unlike the Mac version of 1Password, the
iPhone/iPod touch application will be constantly
closed and opened throughout the day.
Not only is the device turned off frequently
(i.e. placed in your pocket) but only one
application can run at a time so 1Password will
be constantly closed and opened as you multitask.
Because of this unique usage pattern we did not
want to require a Master Password every time
1Password was opened. Since you will often be
accessing “less important” login details like
Forum logins, Digg accounts, etc, we use an
Access Code to open 1Password.
The Access Code is a 4 digit number that allows
you to quickly open 1Password without entering
your full Master Password. Since the Access Code
is short and only contains digits it can be
entered very quickly, but as a consequence items
protected only by the Access Code are not as
secure.
For items that require a higher level of
security, such as bank accounts, a real password
is needed to keep your data safe and secure.
These types of accounts are used less frequently
so requiring a full password to be typed when
using them will not be a burden.
You can configure each item in 1Password to be
protected by your Master Password. In 1Password
for Mac this is called a Security Level.
Users of 1Password for Mac will want to keep
their iPhone/iPod touch data in sync with their
Mac.
To start the sync process, tap on the Sync icon
to bring up the Sync screen.
The local network will be searched for any
running 1Password applications. If none are found
you will be presented with the Search screen as
1Password continues to search:
To sync with your Mac, start 1Password on your
Mac and then open the iPhone Sync window by
selecting Sync > Sync to iPhone… menu item:

Norrkross Tint
Norrkross Tint
is used to
adjust the color balance of images. Color
adjustments with original color near the pixel
color are applied more, whereas color
adjustments that differ in original color from
the pixel color have little or no effect.
This allows the changing of different colors
separately (eg. make the gray greener but leave
the white and black as they are).
Usage
Click in the image to add
new color adjustments. You can add both colors
that you want to change and colors you want to
keep constant.
Click the color in the adjusted column in the
color adjustment drawer to set it to set the
target color you want.
Pixels with color close to the original color
will be adjusted to the target color. Letting the
target color be the same as the original color
for a color adjustment makes colors like the
original color remain unchanged.
Tint is free to download and use and runs
on Mac OS
X.

iPhoto Buddy
iPhoto Buddy
What is iPhoto Buddy?
iPhoto Buddy
is a Mac OS
X application (Universal) that allows you to
easily create, manage, and switch between
multiple iPhoto Libraries. The advantages of
splitting your One Huge Photo Library into
multiple, smaller ones include improved iPhoto
performance, increased flexibility in
organizing your digital photo collection, and
a consistency with most other Mac applications
that allow their respective data to be stored
in as many documents (in this case,
"Libraries") as you like.
iPhoto Buddy uses a simple,
streamlined interface that was inspired by iPhoto
itself. Anyone that has used iPhoto will
immediately feel right at home using iPhoto
Buddy. It truly is a companion application--a
real buddy!
iPhoto
Buddy will never alter/move/delete your Libraries
or your photo files. It's perfectly
safe!
What
can you do with it?
With iPhoto
Buddy, you can easily manage
an entire list of iPhoto Libraries, enabling
you to quickly and easily open the Library of
your choice for viewing/editing/printing in
iPhoto.
You can easily switch between your multiple
Libraries, and iPhoto Buddy will automatically
quit iPhoto and instantly re-launch it with the
newly selected Library (iPhoto can only have one
Library open at a time).
There is no limit to the number of Libraries, and
they can be located in various locations--even on
external hard disk drives, network volumes, or
encrypted disk images. Each Library can be
assigned its own name that differs from its
folder name in the Finder; each Library can be
assigned a thumbnail image that can help to
remind you of its contents; and each Library can
be password protected for privacy/security.
iPhoto Buddy also displays
various details about your Libraries without
launching iPhoto. Information like each Library's
size and image count as well as a complete
listing of the Albums, Smart Albums, Folders,
Books, Slide Shows, etc. contained
therein. And in keeping with the
enhanced integration of the iApps that Apple
introduced with the original iLife package,
iPhoto Buddy also allows you to open iMovie,
iDVD, and iWeb using any of your iPhoto Libraries
for importing photos into your Movies, DVDs and
websites.
In fact with iPhoto Buddy, any application that
contains a Media Browser for accessing your
iPhoto Library, can used with ANY of your iPhoto
Libraries.
What
are the system requirements?
iPhoto Buddy requires a Macintosh computer
running OS X 10.3.9 or later, and iPhoto 2 or
later. iPhoto Buddy is fully compatible with Mac
OS X 10.5 Leopard, as well as 10.4 Tiger and 10.3
Panther. iPhoto Buddy is fully compatible with
iLife '04, iLife '05, iLife '06, and iLife '08.
How
does it work?
If
you're like me, you prefer to understand exactly
what a new program is doing with the precious
information on your computer. You can relax.
iPhoto Buddy is quite innocuous. Here's what it
does:
- Creates a folder in your Preferences folder (/users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/iPhoto Buddy) in which it stores special alias files and application preferences. Do not move or modify this folder or its contents unless you stop using iPhoto Buddy and remove it from your computer.
- Modifies iPhoto's plist file (/users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist) each time you use iPhoto Buddy to launch iPhoto. The modification is a simple one in which iPhoto Buddy inserts the path to the selected Library's folder into the proper location in iPhoto's plist file. When iPhoto is launched, it reads the plist file and uses the Library specified therein.
- Modifies the plist file (/users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist) used by iMovie/iDVD/iWeb (and Pages, and Keynote, and Screen Saver, too!) to determine the location of your iPhoto Library each time you use iPhoto Buddy to launch iMovie, iDVD, or iWeb.

Flight Gear
Flight Gear
Flight Gear
is a FREE
flight simulator compatible with virtually any
operating system including Windows, Mac and
Linux - with several unique features and
options that may be quite different than
you're used to in a simulation application.
You'll fine a wide variety of aircraft from the
Wright Brothers' first airplane to modern
military jets and navigate using any major brand
joystick or your mouse as a yoke. In addition,
you can download the whole planet or squares off
the website.
You can program your own graphics, create
airports, new aircraft and reprogram flight
controls and response to suit your preferences.
The graphics limited only by your imagination.
The FlightGear website
abounds with
links and tutorials. Easy to use interface
provides your options onscreen so you don't
have to search through menus. As the pilot,
you can control the weather and integrate real
world weather conditions. You can even shadow
yourself in a chase plane that banks with your
own, dodge AI traffic or enjoy multiplayer
action over your network.
Graphics are very close in quality to its
competitor's and the performance is superb,
faithful to the developers' stated intention that
eye candy should not compromise performance.
Therefore FlightGear graphics aren't quite as
glitzy as the competition but the performance
gain more than makes up for it; flights are
smooth with no hesitation and there's even a
landable aircraft carrier off the California
coast.
There are a few minor weaknesses such as ground
handling and less than perfect audio feedback.
The simulator doesn't have collision detection so
you might land just fine on water without
pontoons!
All in all, FlightGear packs in a lot of extras
you'll not find in other simulators and since
development is ongoing there's usually something
new to enhance this one-of-a-kind experience.
Pencil
Pencil
Pascal Naidon and Patrick Corrieri are the
developers of Pencil an
animation/drawing software for
Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. It
lets you create traditional hand-drawn
animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and
vector graphics. Pencil is free and open
source.
Pencil is not
intended to mimick web-oriented vector-based
animation software such as flash. Its main
purpose is to make traditional animation.
Neither does it try to rival commercial
software targetting the professional animation
sector. Pencil is
intended to be a simple program enabling
anyone to make 2D animation.
Pencil can be
downloaded from Les-stooges
Here are some key features of
Pencil:
· Timeline (create,move and delete keys, edit
timeline length)
· Real-time timeline scrubbing and playback with
adjustable fps
· Basic drawing tools (pencil, eraser, color,
width, clear screen)
· Static background layer
· Onion skinning
· Save/Load
· Export to image Sequence
· Export to Movie (Mirror) - 10.4 Only.
|
Limitations: · Drawing area is of a fixed 640x480 size. · Animations must start at frame 0. You'll notice that's the only key you can't move/delete. Frame 0 is always there! · Save/Load *might* have some problems. · Copy/Paste/Undo don't exist (yet?) · Timeline scrubbing ain't proper when scrubbing backwards(again, yet?) · Various other limitations. |

Delicious Library 2
Delicious Library 2
is my latest
Mac purchace.
First thing first... What is Delicious Library
2?
Well it’s a application that lets you catalogue
all your book’s, dvd’s, gadget’s etc.
In fact you can use Delicious Library 2
to keep tabs
on anything you want, and if it has a barcode
it’s even easier as Delicious Library 2 will
use your iSight camera to scan the barcode and
search the web for all the information about
you dvd....
You can create smart shelves, to auto add stuff
by selecting certain criteria, much like smart
folders in Mail.
I would recommend you download the trial version
and give it a go, you are however limited to 25
items in your library until you purchase the full
version at $40.
It’s just so easy to enter all your stuff into.
After a few minutes trying to figure out the best
way to hold my DVD’s so
Delicious Library 2
could use my
iSight camera to scan the barcodes on my DVD
case I was flying through my whole collection,
and then onto my book’s........
It also has some very nice options for publishing
your library online..
Check out my library published to .Mac
HERE
Just one of the options available for publishing
your library to the web...
Rapidweaver 4
So RapidWeaver 4 is out today........
Yes I’ve wasted no time in upgrading from 3.6 and started to play about with it already.
RapidWeaver has been my prefered web design tool ever since moving over to the Mac from PC’s.
Having my own site wasn’t even something I had considered before moving over to the Mac, it just isnt a common thing to do among PC users I think.
Where’as all Mac users get free website design software included with their new Mac, iWeb.
While iWeb is very good I prefer RapidWeaver as it’s a much more powerful tool, especially once you add a few of the extras available from Yourhead.
If you have a Mac and are interested in creating your own site RapidWeaver 4, for users of Leopard or version 3.6 for Tiger users is well worth a try.......
