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


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:

Leech Download Manager

[Full Free Show] Peter Maurer is a name familiar to many Mac users, as the original creator of Textpander (re-launched as TextExpander by Smile on my Mac) as well as many other excellent Mac utilities we've touched on in previous episodes of ScreenCastsOnline (ServiceScrubber and Displaperture to name but a few!)

Peter has now turned his considerable talents to develop a brand new lightweight download manager - Leech

Leech was designed to be small yet powerful, with all the features you need to efficiently and quickly download files using full integration with the top OS X browsers - Safari, Camino, OmniWeb and FireFox (using the Flashgot plugin for FireFox).

With a simple yet elegant user interface, Leech was built from the ground up to be a great example of an OS X application.

In this weeks show, I take you through:

• Leech Features
• Installation and Configuration
• Using Leech to download files
• Creating and Using Leech Rules

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

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.

Apple 3G iPhone

O2 UK have let slip the pricing for the Pay & Go iPhone.

On their website for a couple of hours only, were the price of the new 3G Pay & Go iPhone along with information on data charges.

The starting price will be £299 for the 8GB and £359 for the 16GB model.

The purchase cost will include 6 months free Data usage and free access to their WiFi providers The Cloud and BT Openzone.

After the initial 6 months you are able to continue using data at a cost of £10 per month. Alternatively anyone not tacking out the offer of £10 per month unlimited data could be facing a charge of £3 to £6 per Megabyte.

This offer will be available until December 31st....


Prices for Talk & Text Pay & Go tariffs are quite reasonable...






Unless Apple cut the price of the iPod Touch I would say it’s definitely worth paying an extra £50 to upgrade to a iphone and benefit from the free 6 months of data.
