Apple OS X Lion

Brock Samson commented on 10 May 2012

Big ole YAAYY for fixing the idiotic resume behavior.

[Version 10.7.4]

VZTextR

Dead link.

Apple Safari

Brock Samson reviewed on 28 Jan 2011

I've given up on this browser - this is the only piece of software (WebKitPlugInHost and Flash, specifically) that panics my machine on a regular basis. In fact, Safari/WebKitPluginHost has panicked my machine more in the last 6 months than anything else, on any of my macs, in the last 11 years... and I'm talking Gray Screen Of WTF here. Even a complete erase and clean reinstall of OS X didn't solve the issue.

[Version 5.0.3]

mlDonkey

Meant to say:

cd (mldonkey directory)

[Version 3.0]

mlDonkey

Brock Samson commented on 25 Feb 2010

The download link above is for the Intel version.
Go to SourceForge for the PPC versions.
Be aware that the latest builds do not support 10.4.
The latest version I could get to run was 2.9.0

1. Uncompress the archive.

2. In Terminal, issue the following commands:
cd
./mlnet &

3. Open your browser and point it to:
http://127.0.0.1:4080

That's it. In theory.

FLV Spider

Brock Samson commented on 09 Feb 2010

Buried inside the RealPlayer app package is a program called RealPlayer Downloader, which does this (RealPlayer is free), albeit without a preview.

I just pulled that program out and trashed the rest of it.

[Version 1.1]

Jing

Anyone know of a way to capture system audio (not from the mic) at the same time so that you end up with a video with sound?

[Version 2.1.17074]

Smultron

brock samson reviewed on 10 Sep 2008

Used to be my main editor until I started having to open large files on a network share - very slow and painful. TextWrangler ended up being more than twice as fast at opening the same file (by "opening" I mean bringing up the file and having the ability to scroll through all of the text without hanging).

[Version 3.5]

I'll ditch the Chicken as soon as copy/paste works.

MacFusion

brock samson commented on 05 Aug 2008

No more automatic mounting?

[Version 2.0.3]

atMonitor

Brock Samson had trouble on 06 Sep 2011

GPU temp remains at 0 always. I do get a reading for GPU usage, however. Interestingly, when I first launch atMonitor I do see a GPU temp reading but it goes back down to 0 immediately and stays there.

iStat does display GPU temp correctly, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in atMonitor.

Anyone else see this behavior?

SafariStand

brock samson had trouble on 09 Apr 2009

Safari (3.2.1) won't load Flash correctly with SafariStand installed.
Videos display "Plugin - click to load." even with "Load plug-in Manually" and "Site Alteration" unchecked. This problem started after installing, and then subsequently uninstalling Safari 4 beta.

[Version 4.0L166]

SafariStand version L162 does not exhibit this issue.

LiteIcon

brock samson had trouble on 26 Nov 2007

I wasn't able to see changes to any of the dock icons until I deleted the iconcache. You can find it like so:

sudo find /private/var -name *iconcache*

That didn't work for me (for the dock icons).

Home Zone

brock samson had trouble on 04 May 2007

Keeps "forgetting" the shell script I've specified to run for one of my zones (i.e., it's no longer visible in the configuration window after I've changed to a different zone and back again). Tried deleting PersistentStore.xml, tried opening up the permissions on the script, tried recreating the script - no dice.

[Version 1.0b8]

Mirror

I only get a blank (transparent) window... PhotoBoth works fine. If there's another process using the webcam I have no idea what it is.
