Yoga for Migraines

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 16 May 2012

This reminds me of a famous book when I was young, André van Lysebeth (the spelling may be different, he was a Belgian), with which I practised yoga for some time. This one refers to breathing only, not a bad thing to learn how to breathe. I mean it.

Cyrillic Linguist

Cattus Thraex commented on 22 Mar 2012

I have noticed that, within 24 hours or so, there are over 120 downloads and no comment, positive or negative. I would be grateful if you drop a comment, with possible problems you encounter.
There is a small bug after triggering dead key option-A, then pressing option-shift-X, I will correct this after getting some other reactions.
Thanks.

US Academic Keyboard Layout

Cattus Thraex commented on 21 Mar 2012

I created US Academic, now being added ‘U6’, meaning it has been updated to Unicode 6.x version, for those needing one keylayout for their linguistic works, e.g. Indo-European, Semitic or Altaic linguistics, dialectal transcriptions and any similar linguistic needs.

Audacity

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 14 Mar 2012

One of the ‘classic’ Mac OS applications, simple, good, free. Congratulations to its author and a long life.

Lotus Symphony

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 02 Mar 2012

After several days of test (I received the IBM info letter last week), I find IBM Lotus Symphony a good work, quite fast, very mac-like style. Seems to better preserve original formatting of .doc and .docx files, imported Nisus rtf files very well, including headers and footers.
The problem with this build, as well as the already numerous OO, LibreO, NeoO variants is that we already have TOO MANY offices for mac, to add here iWork and, of course, MS Office for mac. This may prove confusing.
I understand Lotus symphony will merge with OO 4. This sounds good, if OO 4 takes this interface, and improves it, then make a jump in speed, then this may be indeed a great step forward.

DoubleCommand

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 29 Oct 2011

Excellent little utility. I need Option/alt key on the right, instead of the Enter key on some older macs, even some intels had this key. It allows a most comfortable customization.
Note to those who say they cannot activate it: you must go to the upper right side of the utility, activate it for the whole system or the logged in user, otherwise it does not work, but this is clear enough when you look at the interface.

SimplyBurns

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 28 Oct 2011

A little bit of software gem, congratulations to its creator.

Shades

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 12 Oct 2011

Yes, a very useful application as it applies to the external monitors, such a setting is mainly useful for them, not for the internal monitor.

FountainPen

Cattus Thraex reviewed on 12 Oct 2011

Absolutely delighting. I do not know whether I shall write my next novel using it, but delighting.

[Version 0.7.3]

Brightness Control

Cattus Thraex commented on 12 Oct 2011

Such an application is most useful mainly (and, in fact, only) for the external monitor as the internal monitor has its Apple-blessed settings. Unfortunately, this app does not have exactly this most needed feature. For my MB internal monitor it is entirely useless. This is an incentive for its creator.
No star for the time being, will keep an eye on future releases.

Romanian Keyboard Layouts

Cattus Thraex had trouble on 21 Oct 2011

These keylayouts were created by me, and are fully functional. Note that there are broken links. University of Bucharest site has been updated, and you find my English softwre resources page at
http://www.unibuc.ro/e/prof/paliga_v_s/soft-reso/
and the link to the download is

Apple iTunes

Cattus Thraex had trouble on 16 Dec 2010

Yes, correct, some had problems when installing via S.U. I assume there is bug in the small installer script, which should update from 10.1 to 10.1.1, the installer script interpreted (still interprets?) version 10 as identical to 10.1, and put the simple update there (35 MB). The problem is solvable via the full dmg update, at 95 MB.
