RedQuits

Jetfiredx reviewed on 16 Sep 2011

Seems to work fine on my 2011 MBP with 10.7.1. Get's the job done with little fuss and hasn't failed to work or crash yet.

I plan on installing it on my wife's system since she tends to leave many apps open all the time when she doesn't need to.

One suggestion (and possible bug): On my system the app's preferences window opens every time the program launches after a reboot. Annoying if you are rebooting often as I was today troubleshooting a pen tablet driver issue.

And I agree with others that the icon is ... not great, but isn't in the dock on my setup so I don't mind too much.

Kerbal Space Program

Jetfiredx reviewed on 12 Sep 2011

This is shaping up to be a fun game. I would have spent hours playing this if it was around when I was a kid.

It didn't take long to go through the short tutorials, build and test up to my 7th version of a multi-stage rocket before I had the Kerbals several thousand kilometers up on a mission that looks like it may go on for days.

Suggestions:
Fast forward time control - Sitting and watching a capsule drift silently in open space is cool for the first 30 seconds or so but gets boring really quick.

Cameras that show the view of the capsule from the last stage of the rocket jettisoned and allow panning around it as it falls.

I look forward to future releases to see how KSP comes along.

QCDesktop

JetFireDX had trouble on 20 Jul 2007

Runs fine here. Original MacBook 2.0 Core Duo. 10.4.10 and all manner or system mods and haxies running. One problem though... it doesn't seem to make use of the Mouse patch in Quartz Composer. Makes it difficult to make an interactive desktop background. Any chance for a fix? I would like to do more than RSS feeds and moving images.

Parallels Desktop

JetFireDX had trouble on 08 Jun 2007

Running Windows XP Pro from my Bootcamp drive. After installing the new version Windows now complains that I have to re-register with Microsoft because my hardware has changed "significantly". XP wouldn't re-activate over the internet so I get to make another lovely phone call to their help line to explain that no, I don't have my copy installed on more than one system and that before getting my Mac, I regularly changed hardware and had to keep activating because of their stupid scheme... Not Parallels fault I know, just FYI that you might have to do the same. 3D seemed to be running well when I found that it was not enabled by default and turned it on.

Do Something When

JetFireDX had trouble on 18 Oct 2006

Just wiped my system and started over after trouble with the 10.4.8 update and it appears that the link is broken. Any mirrors?

MenuMeters

JetFireDX had trouble on 08 Sep 2006

I have been running MenuMeters for a long time now and recently started using FileVault on my MacBook. Now I have noticed that for some reason the meters don't always return after a restart. Then I am left going into the System Preferences to turn them on again.

Anbody else seen this? Great software just the same and I love using it.

LED Panel

JetFireDX had trouble on 08 Apr 2006

Very cool idea. I have started messing around with it and noticed one serious problem - it doesn't refresh after hitting "Load URL" if you have saved a new local file over your old one.

I had an error in my page (it was trying to load the wrong filename for the next frame) and I eventually just clipped it to the first frame and attempted everything I could to load it. It kept immediately opening my page in FireFox before displaying anything and in the html FireFox was showing were the links to my next frame. Finally I had to close the widget, open a new one, and re-enter the location of my first frame with file:///somefolder/test/test.html and it worked like a charm.

If you get wonky results, I suggest closing that instance of the widget and open a new one and try again.

Keep up working on this though - definitely a neat idea.

iSquint

JetFireDX had trouble on 05 Mar 2006

Recently upgraded to 1.2.3 and videos are still great on my iPod. However, newly converted files will not play properly on my Xbox anymore running XBMC. Nothing else on my system has changed significantly. (I stream videos to my Xbox for viewing on TV from my Mac.) Old videos I converted using iSquint play fine while newly created ones all show a few frames and then stop. Any ideas?
