How is it Free and $9.99?

Didn't work for me, but I didn't try very hard. I really want a solution that doesn't require me to open an account with someone else - I just want to be able to configure a secure connection between two computers that I own. When I saw that this solution only works through their servers my interest in spending more than the half hour I did spend went away.

I'm not reviewing this software because I wanted to comment on some of the other reviews, and because Backuplist+ does everything I need it to do. Several people have complained about the difficulty of synchronizing two folders using backup software. While that is generally true, Backuplist+ puts a pretty face on the *nix rsync tool that is designed for directory synchronization. It's free, can be scheduled, etc.

In any case, I'm not knocking File Synchronization, because I haven't tried it (at least, not lately), but I can do what I need to do free with Backuplist+.

I also found that the developer of Backuplist+ (whose name escapes me at the moment - something French, I believe) responded quickly and helpfully when I had a question about how to use the program.

Current price is $3.99

Having just come from another free recipe manager that was only a step above index cards I'm impressed with Mama Meera's Cookbook. Ingredients are listed separately, with separate fields for quantity and measure. Although it's not yet implemented, this would lend itself to easy scaling of recipes in the future, or automatic calculation of nutritional information.

The coverflow interface is nice, if you have pictures of your food, and it is comfortingly "Mac-like". Although it won't calculate nutritional information for you (unlike the non-free MacGourmet) it does allow you to enter this information for each recipe. Also provided is tracking of the number served, which is nice for meal planning.

All in all, Mama Meera's Cookbook, despite a rather cumbersome name ;-) is a capable start for a free recipe/cooking program, and it may eventually become a serious contender with the commercial apps already available.

I really liked MaNGOsX, and have yet to see how well I will like Arcemu as an engine, but I thought I would put together some thoughts as to how to get things working.

First, if you want to use the default MySQL installation, just move (or link, or copy) the database folders to /usr/local/mysql/data/ and set the ownership and permissions to match the other folders there. Alternatively, you could do a SQL dump of the databases from MAMP and then import them into MySQL's default using the tools of your choice.

Secondly, since I don't want something like this using root access to my database (and since I don't want root access to have the password "root") I suggest editing the configuration files in /server/etc/. This is where you can change the settings of the arcemu engine to look for the database where you specify and with the user you specify.

Finally, I found that the program wouldn't run because it was linking to a library that wasn't present on my system: libpcre.0.dylib. It was looking in /usr/lib/. I found the necessary library in a Plex distribution and copied it from the internal Frameworks folder there to my /usr/lib folder. It works.

I'm currently troubleshooting some issues with the DBC files - it claims an inconsistency with the Spells.dbc - but I ran out of drive space during the initial install and hope that reinstalling the affected files now, having cleared up some space, will help.

Finally, make sure your client is patched to the same level as the server you install. It's nice that the ArceMux program not only tells you this, now, but also gives you a choice of two alternatives: 3.1.3 and 3.2.0.

Thanks, Jeremy Meile! (Though your site could be a little less frustrating :P ) The only other thing I could ask for at this point would be the ability to download the files implicated in 2.4.3 again, if I decide I want the Kirin Tor back in Dalaran...
