Calculate Pi

Mike666 commented on 24 Dec 2011

I would love to see something like this that can do pi and other constants in different bases to as many places as one has time for. Since Carl Sagan wrote Contact I think looking for possible meaningful info in the data streams of these numbers could be the next frontier.

iStat Menus

Mike666 reviewed on 06 Aug 2010

iStat Menus is actually pretty great in concept and for most part, in execution. Except for a little problem I kept having whereby the WindowServer process would eventually start chewing up my CPU cycles; uninstalled iStat and the issue went away.

Submitted two feedback messages to the developer about the issue but not a peep back - no requests for logs, system profiler reports, nothing.

Doesn't look like the developer ever checks the MU reviews either but just in case, I'd like my 16 bucks back...

Sonnet Tempo SATA Firmware

Mike666 commented on 24 Jun 2010

Interesting: this has been out for almost a month and they're only posting it now...

mailbfr

mike666 reviewed on 03 Jun 2009

This an awesome and essential tool for anyone running mail service on OS X Server. Apple's mail maintenance and repair tools just don't cut it and this fills that gap perfectly.

Really nice to see this on MacUpdate - was previously a little tough to track down the latest version on the internets.

The Merge

mike666 reviewed on 22 May 2009

I like it. Seems to resonate with something in my subconscious so as simple as it is, I find it intriguing. It would be even trippier if the view moved slowly through the tunnel in either direction.

The only negative comment I have is that the lighting is such that the yellow and green sections bordering the upper right corner of the tunnel look very flat in comparison with the rest. Some other color variations would be nice too - as it is, one could view it as a subtle Windows advertisement...

Fractals

mike666 commented on 19 Sep 2008

Seems to have some potential but a few comments to the developer:

If you're going to have a package installer for a small app like this, at least give it the ability to install the app where the user wants - some of us only like to keep Apple apps in /Applications. A better solution would be to roll all resources into the app itself and just distribute it in a zip or dmg.

Some explanation of the FreeType framework would be appreciated, either within the installer or at the very least, on the app's web page.

A postflight script which launches the app without warning is very disconcerting and smacks of malware. Most of us don't mind double-clicking when WE'RE ready to run an app.

time 3D

mike666 reviewed on 16 Jul 2007

Kewl, but I thought the clocks were going to actually show the correct time... Neat effect though and a good start! Not sure the installer pkg is necessary though - a lot of folks complain about them for simple installs.

GrowlMessage

mike666 commented on 13 Jul 2006

I agree - even their website has virtually no info. For all we can tell, the app simply pops up reminders to eat more fresh fruit and whole grains. That'll make you growl easier, I'll tell you what. :D

iScroll2

mike666 reviewed on 04 Jun 2006

I've been using it for about 2 years and have very smooth and responsive vertical and horizontal scrolling - don't use the circular scrolling. It did take while to find the optimal settings so it sounds like you just need to play with it a little more, Herr Rex. My settings are: Sensitivity - 1 mark below highest, Speed - 2 marks below fastest, Resolution - 2 marks above lowest and Maximum Event Rate at the highest.

JView

mike666 reviewed on 15 May 2006

Me like old icons better. Simple. Distinctive. Like the application itself. Otherwise, this is still the best image viewer for my money :D.

Apple Safari

Mike666 had trouble on 08 Jun 2010

If you use PDANet and it stops working after you upgrade Safari - just reinstall PDANet and it should start working again.

Safari AdBlocker

Mike666 had trouble on 20 Apr 2010

Anyone had an issue with auto-updating SAB whereby Safari gloms onto all the CPU cycles until the Installer actually launches and then again after the installer is finished? It's happened during the last two updates so I'm going back to the manual download and update.

Plasmatube Screensaver

mike666 had trouble on 09 Dec 2007

Ya gotta copy the tubes folder along with the qtz file to your screensaver folder. Didn't glean this myself until I viewed the dmg directory in icon view - the background image explains. Developer should have a readme or make it an actual screensaver bundle... On the whole very nice once it's working.
