Description is inaccurate...I remained addicted to this game long after childhood! :) Nice to see it back.

VueScan

Neutralzone commented on 10 Apr 2011

Wowee...I wasn't expecting network Epson support to be added any time soon, but boom, here it is! Now I can use VueScan to scan from my all-in-one Workforce 610 over the network, awesome! (I have been network scanning from it with Image Capture, which works pretty well, but it's nice to have the additional options of VueScan sometimes.)

Thank you Ed!

Tunnelblick

neutralzone commented on 24 Jul 2008

A day too late. I put up with Tunnelblick for months and just yesterday I switched to the new Viscosity, and I am amazed how much nicer and more stable it is.

Maintidget

neutralzone commented on 25 Apr 2008

This is a great idea. Would prefer it as a standalone utility, not dependent on having to start up Dashboard.

MacJanitor is not a viable substitute for Maintidget.

I used MacJanitor for years. It was based on the old cron (pre-Tiger) implementation of OS X maintenance scripts.

Maintidget is tied to the current launchd (Tiger, Leopard) implementation of OS X maintenance scripts. Back then, if you didn't leave the Mac on overnight, the scripts would not get run. That is no longer a problem in Leopard in most cases, and that leads to one of the advantages of Maintidget. Maintidget reports the last time the scripts were run. In most cases, this report will indicate that there is NO NEED for you to run them manually because they have been running on schedule anyway. MacJanitor does not report the last time the scripts run, so because you're flying blind, you'll probably waste time running the scripts more than necessary.

I use Maintidget as a monitor first and a fixer second, and I find that I hardly ever have to press the button. MacJanitor is both outdated and lacks sufficient feedback.

Awesome concept, awesome execution!

Parallels Desktop

neutralzone reviewed on 12 Sep 2007

Since I bought Parallels many months ago, this is the first non-beta build that lets me sync my Kyocera phone via its Windows-only USB sync cable and software, so I'm very happy. CPU and RAM usage seem to be well under control. Nice job!

Holy moly, it's a Growl update!

Cannot download this file. Safari and Firefox get
"Access denied. Access rights not sufficient."

Remote Remote

neutralzone had trouble on 04 Aug 2006

0.9.6 release notes say "Keychain issues resolved" but it still asks me for full login information on start even though I checked "Add to Keychain." This is 0.9.6b according to the About box.

Nice improvements otherwise.

Yes, that was it! Now that I have filled in "As user" it no longer asks for authentication. I use static IP addresses on this network so changing IPs should not be a problem.

Thank you for the quick reply even though I recognize this site is not an official support channel.
