SafariStand

Theothertim reviewed on 18 Nov 2011

When I used Safari this was the plugin that made the browser usable for me. It used to offer features that are no longer available, but I commend the developer(s) for keeping it alive and I know they are adding features all the time, albeit slowly. But it takes time to recode the software, and that is understandable.

I LOVE the quick search feature; being able to right-click a selection of text on a page and choose to search it in any one of your customized search engines is a great feature I miss in other browsers. I like how this plugin also handles URL bar searches by displaying the search engine/site chosen. I miss site alterations the most.

Overall, a great extension that is worthy of your time if you're a Safari user.

PDFView

Theothertim reviewed on 14 Nov 2011

I am sad to see this little gem out of development. Still, it is available and it works very well. It is fast and easy-to-use. I like that it opens the PDFs in full-screen view. And I like that it automatically adjusts the size of the text based on the size of the window. A great little utility.

Flock

Theothertim reviewed on 12 Oct 2011

Sad to see Flock go. I liked it a lot and used it quite a bit in the days when it was using the Gecko engine. Then I saw they had switched to WebKit using the Chrome method of separating tabs into their own processes, which I like. But I could never find out if they were sending data to Google or not, so I didn't use it. I didn't need the social networking features, but I loved the interface and the concepts behind Flock, basically a Firefox built on top of Chrome. Hopefully the code gets picked up. The Flock FAQs states that the development team is now working on games for social media and mobile platforms. I wish them well. They obviously have some very skilled developers.

Sparrow

Theothertim reviewed on 06 Oct 2011

Sparrow is beautiful and innovative, but it has its flaws. It lacks a lot of options available in most mail programs. You can't sort ascending. If you read emails from oldest to newest, when you delete an email Sparrow sends you to the next oldest message, not the next newest. You can't use the spacebar to scroll the message, moving to the next message when you hit the end. And if you open a message into it's own window, you can't scroll with the keyboard. So while I love the conversation view and the "slickness" of Sparrow, it is truly built for the user who likes gestures and the mouse. There are several keyboard shortcuts that are welcome, but when the most basic of them are missing, it makes for a frustrating experience for me.

Growl

Theothertim reviewed on 15 Sep 2011

Is anyone having difficulty adding styles in OS X Lion (10.7.1) with version 1.2.2 of Growl? When adding new styles they cause Growl to cease working; the preview button produces no action. If I logout and back in the preview button works and the styles I added work. The Growl forums are locked, which is why I am seeking help here. Thanks.

Herald

Theothertim reviewed on 20 Jul 2011

Herald isn't the prettiest notification system out there, but it works very well. The developer does a good job of keeping it current with the OS and Mail updates. I personally prefer GrowlMail and the many styles that are available, but Herald wins in the features department. A good piece of software that extends the usefulness of Mail.app on the Mac.

Works wonderfully. One of those little apps that makes my life a whole lot better. Thanks!

Postbox Express

Theothertim reviewed on 29 Jun 2010

I have been LOVING Postbox Express! I use it to check a few accounts and it handles them with ease. Previously I used Thunderbird and while the 3.x version is nice, it is slower and occasionally exhibited odd behavior and would produce errors. Postbox Express is faster and has a cleaner GUI. Growl support and a stable application for free! I'm going to check out the paid version to see what I'm missing. Nicely done!

Microsoft Messenger

Theothertim commented on 25 Mar 2010

It won't allow me to sign in with a corporate account. The message states that corporate accounts have been disabled in this beta. So, it is of no use to me at this stage.
