Flappie
May 1 2007
**...

CMUVIOLIN  Where do I start. I was all excited to have a little pet to take care of. I was so wrong. He was cute to begin with, and then got very very annoying. He is said to evolve, but i highly doubt that is true. My guess is that it is a joke saying he will evolve like humans did throughout millions of years. I made sure flappie was well feed, I always played with him, everything was perfect, but now he is dead. This was not worth my time, and unless there is an update to flappie, I will be deleting this widget.

URUZ1  I feel the same way. The best I've gotten is one heart. Then something I do or don't do kills him. I was attentive as I could be to him, but I've killed him at least 5 times. I just don't know what he wants! The sad part is that you get so annoyed with him that it's almost a relief when the little bugger finally kicks it.

PANIO  I'm also disappointed with Flappie. He (she?) is fun at first but then NOTHING happens. The "evolve" teaser is just that... a tease. Even though Chrysalis is anticlimactic, at least the creatures do evolve as promised. Don't waste your time with this widget.

CMUVIOLIN  nice job. I use this daily, the only part I have a problem with is the copy and paste. When I drag the character, it just copies the keyboard combo. I also would like to see a way of just using the character without HTML codes. Other then that, I love it.

CMUVIOLIN  Not bad. Graphics are a little boxy, and everything is very plain. can't beat the price though. The one thing I do not like at all and the reason for deleting the program is that on my MacBook, the processor runs so hot that I hear my fan more then the game. If you can limit the processor use then I would be playing this all of the time.

CMUVIOLIN  Very poorly designed Screen saver. For people who haven't downloaded it yet, it is a clipped picture or Mario and Luigi (you can still see the white box around the character...at least crop out Mario and Luigi from the rest of the clipped image). Secondly the just jump out from the middle off the screen to the outside. They don't zoom past in any cool way and they don't actually run, it's just a cut image of him standing that moves.

ZANGIEF  I was under the impression that Mac users were a nice group of people. I have been proven wrong.

And FYI, it is intended to look that way. If you can make something better, let me know.

CMUVIOLIN  wow, we are getting detailed here. I don't know if I will add them, if I do it wont be for awhile. I will though make anything you want me to. if you want me to make the whole conference it may take me a little while, but if you have a specific school or actually anything else (any icon you want made) just ask, I enjoy making them. and it would also help if you could send me a picture or even just a link to a web page with the picture/logo. I will then e-mail it back to you when I am done. Don't be afraid to ask for other stuff to do, I am at a loss for making things, I have done other stuff as well like Musical Instruments and Mac computers but now am just making random things.

Thank you for your interest

CMUVIOLIN  well... quicktime pro can do it... but I would say use iSquint. It is free, and it is for ipods but you could just put that file in there and change the size that way.

CMUVIOLIN  If you want to use the icon, all you have to do is right click and go to "get info." Then click on the small icon at the top, "copy" and "paste" onto the small icon of the "get info" section of the thing you want to replace.

As for opening it to edit, all I know is to take a snapshot of the icon and pasting it into Photoshop (or whatever else you wnt to use). i am sorry and would like to know myself if there is a better way.

CMUVIOLIN  Having about 150 DVD's this is a dream come true. Not only does this help me keep track of all of my movies, but lets me know which ones are checked out, and who has it (working is Address Book). Thank you for the great software.

CMUVIOLIN  I used Photoshop to make them, that must be why it says the kind is "Adobe..." I don't know anyway of opening an icon in photoshop without taking an image of the icon (function + shift + 4) and opening the image then with photoshop

**...

CMUVIOLIN  First I would like to note that it is not the largest... "College and University Icons" has over 300

I had a hard time liking these icons. My main problem was that icons should be a photo or computer done. They aren't an actual photo, and with being computer done, they are not done artistically, only the same bland design repeated.

My other problem was that yes there is a lot of them, but many seem to repeat. for example 4 different Xserve's look almost identical, as well as multiple computers.

props to spending time on this project, I know myself how long it can take, but I felt as if I was surfing though the same icons repeatedly.

CMUVIOLIN  without Chax, iChat is one of the worst chat programs out there, but with it, I wouldn't use any other. Chax makes chatting easier then ever before, and on a much cleaner environment.

***½.

CMUVIOLIN  Very nice, but will randomly use up a lot of CPU. I have a new Intel Core Duo iMac, and normally everything uses less then 1% of the Processor, untill WeatherBug, every 10 seconds or so will use over a quarter of the entire machine. It is a well made Widget, my only changes would be to make a larger forecast to show more then the next 3 days, and find a way to reduce the size of it. The Widget is the biggest program, over shadowing my main apps.

CMUVIOLIN  Nice looking widget, but doesn't seem to know any cities. I typed in Mount Pleasant, MI. which is well known and where Central michigan University is located, and nothing was found. So I tried Midland, MI, and once again even though it's a large city, nothing. COuld be good, but needs more information and features

***..

CMUVIOLIN  widget has nice features and I have been looking for something that would define and correct, but it is diminished by how slow it is. It takes a long time to look up a word, then it asks for what kind (noun, adj., etc.) which is good, but then it takes longer to look it up further. I will stick with apples version until this is improved

SAM TSENG  Hi CMUVIOLIN,

Thank you for this useful review. No doubt, it is quite slow. I just add "list related words" as an option. Please download it again. I should disable "list related words". :)

Best,

Sam
