iDeskCal	May 22 2009	GARY L. GRAY Because I want to be able to quickly see my schedule without having to fire up iCal. iDeskCal launches when I log in and it is always there. It also allows me to quickly add an appointment or meeting without launching iCal. I use it for much the same reasons I use GeekTool. With GeekTool, I like seeing my local radar at a quick glance and I like seeing how Time Machine is doing at a quick glance. Sure, I could fire up Safari and go to a web page that displays my local radar, but GeekTool allows me to see that MUCH faster. Sure, I could run the Console and filter out backupd process entries, but GeekTool allows me to view that information much more quickly. (Version 2.0)		0

iDeskCal	May 22 2009	GARY L. GRAY This is a very nice little app. It is wonderful to be able to be able to use Expose to reveal the desktop and have a quick glance at my schedule. iDeskCal is easy to install and configure and has been stable in the few days I have been running it (though I wish the position of the calendar on the desktop was a little more intuitive). It will display any calendar, even those to which I only subscribe. I highly recommend this app if you want to have your calendar conveniently displayed on your desktop. (Version 2.0)		0

PENGMAN Why not save your money and just put your calendar in your dock(s)? One click and it's activated.

ANONYMOUS Switching to the Dashboard is enough for some.

For others switching to the Dashboard can be seen as a chore.

The Dashboard is incredibly slow for a lot of people, and also requires you to actively think about checking your calendar.

iDeskCal works great for never having to think about checking what is on your calendar.

In multi-monitor setups it can be placed in a location that is usually not covered by applications.

In single screen setups it works great, as any time you close or minimize all your programs (to get to your desktop for example), there is your calendar. Without thinking about it you have seen what is on your calendar and you are less likely to forget about that days meeting.

Not having to think about checking your calendar is probably one of the biggest advantages of using iDeskCal.

CoverSutra	Feb 5 2009	GARY L. GRAY I've tried them all and CoverSutra is the best iTunes controller there is. I love it! (Version 2.1.7)		+3

Synergy	Jan 7 2008	GARY L. GRAY I am seeing the same thing with 3.5a3 -- it crashes immediately upon running under 10.5.1. I even tried deleting all prefs files and it still crashes. (Version 3.5a3)		0

Subversion Scripts for Finder	Jun 1 2007	GARY L. GRAY Until I found these scripts, I continued to do all my svn'ing via the Terminal. I have tried many svn utilities that purport to make svn easy to use via some sort of GUI and I haven't liked any of them. I discovered these scripts a couple of weeks ago and they make svn a joy (rather than a bit of a pain) to use. For example, I add one or more files and/or directories to the projects for which I use svn, select them, and a quick trip to the Scripts menu adds them to be commited. The same goes for deleting files, commiting files, updating, etc. If it had move and copy, it would be almost perfect. (Version 1.1)		0
