HENRIKTEKNIK  I, for one, would immediately unfollow anyone who uses an app like this.  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I should point out that this only seem to happen when Finder is the active application.  
(Version 1.2.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Why does it open a Finder window when clicking its statusbar icon two times? Is there any way to prevent this from happening?  
(Version 1.2.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm still experiencing the same problem as @MRK below. New log messages don't appear on a new line, but instead get added on the same line after previous message (if there's space).

While running main app, it's all worky, but when quitting it and running the 'daemon' app, the problem appears. I'm using NerdTool 0.6 on a MacBook Pro mid 2009 OSX 10.5.7 and the log file I'm referring to (haven't tried anyone else) is the /var/log/system.log file, setup to be viewed in full screen (i.e. all the way until it hits the exposé borders on all sides).  
(Version 0.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Yup, although hopefully less confusing.  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I think there's too much nitpicking on how one should play this game and the "rules" about how to interpret the rules. In my mind, the game rules ARE the rules; the rest is up to you – otherwise, the game should take responsibility for preventing someone to attack the way they want, etc.

I was looking for a game where I could just pop by and have a few shootouts, then leave. But no, that's NOT okay with the people playing Lux… You can't just enter and play by your own chaos tactics however you want. Stepping on someones toe will mean about 10-30 comment lines teaching you what you did wrong – at best – and more often, lead to even more befooling. You are adviced to ask: "Is it OK with you, if I attack you in South America?"… (which of course is a huge disappointing element for someone who just want a game or two during lunch break or likewise).

My point of view: if I come in and play the game with my own uncanny/barbarian ways, I'd rather learn the consequences by myself, and I certainly didn't pay $24.95 just to express that I'm sorry if I so happened to "ruin" someone elses game. Who cares?

I hope I'll have a reason to retract these comments, but this is my honest conclusion: if you're not a hardcore player of Risk-like games – this is NOT for you, period. And If you (like me) don't have the time or interest learning each little code of conduct, then again, this isn't for you.

The way I wish to play this game is to simly act with passion and a bit of fun, making rough estimations, and if (at all) I feel a need to become more skilled, I'd prefer to "teach" myself – learning form my own "mistakes". Not by being yelled at, in a chat communication window.

The developer needs to address this in order to attract a larger audience. Perhaps there should be a public server open for free interpretation.

The game itself is pretty fun – enough for me to buy it after I tried the demo, at which time I was unaware of the prohibiting nature of its online games.  
(Version 5.7)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Oh why did you have to bring that up…

Every time I see RealBasic, I get a reluctant feeling.  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Just a FYI: BetterHandles version 1.2 will work fully functional in CS4 as well.  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is a winning app. Wave Editor is an extremely well-adviced craftsman tool for prestigious audio athletes.

It deserves the highest accolade for maintaining an even balance between ultimate simplicity and insane competence. Every once in a decade, a brilliant star will hit the software market—this is my pearl. One that I would swear upon and even be willing to speak in fanatic tongue about, should there be any slandering about it.

I can't see how anyone into sound design using Mac would ever want to look for something else. This is the audio software world's equivalent to the X-Acto knife.

A few examples of its selling points, to me, would be:

- Zero, null, zilch playback stuttering. And I repeat, none.

- Direct MIDI playability of the sample you work with (again, without no stuttering ever; just like having a sampler with very competent editing facilities)

- A single track - Multiple layers. This is a novel approach in the genre, and I think this gives a very organic feel—almost like modeling—to it, when adding and subtracting layers in your project. Even better, all layers can have separate effect plugins attached to them; hell, even multiple sets of audio plugins on each layer. (Which is just one example of how deep this seemingly spartan app can be.)

- Well, read for yourself, the specs on the developer website. The app is actively developed and has been around for a good while now. I've been using it since it first launched, years ago. The developer team is also a very conversational group, who listen well to what their customers have to say.

One note, before wrapping it up. This app used to cost a lot more than 3 times its current price: $250 before, $79 now.

I'm sorry if it looks suspicious, but I can't give this app anything but fives in rating. That is an accurate score.  
(Version 1.4.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  How do you mean, 'international' games?  
(Version 4.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Barbaexpensive  
(Version 4.0.51)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Edit: funny thing, a misleading typo manages to slink into my previous comment ("gooness"). No pun intended.  
(Version 0.7.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I don't quite understand what you mean, saying XAMPP doesn't have a gui frontend. (Disclaimer, I'm not a hardcore coding engineer, so I might be totally out in the blue, though, but:) As far as I understand it, the XAMPP Control Panel is just that, a gui frontend to all the XAMPP gooness.

Also, to the best of my knowledge, it seems like XAMPP is updated more frequently and contains more recent components.  
(Version 0.7.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Great everything! Except that I'm missing a shortcut key to add more cards instead of clicking the plus button with the mouse.  
(Version 1.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Utterly awesome... The feature that lets you move handles along their own axes (keeping their angles) was the deal maker for me. On top of that, this little powerhouse sports a lot of invalueable extras, making it a bezier lover's dream.

One other thing, that really exudes professionalism in this product, is the outstanding documentation. Provided is a great quickstart guide, showing everything at a glance, and a thorough user's manual for every aspect of using the plugin.  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  "Deluxe" should be a forbidden word.

(Other than that, this is a stellar application.)  
(Version 4.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  There's also a similar widget called ladyTax and it can be found at http://www.ladybug.fr/ladytax  
(Version 2.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is nice. Clean and concise interface, works properly in my testing.

Missing one feature, though: Spotlight Comments. As far as I know, the only similar app that can handle this, is (the commercial) app, Print Window.  
(Version 4.1.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The fact that it's not just performing simple whois queries, based on which, it makes assumptions whether the domain is up for grabs or not; and that's it. It does more (less?) than that... To me, it seems like this is more of a storefront for a commercial service, for which the developer takes advantage of the easy/quick way of marketing stuff for free, via Dashboard widgets.

I was expecting this widget to display the searches from within the widget itself, not to act like all those other meaningless widgets that simply points people to a specific website, working as undercover promotion, or pseudo-adware if you like.  
(Version 1.0.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I have one huge beef with this app:

The toolbar button for Path editing (called 'Sketch') needs to be split into two separate buttons... one for path, and one for smooth path.

...AND, I really don't like that it automatically switches to the Select tool once you've closed/finished working on a path.

In other words, I'd like to click the path button and then directly start working: i.e. _not_ having to choose between normal path or smooth path editing.

And again, I can't stress this far enough: please make it so that you keep the path editing tool activated after making a path!!

Other than that, the application is slowly beginning to take form.  
(Version 1.2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Just horrible. Install this and it's like bringing hell into your precious Mac. Each and every program crash I had since installing this, has had something to do with this abomination for a driver. Steer clear.

Try Steermouse.  
(Version 2.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Although I might be mistaken of the intended concept behind Clockwork, I'm desperately looking for a function to make it work as an alarm clock as well...

I can't for the life of me find a way to set an alarm at a specific time!

Sure, I can calculate in my head, that, if time's 8.26 in the morning, when I'm about to set my recurring (once a day) Lunchtime alarm, I will have to set it to 03:34:00 in Clockwork's 'alarm' mode.

I think the definition of 'alarm' in Clockwork is somewhat misleading, as it more resembles the functionality of a 'countdown' timer. An alarm, per se, (at least for me) is something you set, to go off at a specific time.

On a final note, about the application itself. It looks georgeous and I really want to find some use for it. But again, I was hoping it could work as a tea time, lunchtime, bedtime, morning coffee, etc. alarmer, which is easy to set up and easy to change in terms of such a schedule. Another thing I'd wish for, is a way to set off AppleScripts or open files at the alarm time.  
(Version 1.4.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Is there any way to permanently dismiss that obtrusive Activity Monitor window at startup?  
(Version 1.50c)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The most elegant, feature-rich, robust journaling app I've ever come across.

I found it to have the highest "feel-right-factor" to it, among the apps in the competition.

MacJournal has an equal potential for corporate and private needs respectively, and I've put it to good use in both areas.

I certainly use it almost every day!  
(Version 5.0.3b5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I have the same problem with GammaSlamma 1.2.

My system setup is a Mac PPC dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, OS X 10.4.11.

Opening GammaSlamma doesn't do anything. And it doesn't show up in the Open With...-list in the contextual menu.  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I would suggest the introducing of a small "vote for removal" button next to comments and reviews. There's a minimal drawback with that, sure, but it would put an end to reviews like this, which doesn't reflect anything about applications' qualities or lack thereof.

10 people voting for removal will bring it away, plain and simple.  
(Version 2.1.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Also check the free, QuickAccessCM, which does similar things.

http://free.abracode.com/cmworkshop/quick_access.html  
(Version 1.0.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  2 major drawbacks:

- Finder will stall and show the beach ball cursor for the time it takes to upload file(s) to the ftp server... This is the major flaw that makes it useless for me.

- Interface is kind of non-intuitive and confusing. For instance, when entering ftp addresses, I think that the username/password and rest should have specific input fields for it, instead of having the program's website state half-way down the webpage, what format should be used to enter ftp bookmarks.  
(Version 1.0.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Very humorous app, indeed.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Been using it for some weeks and it works perfectly!  
(Version 1.0.9)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Is the developer out of business? Their website seems to be gone.  
(Version 2.5.7)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Edit to my last comment:

It now works for me and it truly has the best drawing feeling of all apps I've tried so far.

Definitely keeping my eyes open for this app!  
(Version 0.9)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Such a bummer that Tooldial has been abandoned... I was looking for a neat way of using a dial menu along with the use of a Wacom Tablet and graphic programs... This seems to have been the very last sign of hope for that purpose. Appears it was a dead end. :(  
(Version 1.2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Wave Editor is the most powerful, impressing audio editor I have ever seen. It's my bread and butter of all things audio.

I usually tend to write fairly long reviews, but in this case, I don't know where to begin.

I'm just going to say, here's my 5 stars, and thanks to Wave Editor, I have found my way home.  
(Version 1.3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Very nice and elegant design! Easy to use and just great.

One feature request, that I'm missing, though:

- Organize recordings into separate tracks!

Otherwise, it's a pretty solid app!  
(Version 1.3.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Would like to try this, but it unexpectedly crashes each and every time I try to start the application.

I'm using Powermac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz / OS X 10.4.11 / 1.5 GB RAM / ATI Radeon 9800 Pro XT (256 MB)  
(Version 0.8.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Version 2.0bx (I'm currently using 2.0b6) seems to work flawlessly! Not a single glitch or bug as far as I can see.

I love the way it has evolved since version 1.x. One thing would be great to improve, though. I'd like to be able to drop applications onto the image well when adding a new app (disclaimer: I'm not sure if that's in the works).

This is one of the few apps I gladly give 5 stars in all cathegories (save for when I'm receiving bribes).  
(Version 2.0b6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Very inspiring application. And it's carried out in a nice and simple, minimalistic way. WriteRoom, to me, has a very geeky appeal. Feels like being on top of what you're doing, and it makes you realize how smart you really are.

Something that's often times remained unthought of, is the user experience; do people actually get anything produced (in this case written) with the apps they're using? And if so, is that because they were never distracted by cluttery, feature-packed user interfaces? Sure there are other apps that might succeed in the same regard that WriteRoom does, but there is none that resembles the looks and strictly minimal concept of this fine application. Also, I'd like to regard WriteRoom as being a writer's 'tool', rather than a full-blown word processor. It is reachable from pretty much anywhere, and jumps in as a refreshing aid in times when you need that extra focus to concentrate.  
(Version 2.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The scheduled updates doesn't work for me. When I view the update logfile, the dates are out of order, displaying such dates as 2007.25.25 (in YYYY.MM.DD format, that is). Hence, it never updates on regular basis and I'm currently having to manually update each day.

Would be awesome if this could be addresses. As well as having the daemon update once after each computer restarts (that is, if it doesn't already do that).

Otherwise, No-Ip is a winner! I love everything else about it. Thanks.

Note: I'm using Mac OS X 10.4.10 on a dual G5 2.5 PPC with 1.5 GB RAM.  
(Version 3.1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Nice app. But it would be awesome if it could flip/rotate images too. Batch processing would be nice as well, but not paramount.

Thanks!  
(Version 1.3.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  There's nothing like it. Astonishing piece of software. One of the few 5 star scores all-around I've ever given on MacUpdate.  
(Version 2.4.8)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This, and PDFView (also free) are on par, and I tend to use them both.

PDFView's advantage is that it's very fast and clutterfree, plus its unsurpassed abilities to show as much of the PDF contents as possible.

Skim's advantage over any other reader I've tried, is its bookmarking features.

Which one is the best? I haven't made up my mind, yet. But I had this one grief in PDFView, not being able to bookmark different parts in the document.  
(Version 0.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The latest update (1.1.1) adds a nice feature, the 'Do Include vs Exclude'. If I understand it correct, that option will simply switch the behavior from Excluding the apps you have in the list, into just Include those applications and let any other process be unaffected by Keyclick's sounds, right? My problem is that the "include-only" function doesn't seem to work. I can still hear sounds in all processes when I'm in "include-only" mode.

Also, are the Mouse Button click sounds "global", eg. not possible to set on a per-application basis? I would very much like to be able to set up Keyclick to, say, only be activated in TextMate and similar apps. Otherwise, I think the app is getting better and better, good job!  
(Version 1.1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Feature requests:

1.) Having it remember repeat mode after quitting and reopening the application.

2.) Like others already mentioned, a visible playlist.

Pros:

Loops audio perfectly glitch-free! As opposed to eg. Quicktime, which repeats loops with a horrible glitch.

Ultra quick opening time of the app!

Cons:

The icon for repeat mode is very hard to see. Could be made more clear.

Keep it up, dear developer! This is looking very promising!  
(Version 0.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Highly competent application. Beats any other quick resize/rotate, etc. image manipulator app that I've tried. It can even upload the images to a remote location!! And not even that; in addition to that, it can even automatically copy the link to the file on the remote server, in many different link formats... Things like that makes it apparent that XtraLean Software is a company who pay attention to nice little detals, that most of the competitor apps are missing out.

I was also very impressed on the great support that I received from XtraLean Software. I sent a query and the day after I had an email in my inbox, with a very thorough rundown on the steps required to troubleshoot my problem.

All the best and good luck, XtraLean Software!  
(Version 3.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm unable to try this program, as I'm getting a dialog at startup, saying:

"Error

Parts of the BSD subsystem are missing. ImageWell can not launch. Please contact support@xtralean.com for more information."

My setup is: Powermac dual G5 2.5 Ghz PPC, Mac OS X 10.4.9. It's beyond me whether I have managed to get rid of some of those BSD parts or not, but I'm wondering, is there anything I can do to get going with this (judging from the looks of it) awesome app?  
(Version 3.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Highly frustrating installation process, ending up in a no-go anticlimax...

I'm not a software developer...

I do not have XCode development tools installed. Or, yes, I do, but XCode failed to build this thing.

Why not provide a pre-built executable, together with the source code somewhere. Or at least some clear instructions as to how one is supposed to get this thing working...  
(Version 0.8)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Feature-wise, seems to be THE best tagging solution there is! That is, the way it operates, with its splendid interface design and everything, it's just a killer app, for sure!

On the other hand, in my testing, it seems that, for some reason there is a vastly increased delay, when opening my context-menu.

I have no idea of other users' experience in this regard, but for me, this is a major downer.

I may have to add, there's a chance this could be related to the fact that I have several other context-menu plugins installed as well; OnMyCommand, PathSnagger, Photo Tool CM, QuickImage, Finder Icon CM... but (!) my context-menu operated perfectly before and after having the TagBot plugin there, so either there's a "collision" going on between the plugs, or there's a "glitch" in the TagBot.plugin code.  
(Version 1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Oh my goshness. I adore this PDF reader. The bookmarking/annotation system is the best I've seen in any reader.

This definitely replaces Preview.app, and I hate to say it, but it even replaces good ole trustworthy PDFView as my primary reader.  
(Version 0.4.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is the best screen ruler I've ever seen. Just like its product name, Rulers is free of any uncertainties as for what it can do, or can not do. No unnecessary bloat here.

Compared to similar tools that I've tried, I find that Rulers is the only app worthy of being called a real pixel scalpel.

Can't say for how long I've been waiting for exactly this app, but it's been long enough to say: Finally, you did it!

On a side note. I have one humble request for a freature, that I'd like to see:

- Undo functionality. As in, if you move a ruler and you moved it wrong, hitting Command-Z would make it even easier to set it back to where it was before.

This is easily worth 5 stars from me.  
(Version 1.0.132)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I can't seem to be able to open the .dmg. It says something like "unrecognized format" (freely translated from Swedish to English).  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm starting to have high beliefs in this app! It just managed to become my prime audio player for quick previews!

Although it works great already, I have some comments about things that I'd like to see improved:

(1) Scroll-wheel support for fast forward/rewind!

(2) Option to always have Loop mode on between program launches.

(3) The song rating mechanism could be a little smoother.

(4) When a sound file repeats, there is a short 'flashing' in the file's information, which (?) seems to cause a short, microscopic glitch in the playback when it repeats. This is mostly noticeable when looping small soundfiles, say, for example a 1.5 second white noise loop. (I'm a sound designer, that's why I'm picky about this. But QuickTime and iTunes both have even worse glitches when looping and repeating sounds, so Play is already ahead in this regard, but couldn't hurt trying to reach total glitch-free looping anyways.)  
(Version 0.1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The + and - keys are unavailable for my keyboard. I'm using a Swedish keyboard layout, which doesn't have these keys mapped to the same keys as US keyboard layout. May I propose enabling the + and - keys on the numerical keyboard?  
(Version 1.5.8)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Intuitive and easy to use. Does what it says and it's amazing how many obsolete and duplicate bookmarks I just got rid of!  
(Version 4.2.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  $20 for this, when EasyFind does it for free is ridiculous. Just my modest opinion.  
(Version 2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Nice widget and all, but I second previous speaker's suggestion about changing the name of this widget.

I believe about 98% of all Mac users who are working with audio on the Mac, will think that this is a tool for converting between AU, VST, RTAS, MAS, etc. formats (or something like that). I.e. it's confusing.

But thanks otherwise! Nice and useable widget.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I like this a lot. Makes a better alternative to just pressing Ctrl-Alt-Command-8.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Crashes upon launch. Unable to evaluate. (Mac OS X 10.4.9, Powermac PPC dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, repaired permissions, etc.)  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I've had some bad experience with Xee lately, rendering images corrupted/non-readable by any program. For instance, I opened up some pictures that I had taken with my Pentax Optio WP "cheapo" digital camera, and I performed a 90 degrees clockwise rotation on a picture and then hit Command-S to save. When I reopened the same picture in Xee, Preview and all kinds of other programs, I get error messages saying something about the picture having wrong header info, or missing such.

Is this just me, or?

Glad to see some resolvement to this issue, as I think Xee is a wonderful application otherwise.  
(Version 2.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Georgeous!

Tack så mycket, Jonas!  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is brilliant. It bridges a gap between the Address Book and Mail. And it does it without any problems or hickups.

Thanks!  
(Version 5.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works great and all, but I'm using small icon size in my Finder windows, and the Refresh Finder icon doesn't resize properly at that setting.

Just a small cosmetic issue, not a big problem though.

Tack ska du ha, Söderhavet!  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Useful indeed.  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Worked perfectly. Maybe an option to have it not include contacts for which you haven't got any email address would be nice.

Thanks!  
(Version 1.23)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Is there any chance of extending it, so you can check multiple email addresses in one instance of the widget?

That would be the only quibble I have with this, otherwise, superb widget.  
(Version 2.0.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Wow! Works great, simple to use and makes a perfect replacement for the outdated Dockless application, which performed the same task, albeit in a more iffy fashion (in my experience with it, at least.)  
(Version 0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I concur with previous speaker. Although I'd like to thank the developer for a fine product!  
(Version 0.1.101)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I previously used TabStop, which does the same, but TabStop didn't offer what SafariTabs does, namely the option to choose a custom webpage to open, when you make a new tab.  
(Version 0.2.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Also check out SafariTabs. Does the same, but offers the option to choose a custom webpage to open, when you make a new tab.  
(Version 1.1.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I have a request for iGTD:

- An option to not show iGTD in the Dock and Application Switcher.

In my opinion, there is no reason to show it there, since it already (and quite conveniently) resides in the status menu bar. Having it in the Dock/App Switcher makes is somewhat redundant and "in the way", so to speak.

I know there is a tool called Dockless, which can do what I want, but I really prefer not to use that program, since it's buggy and appears to be abandoned as a program.  
(Version 1.3.1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Major advantage: Mail.app doesn't need to be open in order to check unread mail.

Major disadvantage: You can't check more than one email account in the same instance of the widget. You have to use multiple instances, for checking more than one email.  
(Version 2.0.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I love it! Main functionality is already there.

There might be a few things that need some touch up. For example, I'd like not having to confirm my login & password when opening Picasa. but all in all, this is a great application!  
(Version 1.0.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I got the following message while trying to run this version of UNO, v1.5. (I previously used v1.3.2 and replaced that version with this new one.)

I have Powermac dual 2.5 Ghz (PPC), 1.5 GB RAM, running Mac OS X 10.4.9.

(Version 1.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I like it a lot!

Only downside as it stand *right now*, is that its memory footprint is slightly higher than MenuCalendarClock, which I was using before.

I get around 0.5% of CPU useage in my terminal 'top'. MenuCalendarClock was at 0%. While 0.5% isn't that much; having lots of small programs with this memory useage, can easily ramp up the mem loads.

Nevertheless, I like this and will keep it in the menubar.

I'm using Powermac dual 2.5Ghz (PPC), OS X 10.4.9 and 1.5 GB RAM.  
(Version 1.0.9)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I highly wish I could use 7, 8, 9 and 4, 5, 6 on the numerical keyboard, to place the current piece in one of the Upper Left, Upper, Upper Right and Lower Left, Lower and Lower Right slots, respectively.

Or even better, being able to assign my own keys to place the current piece.  
(Version 1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Here's a wicked (?) thought:

How about Jon and Bartlomiej (Actiontastic / iGTD developers respectively) teamed up? Instead of working on two different (and free) apps, intended for the same purpose.

I'm certainly not a GTD boffin, but to me, the concept and layout of Actiontastic and iGTD do not look too divergent.

Still, of course, I somehow realize why there would be an understandable reason not to consolidate these projects, judging from the developers' standpoints. I'm not sure how easy it would be to just let go of (or reform beyond recognition) something that one spent countless sleepless hours to come up with...

Just a thought (or wish, I should say). I find the idea especially intriguing, since it would be great to see something truly potential, yet free/donationware, hold its ground against the forthcoming GTD app (habanero) cooking at OmniGroup's.  
(Version 0.9.3)

(Version 1.1.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I love this app! But I have an issue to report.

I use a keyboard layout that is not US standard (Swedish layout). And therefore I can't use the Forward/Backward commands in the Go menu, without having to edit the .Nib file for each update of PHP Function Index, and change it to something like Command-Left arrow/Command-Right arrow from the current Command-[ and Command-].

Is it considerable that the shortcuts change into Command-Arrow keys instead? I think this is what, for instance, Safari uses, if I'm not mistaken.

In anyway, thanks for a great app!  
(Version 2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The Activation Key doesn't bring up the calculator. I've set it to many different variations, but it simply doesn't invoke Calq...

(I'm using: Powermac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro XT (256 MB), OS X 10.4.9.)  
(Version 1.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  .

To the developer:

This is not highly important, but the application icon appears to be a little jagged around the edges. On your website, there's a .png version of the icon, that is a lot smoother. You can easily convert .png's to .icns icons with for instance, Iconverter (available on MacUpdate).

Thanks!  
(Version 1.1.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I think the knobs looks a bit odd. And a short letter or description should be included under the knobs, for easy hints on what they do.  
(Version 3.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  How does this compare to Luca: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21422 ?  
(Version 1.9.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is just my opinion, and others might think the opposite. But I found the interface to be a little obtrusive. I certainly don't want this tool to pop up on any and every single applicable file that I'm hovering the mouse over.

I might very likely be missing something crucial here, but after my quick evaluation, I decided to pass this one, since I couldn't find any Preferences in order to set it up, so that it pops up less often (and only when I want it to). In such a case, where there IS a Preferences window somewhere in MacGizmo, please forgive me for missing it, but nevertheless, in that case I would suggest that the developer make it more clear how reach it.

Lots of people evaluate (software) products in a matter of seconds. And if you don't feel right at home from the start, you simply toss it away. So there's probably some room for improvements there.

I also found the window's graphic style a bit unconventional (which doesn't necessarily have to be all that wrong). Adding an option to set it to normal Finder style ui graphics would be great. Even adding a second, more clean and elegant graphic style would be prefereable. Something like the smallish windows in Aperture, where the windows are all different gradations of black (with transparency in them). This is meant as constructive criticism, as I'd love to see MacGizmo become a great app, since the main idea and concept are all great. And because of my very quick/limited/intolerant test evaluation, I'm not rating this down, as I might have missed some major qualities in that short time.

Good luck with further improvement!  
(Version 1.0.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works perfectly on my PPC, Mac OS X 10.4.9.

I wish that I could also convert images (.Png's, etc.) into Mac's icon format, --> .Icns.   
(Version 2.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Quicksilver plugin?! Now, that is the right kind of thinking. Go, go, go, Bartlomiej Bargiel! Things are really starting to flower, in this app.  
(Version 1.1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Feature request:

Sorting feeds in folders, for easy cathegorizing. Also, maybe some kind of system menu bar access?  
(Version 2.1.1.2109)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I wish for 2 major things:

1.) It would be great if it remembered the game state, if you quit the app and then open it again.

2.) Simple network play (at least in a LAN).

Otherwise, looking real good! Thanks!  
(Version 3.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Java "powered"...  
(Version 4.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Operation is a bit flaky. Pressing the designated keyboard shortcut doesn't bring up the exposé feature right away, and in most cases not at all (although it does work *sometimes*, about 1/10 of the times I press it).

I wasn't allowed to evaluate this for more than a mere 2 minute, since I ended up in a situation where I seemed to have 'used up' a certain number of times that I'm allowed to invoke TabExposé in evaluation mode.

Frankly, I don't see what huge advantage TabExposé would bring to the table, over the normal Exposé.

For a v1.0 release, at least it should be working flawlessly. For me, it didn't. Although, I'm not sure if that's having anything to do with the fact that I have three other plugins installed for my Safari; SafariPlus, PithHelmet and TabStop.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  MacUpdate shouldn't facilitate twisted wackyness such as this.

This is not a program, but a display window for hokus pokus propaganda, which has no informal value whatsoever.

It's the 21st century and people ought to wake UP and stop believing in myths. If there's any religion worthy of trusting, it's got to be love and common sense. And you certainly shouldn't need any news widgets to see what's going on there.  
(Version 1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is by far the best metronome app out there. Nothing compares to Dr. Betotte.  
(Version 2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Well, I don't know if I should belong with the "steaking kiddies", as the speaker below stated. But I'm turning to another tool. There has to be one that is actually working out there. This is starting to bug me off, as SoundConverter is just too flaky.

I hate to say that, but it's true. I don't know how many times I've got error messages popping up when trying to make simple aiff/aif/wav to mp3 conversions and such... And today, it managed to convert my aif files to mp3 allright... except for one, very time consuming and annoying thing; it converted the files to about 4/5 of the total length of the originals...

These things and many more glitches makes this app seriously disappointing. Which is a real pity, since I think SoundConverter's interface is nice and simple to use. And why does it toss in a lot of funny temp files next to my original files, while converting? For what I remember, temp files with the extensions of .sf/.ogg/.au, etc. use to pop up when converting (although they disappear after completion, so I guess that's no problem).

I hate to complain, and I even apologize for that, if it feels unfair. But I believe that straight criticism can sometimes helps pushing things further.  
(Version 070307)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works great. Thanks for making this free!

I hope I'm not missing any hidden (or even obvious) feature now, but here's a feature request:

It would be nice if you could keep it active all the time, until you press some key combination. That way, you can design without having to stop and check results in Color Oracle.  
(Version 1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  The screenshot doesn't reflect the program in its correct environment. This is a Mac-only site, as in MacUpdate. Screenshot is PC.  
(Version 2.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  For what it does, it does it flawless!

I like how it saves the chalkboard in your Dock icon, even if you close the program. That's nice.

I wonder if it has support for Wacom pens (note: I've never used one of those before), in which case I'd wager this application would become more useable.

The only minor drawbacks, are that it's a bit hard to draw with precision, and you miss the feature of either being able to use Tabula Rasa in fullscreen mode, or either being able to adjust the chalk size (perhaps by means of simply scrolling the middle-mouse wheel up/down?).

But hey, nice work, Developer! :)  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This game is the medicine.

I'm speechless right now.

Just came out from a 3 hour non-stop ultra hardcore games. And I just want more.

At first, I thought there were some things in Nexuiz, that didn't behave exactly as you're used to. First and foremost, the player movements have a slight accelleration/descelleration added to it. Which makes it feel a little funny in the beginning. But after a while, you're perfectly ok with it (I mean, perfectly ok with it).

Now on to some details. The sound effects are great. But, the music - although not every track - is, at times, super rad! Ingeniously crafted into this game, the music literally pumps out your adrenaline. It's that great.

I must frankly say, that I really can't collect my optimistic thoughts about this game and express it in words. But to all fps fanatics out there:

This is the game.

No unnecessary story plots, realistic yada yada; just pure battle, right from the start.  
(Version 2.2.3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I think that the developer should define what, exactly, he/she means by 'themes'.

Is it CSS style sheet modifications, or is it UI themes in OSX?  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  CONS:

I am struggling hard not to buy this game. Like previous commenter, I also think that the pricing model for this game is a bit extreme. Admittedly, I really dig the online highscore system; it's excellently designed and I think it plays a big role in the fun, with a game like this, but the price you have to pay, in order to participate, is... well, a bit much.

PROS:

This game is radical! So radical, that I wouldn't hesitate to rank it evenly - if not before - the previous king in obsessive casual games; the Palm pilot version (not the computer ditto) of Bejeweled 2.

Whereas Frenzic has a very different plot than Bejeweled 2, its addiction-factor is just the same; you can't stop playing!

Design, look and feel of Frenzic is top notch. The sound and music fits very well in with the rest, adding a lot of immersive drama to the game. And again, the online high score system looks and operates very (!) smoothly. I like how they didn't make it just a highscore list, per-se, but actually added some further depth to it, by means of making it more 'community-like', where you can add and compare your score with friends, etc.

To sum it all up:

This game manages to carve out its own, unique little space, in a genre that is stiflingly overpopulated with tons of different casual games trying to appeal their audience. Albeit, what might throw a spanner in the works for Frenzic, is its aggressive pricing model, which, if lowered a couple of bucks, could help popularity (and sales alltogether) rise to epic propotions...!

Now, I might prove wrong just as well. (I'm not a marketing expert.) For all I know, I'm still struggling to resist the urge to splurge and buy the game, without blinking, now and here.  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm very happy to see that someone's taking on the task of reinstating SoundApp for OS X!

I know that this is in early development, but I ran it through a quick evaluation and these were the things that I stumbled across. I will not put a review score on this app, in its current state, as I think SoundApp Reborn is in a rather unfinished state. The following list is meant as constructive criticism, hoping that it might help tracking down things that, if fixed, might improve things in SoundApp Reborn.

- Doesn't allow drag & drop of file(s) onto the application icon.

- Repeat loops the sounds with a small pause glitch between the end and beginning

- The Info window persists popping up when double-clicking a file in the list (would be nice to be able to choose whether or not to see this, like in QuickTime)

- Help menu doesn't lead to a help file (frequently debated issue, but personally I think it shouldn't be there if there is no help)

- Navigation is very quirky; when you are in the list (without having the Info window opened) and press Up or Down arrow keys, you select the next/previous file in the list (which is all fine), but when you've pressed Space, to preview a sound (and again, when the Info window automatically pops open), the Up and Down arror keys doesn't maintain their original function (select previous/next sound)

- Bug: It seems to mess with keyboard input (at least on my machine). When I'm using TextMate, TextEdit or any other program with some kind of text input field it gets impossible to input anything! This issue occurs when having a loop playing in SoundApp Reborn, and exactly when the starts over again.

- This is just a subjective opinion: The icon doesn't necessarily have to be all "OS 9-esque". I can see why it's been made so as to resemble how the original SoundApp was looking (which isn't bad), but it looks a bit hastily created and would benefit from some more afterthought and polish.  
(Version 0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Can someone explain what the previous speaker is talking about? What's weird about this developer? The only thing I find perhaps somewhat close to (yet not exactly) 'weird', is the "Use at your own risk" text, which might seem a little, as said earlier, ominous.

Other than that, I can't see what's supposed to be spooky about this app at all. Seems like a decent, simple todo pad.  
(Version 0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Very nifty way to learn & practice regexes with!! 1-trick pony app with a simple interface, no bloat, no extras; just the way I want it.

Could be nice, like previous speaker mentioned, with some sort of color distinctions for different matches... maybe.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Still going strong, this app still have a permanent seat up among my menu bar items. With this update, I'm finally being able to open the Audio/MIDI prefs! Thanks a lot!!  
(Version 1.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I like design of the widget, but it's not perfect, yet. I've been using Übertragen, a similar widget to Fire Widget, that does the same, and even more things on top of that.

Pros:

- It has a very smart feature of automatically copying the actual http:// address to the file you just uploaded, so that you can pass this info to someone else. No need to re-edit those ftp:// links that you get from other programs, such as Yummy FTP. This is the main great thing about Fire Widget, that makes me devide to keep it in my Dashboard.

Cons:

- First off, I had a little trial and error in order to get it to work at all. Reason for that, was that I looked too much on the hints in the address fields, etc. that come with it. For instance, the first one - the 'Host:' field - has a generic 'host.com' text already there. So I thought, well, I'll just enter my site and the domain extension after that and here we go. But in fact, you will need to enter 'ftp.host.com' for instace. Same thing with the 'FTP Path:' field, where one doesn't know whether to input the whole 'ftp.host.com' followed by the /path/to/some/folder/, OR, as it turned out to be, only the 'path/to/some/folder/' thing, and leave it like that. The rest of the things in the preferences window look allright though.

- Secondly, I take it you can have multiple instances of this widget, for dirrerent sites and/or folders. Now, I miss some sort of text info, that clearly indicates to which server 'this' particular widget is connected to, without having to flip to the preferences side and look it out.

But that's about it, for my criticism. Other than that, I think it looks great! So, thanks a bundle, and good luck to the developer!  
(Version 0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Also check Keyclick: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/24053

Keyclick does the same, except for letting you choose custom sounds from the interface (although you can do it manually via 'Show Package Contents' in Keyclick's prefpane and replacing the sounds within).

15 euros for Typewriter Keyboard...

...$2.50 for Keyclick (that'd be approx. 1.90 euro)

The rest is your choice.  
(Version 3.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Each time I'm starting it up, I'm asked for the login/password to GMail. Doesn't seem like it wants to stick. (And I have of course also checked the 'Add to Keychain' button.)

A short question also: is it possible to somehow share a download link to my uploaded file, to someone else? Does GMail allow for that?

Otherwise, gDisk looks all nice and I'm sure you'll work the kinks out of it. I'll keep an eye out for this in the future.  
(Version 0.6.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Great.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I just bought this genius application! But I'm waiting with a review score until I've posted about a feature request that I have:

- I'd like to see an option for using my own sound in Keyclick! Not that the built-in sound is bad (it's actually nice), but it would add to the fun and perfonalization effect, if I could make my own sound to it.  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This app is awesome!

I wish there was a way to drag & drop apps into the interface, for easier and faster management.

But nevertheless, this app deserves 5 stars!  
(Version 1.2.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'd like to take the opportunity also (no offense to the developer of Code Collector, but this is a consumer oriented site after all), that there is a very nice alternative ditto app, called iSnip ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/17045 ). Although not being updated for a while now, iSnip sports the ability to categorize your code snippets. And on top of that, it also doubles as a multiple clipboard items memory, and you can invoke it with a keyboard shortcut if you like.

As long as Code Collector doesn't have the ability to sort snippets into categories - which is very convenient when you, for instance, want to separate a lot of snippets into different programming languages - I prefer iSnip.  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I must say that the screnshot for this app is very revealing. This looks like the perfect app... not to install.

Why would I want to "Run a script" in a program which doesn't include any description whatsoever?  
(Version 0.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I can confirm SOUTHPORTLANES' problem. I'm also using OS X 10.4.8 on Powermac G5 dual 2.5 ghz (ppc).  
(Version 2.3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I agree with last speaker. Back with the POLIZEI name! :) That name had a soul, whereas (in my opinion) this name is very generic sounding.  
(Version 1.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is looking geourgeous! And it's apparently made by a Mac guy judging by the screenshots ;)

I have a question though:

I have a site that is hosted by a web host which doesn't use Apache (as far as I know). The host is one.com and my domain is run on Linux srv66, using PHP (register globals 'off' and safe mode 'on'...).

Is there any chance I might get this working on my hosted domain?  
(Version 2.0rc1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  When I start it up, it asks me to select a game, in which I want to color my name, but the select menu is dimmed out and I can't select anything.

When I press Ok, an error window pops up, saying:

"An exception of class OutOfBoundsException was not handled.

The application must shut down."

My setup: Powermac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz, PPC, OS X 10.4.8, 1.5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro XT (256 MB) GPU.  
(Version 1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I've been using this for a week now, and I intend to keep using it!

Light-weight, nice looking (both icon and interface), low memory footprint, and most importantly; very justifying to its purpose! It really helps focusing in on the program you're currently working in.

Although the Think app itself is already very unobtrusive, I'd wish there was an option to invoke the "focus selection screen" by means of a keyboard shortcut.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Fantastic game. Clean and fast. Perfect music. Awesome!

Only one gripe: I wish I could use W, A, S, D for maneuvering the ship.  
(Version Day 23)

HENRIKTEKNIK  (Just a side note that I couldn't resist posting.) I just love this application's icon... it's genuinely delectable.  
(Version 3.0b1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Not too bad. I think Seashore has potential!

Here are my wishes for improvement:

- Alt-dragging to automatically duplicating selection (á la Photoshop).

- Realtime transparency interaction. I.e., be able to show (in realtime) when you change a layer's transparency.

- Command-+/- for zooming.

- Scroll-wheel support for zooming.

- Option to not let the screen dim when you make a selection. Plus, alternatively adding an option to use a more 'conventional' type of marquee (again, á la Photoshop).

- More enhanced gradient editor.

- Do I dare asking? Bezier-curves/simple vector gfx support? :)

Good luck! And thanks so far!  
(Version 0.1.8p3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Very difficult to send a file in a normal LAN via Bonjour. I think there should had been some clear documentation of this (Bonjour transfers, that is) in the built-in Help documentation, just for this feature alone, since I believe that many (with me) are looking for an easy way of tossing files around in their local network.

Maybe it's me being dumb, or maybe it didn't work. For all I know, I spent 20 minutes without managing to send a simple widget.wdgt file over Bonjour. I ended up getting various error messages and eventually gave it all up. If it's me, missing something that is supposed to be 'obvious' (then I apologize for my somewhat sceptical review), or if it's the app that is actually falling short in terms of Bonjour transfers; I'm still left with the task undone.

I was hoping for this application to be *the* file transfering hub that I was looking for. I'm returning to the free and quite capable alternative, Übertragen (widget application).  
(Version 1.0.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  There is a similar free app, called Focus ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11356 ). I won't say that it's necessarily better than QuartzClocks (they're slightly different, offering some features that the other one doesn't have).

Check it out and see for yourself, which one you'd prefer.  
(Version 1.3.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Follow-up on EL-CRAVITO's comments below:

It would be nice if I could exclude the Finder icon, but keep the clock dials. :)  
(Version 2.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  VERY nice image viewer. I like that it shows a chequered background for transparent areas! And even with *diagonal* squares (= even better than straight squares.)

Some wishes for improvement:

- Disable scroll-wheel operation while cropping images! (To prevent accidental "loss in focus" while cropping.)

- Smaller toolbar icons for Rename, Delete, etc.

- Cosmetic: Option for having Xee automatically put its window on the center of the screen.

- After editing a picture with an external editor, and saving anew, having Xee still show that picture after you saved it. Right now, it seems to put the edited picture last in the viewing 'queue'. (I might have missed some feature that remedies this. If so, nevermind this.)

Keep up the great work. This is definitely replacing Preview.app and any other 3rd party image viewers on my computer.  
(Version 2.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Looks great! And works great as well.

Save for one little quirk. It seems it required you to be logged out from the Twitter.com website before posting a message with Twitterific. Would be nice if it worked independently of whether you're logged in or not on Twitter.com.

Anyway, it's a great little gadget!  
(Version 1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Among those similar alternatives I've tried so far, this really is the best choice! Thank you very much, Mr or Mrs Developer.  
(Version 100)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Ok, I know this is an early beta (and I'm not going to put any review stars as it's not finished), but I think the interface is very confusing.

- Icons/buttons doesn't clearly depict what's going to happen when I press them, hence I find myself waiting for the tooltip hints to show up.

- I find the layout of the interface and its mechanisms to be very quirky. For instance, if I click on something in the list, I would expect it to be pasted at the text prompt the unuderlying program, but that didn't happen. Instead there's a separate icon for this.

- I stopped bothering after a while. For instance, how do I get text copied in a program *into* the application? I expect it to just *be* there in the program meny, after copying some text, but it wasn't.

Maybe I've gotten it all wrong, but what I was looking for in this program, was mainly a multiple clipboard items repository/app, with some form of 'extra' spice to it.

All in all. This might become a useful application, but right now, it's too confusing.  
(Version 1.0b)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Vicious problem happened to me while testing this application. I was evaluating it today and it all ended up bogging down my computer to a nearly 100% stall, where I was unable to do anything. I don't remember what exactly I was doing in the app, but I noticed that it rapidly hit something in my Edit menu, since that menu was blinking like a "stroboscope". I think it was when I just clicked on a picture-type of clipboard item in shadowClipboard when it happened.

Might have something to do with the fact that I simultaneously had a similar application running (Jumpcut) at the time I tested shadowClipboard. And after a second thought, Jumpcut doesn't allow for image clipboards, it's text-only, so that's a possible theory for what happened. But when I finally reached Terminal and shadowClipboard's pid, and killed it, everything went back to normal. If the problem occurs once again, while still having Jumpcut on, I'll try killing Jumpcut instead, in order to see if I can zero in on the problem as being Jumpcut related.

Now, I know, if you use shadowClipboard, that you don't need Jumpcut or any ditto app, but I just thought I'd report the occurrence I just experienced in here anyway.  
(Version 3.0.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Kinf of nice, but you need to make it so that this app can open *without* having a normal Terminal window being opened at the same time, *and*, without needing to have the Terminal, in order to invoke the Visor thing.

Otherwise it's a nice idea. Good luck improving it further. Thanks.  
(Version 1.2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Feature request: A button for deleting all tags that are no longer accotiated with any file (i.e. empty tags).  
(Version 0.2.2b)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I recommend [url=http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22159]Currency Converter[/url] widget (free).  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I would love it if I could press Command-Enter (on numerical keyboard) as well. I.e. not only Return key on the qwerty keuboard.

Otherwise, nice application! Thanks!  
(Version 0.4.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Hi, you asked for my CPU usage. I have a Mac G5 dual 2.5 Ghz, 1.5 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9800 XT Pro (256 MB), PPC, OS X 10.4.8.

I tried to use some of the memory analyzing programs in the Developer suite, but I'm not too sure how they works, so I used the old 'top' method in Terminal.

In normal operation, without moving the mouse or doing anything that affects Focus, it's between 0.6% - 1.1% CPU (never less, never more than this).

If I switch from the current program to another program, Focus goes up to about 4.5% CPU, and stays there for about 1.0 seconds.

Maximum CPU usage value that I've seen so far: 10.3% CPU.

At the time of this test, I only had Safari, Mail and Terminal open. Although, I'm using a lot of window-less apps such as iCalViewer, Zooom, Relaunch, MacMinder, etc.

I don't mean to say that Focus is a complette memory hog, not by any chance. :) But if it could help in any way, these are my statistics. Good luck with further improvement and thanks a bundle, for a very nice application! (I definitely intend to keep using it!).

Henrik  
(Version 2.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I love it. Works great! Looks geourgeous.

One note: it seems like it's a little hard on your CPU resources, but I guess that is the price you'll have to pay for eye candy such as this. :)

Thanks!  
(Version 2.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  - I'm experiencing sudden crashes now and then. As in, silent crashes without notification. I can't replicate when, exactly it happens, but I'll report about it if I find out.

- I haven't figured out how the 'Save as .ICNS…' works. I select an image in Finder, then choose to save it as .icns in Pinki, but I don't get to save it as a separate .icns file. Reading the description of the program, I was under the impression that there should be a way to generate separate .icns files out of images. Would be happy if someone could give me some advice (am I missing anything?).

Other than that, this looks great! I like the app, but it's a little rough around the edges perhaps.  
(Version 1.1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Absolutely fantastic, and free!! Thanks.

A few requests:

- Keyboard shortcut for changing Albums!

- No more .sitx files for the program distributions ;)  
(Version 2.2.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works perfectly. I dig it.  
(Version 0.5.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Instead of this, I'd recommend Zooom, http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23203  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  what is a virus?  
(Version 1.1.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  While this all sounded like a promising application, I found it to be *way* too complicated for me to install a trial version and run it. In fact, I gave up, as it demand that I install a lot of extras that doesn't even exist. (The Darwinports thingy wasn't there on the aforementioned link.)

While being temped to rate this according to my (short) experience with this program, I would find it pointless to rate something which leaves me left with a visual impression ranging from non-existent to none... except for an application icon.

Please make this a MAC application :)

As an aside (the product probably doesn't deserve it, but) it *does* look very promising and all, yet alas the hassles of getting it to *work* would surely leave any inquirer stuck in the door, so to speak.

I'm sorry for my scepticism. And I'd be happy to deny my current opinion, should I evaluate a smoother revision sometime in the future.  
(Version 1.0b6B560)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This app is looking real nice! And operates interruption-less in my (somewhat limited testing so far) also.

Definitely a useful app; not only for web designers/programmers themselves, but also in correspondence with their clients, as it's a look-no-hands easy type of maneuver to email account infos to clients.

Great work, thanks!

Just a minor wish (actually, quite a big wish, if I'm not wrong?):

- Integration with major FTP clients (Yummy FTP, et. al.), so you can hit the "Login with FTP Client" or somesuch button, and you're there.

- Also, some sort of encryption wouldn't hurt either. I'm not sure how this would best be carried out, but some sort of master password stored in the Keychain would probably make sense.  
(Version 1.0.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works perfectly and it appeals to the geeky side of my personality.

Adding to the coolness, I have hooked it up to the contextual menu, via OnMyCommand (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9283), which is just geekyness galore...!

Here are my feature requests:

- An easier way of selecting logs. Preferably, using the Console.app's behavior for changing logs (e.g. automatically display the usual places for logs. Not a biggie though.)

- This is my biggest grief with MkConsole; I would love it, if there was an option to supress those dialogs that pop up, for when there is a missing log files on the hard drive, that you have specified in the list. (Sometimes I clean my system/user logs, and some accidentally gets deleted then.)  
(Version 1.9)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm amazed that none else has commented on this nifty little thing. I for one, like it a lot and use it every time I have an important email that I need to relocate for future attendance. LinkABoo does exactly what it claims to do, and it is fast!

Here is how I use Linkaboo (in tandem with other apps) to make email links for iCal events.

Apps used:

- High Priority, $6 (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20377)

- OnMyCommand, freeware (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9283)

- LinkABoo

I have set LinkABoo to be executed from within my OnMyCommand contextual menu. So, in Mail.app, I right-click on the email in question, then select LinkABoo from the context-menu, after which LinkABoo will open. After that, I open High Priority from the Finder menu bar, schedule an iCal To Do from within High Priority and finally, I drop the LinkABoo link onto HighPriority's URL field!

This might sound more complicated than it really is. In fact, it's done in a snap (only a mere 5 seconds tops).  
(Version 0.9.5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Yes, the email requirement just to view the FAQ on the product's website does leave a bitter-sour aftertaste.  
(Version 4.1)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm utterly amazed how powerful this is. Very hard rocking piece of work. I hope it will continue to work in Leopard and the future.  
(Version 1.7.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Immensely fun.

Suggestion: Option to limit the "repairing bricks" thing, to only every 2 rounds or so. It's too easy for the opponent to build him/her a too tough to break defense.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I love TextMate, just as much as I love SubEthaEdit. I have decidede to let TextMate be my local text editor, and SubEthaEdit, my collaborational ditto.

There are a lot of things one can say about both. But all in all, for me, I can't be without one or the other. Mainly, I'd say SubEtha is uncomparable in terms of forementioned collaboraion features. And its editing qualities does take you a long way as well. On the other hand, in regards to text editing funcions, great looks and simplicity, TextMate exudes sex appeal. I'd say, as it stands currently, they're on par with each other.

Pick one, pick the other, or pick both. To help you narrow your search for a decent editor, I'd say, these are the ones to consider.  
(Version 1.5.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Works perfectly great! Thanks.

May I suggest that you add some hint to the user - either in the Preference pane itself, or in the ReadMe file - that he/she can delete the Prefrerence itself from the System Preferences, to free up some space? That us, when they're done setting the preferences.  
(Version 1.1b5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Very clean and easy to use. Nothing unnecessary functions bloating things up. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks a bundle, developer!  
(Version 2.1.0.2108)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Just a short response to the previous speaker (NEO979):

Try Zooom in combination with USB Overdrive (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7115), or any similar app that can map mouse buttons to keyboard buttons.

I'm pretty sure this will mean a huge eye opener to anyone who's reluctant to remember a lot of modifier keys.

By using said method, I recommend mapping middle mouse button to whichever key combo you have mapped in Zooom for moving windows around!

Try it!

(This of course requires a multi-button mouse other than the Apple 1-button ones.)  
(Version 1.4.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm still evaluating MailTags and I like it so far. But I found one thing that should be addressed (correct me if I'm wrong):

It appears as if, when adding an iCal todo, MailTags will actually *open* the iCal.app, in order to add the todo.

I would be happier if I didn't have to open iCal to do this. I also use a program called High Priority (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20377), and there you can add iCal todos without opening iCal.

Reason also, why I don't (or rarely) want to open iCal, is that I can see my todo's and calendar items directly on the desktop, using another fine app called iCalViewer (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11500). I hope I'm not missing anything regarding this matter. :)  
(Version 2.0b5)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I've been using iCalViewer for years now, and it still has a permanent seat among my favorite applications.

I can't imagine how anyone, with even the slightest predilection for knowing what's scheduled ahead, could possibly live without iCalViewer.  
(Version 2.0.7)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I would maybe buy this if it was ** dock less **.

But my problem is, I already have too many programs where their application icons persist staying in my Dock + Application Switcher menu... :( This would be one too many.

To developer: please make this as an *option*.  
(Version 1.3.2)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is just great. It doesn't do much, but for what it does, it performs great. It's fascinating how Apple wouldn't implement such a feature within Finder, right off the bat.

I've never had any problems with Service Scrubber and it will continue to be part of my most essential apps collection.

5 stars, all cathegories.  
(Version 1.1.3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I like this!

I just wish I had an option to save the icon thumbnail when you choose the Save Icns option.

That way you would not have to go back to CocoThumb and choose Add Thumbnail once again, on the just saved .Icns file.

This would replace Iconverter completely for me.  
(Version 2.3)

HENRIKTEKNIK  One of the best application names I've ever seen. ; )  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Btw. I think it *might* be the culprit to why my Safari crashes every time I press the TAB key some times. (Try pressing it some 10 times or so.) I hope I'm not wrong. I have SafariPlus installed also, so it could as well be related to that.)  
(Version 0.62)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Half a day worth of evaluating Overflow, my excitement is almost unspeakable. Because my jaws fell down the basement and my wallet just started dancing on my desk.

With spending trousers on, I am onwards to possessing a marvelous piece of a shining ...COMMAND BRIDGE!

Henrik,

Sweden  
(Version 2.0.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Edit to my last post (and forgive me for comment bloating): I just realized that you can, in fact, use this within Finder itself! Blazing app, this! Thanks again and I'll keep my commenting constrained now. :)  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  By the way, adding to my little list of modest feature requests below.

- This is a far out one. And might be too complicated to implement, but here goes: How about Finder desktop/and window support!? You'd be able to pinpoint files on the desktop in a snap! (Sure, you can type the first letters of a file, and the Finder will mark the first matching file for you. But you can't show multiple matches with the Finder.) Just a suggestion, not crucially important, but would be awesome if it's possible.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This is dynamite!! Absolutely genius.

I only have some modest requests:

- Dock-less operation.

- Some way of scrolling through results further down in the window. For instance, I'm using Command-Ctrl-F for ScreenSieve, and it would be cool to be able to use Command-Ctrl-G for a page down action, plus showing more results along the document. (Maybe enabling the use of Arrow down/up within the context of having ScreenSieve showing the results would be cool also.)

- Some way for ScreenSieve to remember searches between "sessions" (i.e. after closing ScreenSieve and invoking it once again). So that you can close ScreenSieve and then hit, for instance, said Command-Ctrl-G (or the key combo you have specified) to search again, in the same, or even another window.

- Sparkle updating? :) Not a biggie.

Just some spontaneous thoughts. I am very grateful for this invention of yours, Developer! Great work.  
(Version 1.0)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Great application. Adds very useable features to Safari, and it eliminates the need to have a whole plaethora of Dashboard widgets to search various sites!

Stability has been somewhat iffy for me. But it's not unbeareable, and I'll definitely let this stay in my Safari.

I wish it could remember your searches, after having "de-clicked" (or deselected) the marked search results in a page. They way it seems to work now, is, when you've searched for something, then deselect, and then try to use the keyboard shortcut for Next Result and Previous Result, it won't look them up again. Instead, you have to do a search again, which feels a little unneccessary mayhaps. :)

Other than that, and some rare crash (for instance, when visiting http://www.discogs.com and dragging its favicon to the Channel window in the prefs...), this is EXCELLENT. Looking forward to see its future. And many thanks to the Developer!  
(Version 0.62)

HENRIKTEKNIK  This app feels spooky. It adds cookies that goes to a site that is somehow connected to the developer.

While this might not pose any risk for the end users, I think it would be appropriate if the developer added some form of explanation to this behaviour in the program description.

Seing what other types of programs have been made by this developer - key logging kexts, "mac crack" apps and somesuch - I think, in these days, with computer fraud being a trivial threat, one should be aware of anything that goes on "under the hood" of programs.

I don't mean to let this, hopefully nicely intended, and by all other means, well executed app down. And I will not rate it down either, here on MacUpdate. But you know, if one is being paranoid about computer fraud and all things related to that chapter, you probably understand the concerns that one might have, in being kept in-the-know of what's really going on with apps like this.

So my question is, it seems it only saves cookies when choosing to 'check for updates' in SafariBlock's prefs: Why does it have to save these cookies (8 in total) and what are they for?:

- SessionHitCount

- RSAddParams

- PCAddParams

- Domain

- ActionsTaken

- LastURL

- RefPage

- SessionID

I hope my question is not taken as being offensive (I don't mean to). Good luck and Merry X-Mas! :)  
(Version 1.14)

HENRIKTEKNIK  I'm giving this a 5 star rating. Looks fabulous, works fabulous, performs just super fabulous!!

But !

I have one sole request:

Being an interface fetischist, I can't help but getting annoyed when I accidentally move the window slightly, in one direction or the other.

Right now, I would have to go to the prefs and click the button that sets it back to normal/default position.

Now. It would be GREAT if this specific prefs option was taken a bit further, so that you can have it always default to normal/default position; EVEN if you so happened to move it the last time you were using Overflow. This would bring Overflow into the final phase of interface nirvana. (In fact, I think this feature of windows "stickyness" is - ironically - highly underrated and often forseen far too many Mac apps. Hint to developers.)  
(Version 2.0.4)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Looks good, but I'm getting an error message trying to install the script. Mac OSX 10.4.7. PPC. Permissions repaired.  
(Version 0.4.6)

HENRIKTEKNIK  Doesn't save Spotlight comments in the list, which was the feature I was looking for.  
(Version 2.6.4)
