J.W.  Glad MacUpdate is finally listing this. It's a very useful utility for keeping track of updates to your apps. It doesn't catch everything, and sometimes mis-identifies versions. But it's still good to have.

J.W.  They still haven't fixed the bug in 4.0, where some resources will be cached, even after manually clearing the cache. Very frustrating for web developers.

J.W.  I had the same problem, until I unplugged the phone and plugged it back in. Then it remembered that "Sync notes" was checked.

I don't really trust this feature, though. If you edit a note on both the Mac and the iPhone, it just overwrites the phone's version when you sync. It doesn't alert you that there's a conflict.

EyeTV
Jan 20 2009

J.W.  This is disappointing. I just bought an EyeTV a couple months ago, and now I've got a $20/year obligation if I want to continue using the features that it was supposed to come with?

I really think EyeTV should offer a free option for TV listings.

J.W.  Anyone else having problems with this under 10.5.6? Once in a while it slows to a halt every time I invoke it. And sometimes it loses track of the order of apps, or doesn't show a newly-launched app in the list. Stopping and starting LiteSwitch fixes it for a while.

STORMCHILD  Yup, I'm seeing the same issues, and it's been happening for a long time now, so I don't think it's a new problem in 10.5.6.

Unfortunately it looks like Proteron has stopped working on it.

J.W.  Very useful. This is the only hex editor I've found that handles different text encodings.

J.W.  > They give you 2 different sets of installation instructions: (1) enter your name above the serial field (2) DON'T enter your name in the serial field.

I don't see any contradiction between those two.

J.W.  Also, you can assign another shortcut to Pause using System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts.

J.W.  Have you calculated the odds? I'd be surprised if this were true. Even in a random sequence, you're bound to have chains of repeated elements. And it's pretty easy to imagine that the odds are "against" you, when they're really just random (at least, as random as a computer can get).

I mean, it's possible that he's got some algorithm to calculate the piece you need and avoid giving it to you, but it seems unlikely.

J.W.  When I launch this, it gives me an error that at least version 4.7 of iTunes is required. Then it quits. I have version 7.1.1 sitting in my applications folder.

J.W.  Very nice. I really would recommend changing the name though, since there's already an audio program called Max, which has been around forever.

SJK  A more unique name would also make it easier to search for references to it on the web.

DAVEBARNES  Some of us agree that Max needs a new name. Please surf to www.sbooth.org and participate in the forums.

One of the topics is "new name".
