SweetFM
Jun 19 2009

JOHN BIGBOOTE  Apologies, the trouble I was having playing my library was not with SweetFM, but a block with LittleSnitch. SweetFM is working wonderfully, best Last.fm player out there! Only request right now is to have an option to keep the player visible all the time.

SweetFM
Jun 18 2009

JOHN BIGBOOTE  Looks promising, but I cannot get it to play my Last.fm Library or Recommended stations. It only plays Last.HQ station (shows "Streaming Error"). Also, it won't stay visible - the window disappears when you click off of it. Since it uses WebKit, it's possible the Safari 4.0.1 release has frakked it up. Awaiting 1.0.2.

RapidWeaver
Apr 2 2009

JOHN BIGBOOTE  BDKENNEDY, before you pop off with your disdain for a product you don't even know, shouldn't you do just a little research? I started using RapidWeaver about four months ago and within the FIRST DAY, I had found out how to build a site from scratch, without applying a theme.

By reading a few of the forums at www.realmacsoftware.com, I found out about the plugin Blocks and it's companion theme (or actually nontheme), BlocksBox. Yes, you have to purchase the plugin, but the price of RW with 10 plugins is still cheaper than DreamWeaver. Blocks allows you to drop elements on the page, resize, etc. and BlocksBox gives you a blank slate.

Do your homework before you crucify a product.

JOHN BIGBOOTE  Working for me with today's Safari 4.0 Public Beta! Yay! (I installed Adblock AFTER installing the beta)

Apple Safari

JOHN BIGBOOTE  I had to look for it too. It's now inside the address bar on the right side. But here's the catch - while a page is loading, it's the "segmented circle" progress/wait icon. You have to hover over it to get the "X" stop icon. Then after you've clicked to stop a page, it will become the "circular arrow" icon for reload. If a page successfully finishes loading, it automatically becomes the reload icon. It's different, but it works just like Mobile Safari on the iPhone. I'm sure someone will come out with a utility to put it back the way it was if you don't like it.

****.

JOHN BIGBOOTE  So after using the new public beta for a few hours, I'm very pleased. On my ancient 5-yr old PowerBook G4 1GHz, this thing screams compared to ver 3. Page loading and scrolling are way faster.

Tabs on top will take some getting used to, but as a web designer, I like the extra screen real estate for actual web pages! I don't mind the stop/reload button moved into the Address bar, as it matches the UI on the iPhone. I do like the Google search suggestions, but would like options to disable. The Top Sites feature is pretty, but a resource hog. I doubt I'll continue to use it on my old machine.

Requests:

1. Bring back the page load progress bar!

2. Auto-Close the Downloads window when all downloads finish. I had been using Glims to do this, but it's broken with the beta.

3. Built-in ad-blocking. Had been using Pithhelmet, but Safari AdBlock is working with the beta. If this were built-in, we'd be one step closer to eliminating the "nasty" InputManager hacks.

4. Make the Google search field resizable and give config options for how it behaves.

Overall, great update!

JOHN BIGBOOTE  Intel Only = FAIL (at least for another year or so)

Too bad, I wanted to try this, it's the best photo software on Windoze.

Azureus Dashboard Widget
Mar 20 2007
****.

JOHN BIGBOOTE  Love the widget, but can't get it to connect to my azureus machine when it runs anything above Azureus 2.4. With 2.5, it shows downloads, but no control buttons.

Hope the developer updates this great software soon!
