SonicMood
Aug 19 2008

MRCHIPS  " It's like having my own personal "Hearts of Space," only without the annoying voice-overs."

I admit to being a "Hearts of Space," fan too :)

Thank you for your kind comments! The next version should be out soon. I've tried to improve the "edit" window so that it's a bit easier to understand and use. Modifying and making new Moods can be a bit daunting at first!

Cheers,

John

Smart Scroll

*****

MRCHIPS  After I upgraded to Leopard, SmartScroll stopped working. It's been some time coming but I'm happy to report that v2.8 is working fine on my computer now. The previous release had a few issues - it sort of worked... So far v2.8 is great!

Thanks to the developer for taking the time to get it working on Leopard! I really missed it!

Overflow
Sep 19 2007
*****

MRCHIPS  I've tried many app launcher programs and never found one that fit the way I worked until I found Overflow. It is so easy to use and so unobtrusive. I recently bought LaunchBar, which many people love. But I can't seem to remember the names of files, etc. Overflow shows the icons of the files (with the names below) and the files (apps) can be organized into categories accessible on tabbed pages. I just hit the hotkey, and click the icon of the app I want to launch.

This update includes one feature I really wanted. Now you can select (in preferences) to have Overflow appear at your cursor location. Another second saved! :) Thanks, Dan!

And I've never had a problem with it, it just works.

Meteorologist
Sep 4 2007

MRCHIPS  I forgot to mention in my previous reply that I'd noticed Meteorologist was using something between 40 and 50 MB when I checked before the restart. But it had been running for about a week before that so there might be some slow leak...

I've just tried clicking a few things on its menu and can get the "Real Memory" to go up to about 30 MB, but it goes back again. It seems the floor now is around 26 to 27 MB and is stable there... "Virtual Memory" is at 370.13 MB (was 368.03 MB in my previous post), so not much change there...

I'm going to keep my eye on this for a few days, but so far it seems ok. BTW this is still with v1.4.6 but based on these results I think I'll go ahead and try v1.4.7.

Thanks for the feedback!

Meteorologist
Sep 3 2007

MRCHIPS  I'm running Meteorologist v1.4.6 still and Activity Monitor reports Meteorologist is using 23.28 MB of Real Memory and 368.03 MB of Virtual Memory. That's about where it was roughly 9 hours ago when I restarted my Mac (for an unrelated reason).

I'm running on a Mac Pro 2.66GHz with 10.4.10

MRCHIPS  I've been using Versomatic since last November (about 3 months) and it's been working fine. Its operation is unobtrusive - I forget it's there...

You can specify which folders it should monitor and how much disk space it should use for the backups. I've only needed to recover an earlier version once, but I was able to look back thru quite a few versions to find the one I wanted (an earlier version of a program I was working on that had some code I'd later deleted...). So, for me, it does what I wanted.
