TVshows
Sep 9 2008
****.

NIRSUS  I have been using this app for a couple of years now and it works great for me. --AIKOUSHA-- I am subscribed to Dr. Who and I checked there are at least 3 listings of Penn & Teller BS!. Try typing 'Penn' in the search box. Also there is a setting to have it check for new torrents hourly, daily, etc. If you set it to daily it only checks once a day.

Basically this app goes out to the internet and checks a DB of TV shows and lets you subscribe to the ones you like. Then when someone drops a bittorent file of that show TVSHOWS downloads it and opens the file into your default bittorrent client. TVSHOWS combined with Miro is excellent since Miro is a bittorrent client and can play .avi files (which seems to be the most common format for video).

It could use some interface improvements, but once you select the shows you want to subscribe to you don't need to run the app again until you want to add or remove a subscription. Like I said it works great for me, but apparently mileage varies.

NIRSUS  Does this work with MacBooks or not? The description talks about MacBooks but the requirements say MacBook Pro. Please clarify.

iAlertU

THE_JUDGE_G4  From the Dev's site:

System requirements

Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro

OS X 10.4 or higher

Quicktime 7.1.3 or higher

Note iAlertU may work on other Apple Macs but this has not been tested.

Basically this works with any Mac with a motion sensor (portables). I've also installed this on an iMac CD and enabled iAlertU with the remote.

NIRSUS  On my iBook G4 with OSX 10.4.10 Integrity 1.6 works exactly as expected. This is a nice little app that checks the links in a website to make sure they actually link somewhere. I just used it to check 94 links on a website and found all links were good. Then just to make sure it could find bad links I purposely made a bad link which showed up on the next check.

I recommend this app to anyone from a web newbie to an advanced web designer for checking links on their site(s). It does one thing and it does it very well.

NIRSUS  The developer seems to have ceased existence. I don't think the product is available anymore.

NIRSUS  There are many scripting languages out there. I was confused as to which scripting language these scripts are for since it is not mentioned. But I assume, after looking at the screenshot, that these scripts are written in Applescript. You might want to mention Applescript somewhere in your description.

That being said I will download these and see what they do.

NIRSUS  Works fine on my iBook G4 with 10.4.5. It's a fun game it would probably be more fun if I could remember the commands or figure out when I can use them. I keep standing on things and hitting [L]oot but I don't pick the item up. Ah well, it's a definite upgrade to Nethack if you prefer graphics to ascii.

SleepLess

****.

NIRSUS  The last version of this worked wonderfully for me. But for some reason the system tries to automatically log out while sleepless is running which interrupts whatever program I want to leave running over night. This is on an iBook G4 1.33ghz with OSX 10.4.5, and leaving the lid open with the display backlight off.
