ALJUK  this appears to be dead and the installer is non-functional. anyone know where I can get a copy?  
(Version 2.1)

ALJUK  "What's the efficiency in supporting an obsolete platform?"

PPC is a long way from obsolete.

"Previous versions ... can play anything out there."

No, they can't.

You sound quite ignorant.  
(Version 0.9.9a)

ALJUK  Latest update has severe issues. App crashes everytime I try to open the "Unassigned" folder, forgets which website it's trying to log into etc. Constant crashes and freezes. I've been using this app since the beginning, and am currently feeling very disappointed in it. If I was a new customer, with the problems it seems to be having right now, I certainly wouldn't buy it.  
(Version 2.9.13)

ALJUK  can hardly play any .flv files that it used to play fine  
(Version 0.9.8a)

ALJUK  Yeah I agree, stop and start works, but it never used to be necessary and is a total pain, especially if you want to rewind a bit and go over a particular line of dialogue a few times, in which event it's unuseable!  
(Version 0.9.8a)

ALJUK  Awesome, I'm loving it. Built in query tester / command line interface too. Really good.  
(Version 0.9.3)

ALJUK  1. Picture buffering issues - black screen at start of movie, then picture appears with severe artefacts for a few seconds before settling down.

2. Picture freezes for a few seconds when movie is put to a different location (this has always been seamless previously).

3. Overlay of file name at start of movie file for several seconds (no real purpose and looks terrible).

Going back to a previous version.  
(Version 0.9.8a)

ALJUK  The disk image is corrupt.  
(Version 1.4.2)

ALJUK  No 10.4? That sucks.  
(Version 3.2.2)

ALJUK  No 10.4 support?  
(Version 1.3)

ALJUK  I think I'll stick with version 2.1 - it works really well and it's free. Sounds like the more recent version has taken a wrong turn. Hourly adverts? Jeez, what's that all about...  
(Version 3.1)

ALJUK  I've never heard of DS files presenting a problem to windows users or had any issues with any files I've zipped for people who use windows. But I guess if those invisible files did create an issue for anyone I'd just delete any that were likely to get zipped before I did the zip. There are plenty of tools available for deleting those files, and plenty of different ways of viewing and accessing invisible files on the mac. i appreciate this s/w might be useful for someone, but personally I can't justify paying for something I can do in a couple of seconds with standard system tools.  
(Version 1.7)

ALJUK  Pity it doesn't work in 10.4  
(Version 1.0.1)

ALJUK  I could email it or ftp it to you.

What address?  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  Another (kind) user sent it to me. I can mail it to you if you like. Email me at the address on my account and I'll send it zipped by return, or if you'd prefer another method just let me know.  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  I've got it, thanks. Ah, the power of the macupdate community... :)  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  Every link to this on the web is dead.

Does anyone have a copy they could mail me? Please?

I could trade it for something or whatever.  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  Perfect, and brilliant!

Thankyou.  
(Version 1.1b7)

ALJUK  I must apologise for the inaccuracy in my review (see below). MP3 Trimmer DOES have switchable fade algorithms (I didn't realise the icons are switches).

Awesome. I've been editing out the dialogue and announcements from the music podcasts I subscribe to and the app is perfect. Great drag n drop too...  
(Version 2.8.56)

ALJUK  Not so. I've been using 2.4.2 with WP for about 18 months and it rocks. Never had even a hint of an issue.  
(Version 3.0b36)

ALJUK  This is a very efficient app for top and tailing mp3s and adding auto-fades. It's entirely intuitive, quick in operation and a great solution. Highly recommended.

As a feature request I'd like to see some switchable auto-fade algorithms. The algorithm in use is a bit linear, and not very natural (ie. the tail is too long) at short settings. That addition would make this app perfect.   
(Version 2.8.5)

ALJUK  This is, hands down,the best GTD app on any platform.

If it's Dave Allen's system that you use, then this app is perfect, and your only serious option.

There are a few small java clunks, and it can occasionally seem a little slow, but in the scheme of things, that's irrelevant.

If only I'd discovered this sooner...

I use FileSync to keep the data files sync'd between my desktop and laptop, so I always have up-to-date GTD data wherever I am.

Wonderful.  
(Version 2.0.1)

ALJUK  There are only two serious candidates for time-billing management, OfficeTime and iRatchet.

I've gone with OfficeTime because:

• It's unobtrusive - I can start stop pause and switch activities and projects from the menu bar and see at a glance whether I'm in record. With iRatchet I'd have to keep calling the app to the front, and get no proper visual feedback from the menu bar. This interferes with my thinking and workflow.

• I can set different rates for different types of task. I can't do this with iRatchet.

• I can easily call up reports on not only a per-project basis, but also across all my projects - so it's easy to see how I'm splitting my time between task types, ie. it helps me keep tabs on myself, as well as my client work.

iRatchet has a couple more features, (such as being able to set 4 different tax rates), but is less straighforward in use. I got going with OfficeTime immediately, everything's obvious and I've only read the manual for the sake of completeness, not because I had to. Not so with iRatchet.

As a web developer with a growing client list, who ducks in and out of different projects, tasks and clients all day long, and doesn't want my flow broken by project management, OfficeTime fulfils my needs perfectly.

As a final comment, the warning it gives me when I've been away from my computer for a time, and the option to keep or dump those minutes, is invaluable.

This really is a superb app and very well conceived. Kudos to the developer.  
(Version 1.3.3)

ALJUK  OMFG! Where have you been all my life? This has to be a prime candidate for most useful mac utility in the universe ever.

Spell check isn't system wide, it's per app, and apps sich as stickies cannot disable it properly, even with the command line or python, so just being able to get rid of the silly red dots display is the way to go, and a godsend!  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  Leopard only? :o(  
(Version 0.8)

ALJUK  Thanks Developer Dave, it's working perfectly again. Judging by all the google traffic there's been on the FF3 issue of late, there will be a lot of happy users out there!  
(Version 3.1)

ALJUK  Here's another:

mp3s of size 3,877,629  
(Version 0.3.3)

ALJUK  Thanks. I'll post any others I come across.  
(Version 0.3.3)

ALJUK  Add to that any .wma size: 3,515,161  
(Version 0.3.3)

ALJUK  Add to that:

any .mov size: 12,101,663  
(Version 0.3.3)

ALJUK  As per usual, there's always some dickhead out to spoil the party. There are fake (generated) files on here, the same as Limewire. Any file with a size of 5,745,425, for instance, is fake, and probably malware for any windoze users...  
(Version 0.3.3)

ALJUK  Stunning! Very slick, wide bandwidth, very fast. Makes Limewire seem positively prehistoric. I am very impressed indeed.  
(Version 0.3.3)

ALJUK  Still completely broken, but the developer continues to advertise it for sale. This app has never worked.  
(Version 1.5.5)

ALJUK  It's no more. The domain is parked.  
(Version 2.3.1)

ALJUK  PPC 10.4.11

I've just converted a couple of albums from wma to mp3. The app was simple to set up, has a slick interface and worked flawlessy. The resultant files are perfect. 10/10.  
(Version 1.40)

ALJUK  Ok, silly me! I was deluded (and now it seems like I'm having a conversation with myself on here lol...) - this does NOT work for me with FF3! New Firefox bookmarks are NOT appearing in AllBookmarks. Unfortunately this makes this otherwise excellent app useless for me.

If the developer is reading this, I'd love to know if you'll be updating the app soon to make it compatible with FF3?  
(Version 3.0)

ALJUK  An indispensible app but way too many updates. It seems like everytime I open it it goes off on a 5 minute download spree...  
(Version 2.8.3b3)

ALJUK  This now works perfectly!  
(Version 1.7.3)

ALJUK  My mistake - IT IS working with FF3! (it just needed a refresh...)  
(Version 3.0)

ALJUK  It's not working with Firefox 3!  
(Version 3.0)

ALJUK  Butler handles bookmarks differently to this app - it keeps them separated by browser, whereas this app aggregates them, orders them alphabetically, and opens them in your default browser as opposed to the browser in which the bookmark was set. Yes, Butler can be customised, but this app is far quicker and more useful "out of the box" for bookmark aggregation. And since Butler is soon to become a commercial app and newer versions will not be PPC compatible, AllBookmarks very much has its place. I am a big Butler fan, but AllBookmarks p***es all over it for bookmark aggregation.  
(Version 3.0)

ALJUK  Yes, new version works perfectly! Thanks.  
(Version 1.3.8)

ALJUK  Previous versions worked great, latest version doesn't work at all. It won't even load.  
(Version 1.3.7)

ALJUK  I like the sound of this, but no 10.4 support? Shame...  
(Version 0.8.5)

ALJUK  I had another go with this, but frankly it's still disappointing. It's so nearly a great app, but STILL no menubar integration, and it doesn't even support javascript, let only Ruby, ASP etc. Having to position the app window on top of the app you want place a snippet into and drag and drop is clunky and annoying. I look forward to future developments, but for the moment I'll stick with iSnip (it's free and does the job better). All the bells and whistles in the world mean little if the basic functionality is incomplete.  
(Version 1.2)

ALJUK  In the end I went with iSnip, which is perfect for my needs (snippets of web development code, ordered by language, which I can drop into whatever editor I'm using with a single click from a dropdown menu in the OSX menu bar). However I've noticed there's an update to Code Collector, so I'm going to check it out again. The two apps you mentioned are really abbreviation expanders and unsuitable for my requirement, but cheers for reply.  
(Version 1.2)

ALJUK  Obviously useful, however, the lack control over sentences per paragraph / word-count is a significant drawback.  
(Version 1.2)

ALJUK  Extremely useful! Many thanks!  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  Is there a joint / roach option for those of us whose smoking doesn't involve tobacco?  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  This app needs:

1) syntax colouring/highlighting

2) soft line-wrap

3) the ability to paste into the top open app

4) toolbar integration

With these features it would be a winner, but for now isnip is a better bet for me. I look forward to further development!  
(Version 1.0.1b)

ALJUK  Awesome. A brilliant development solution. Very flexible, virtual hosts, and the ability to serve up sites for clients to see and test straight from my laptop. Extremely impressed, straight 5 *****.  
(Version 1.7)

ALJUK  "MAMP will not serve sites outside of itself"

Incorrect. MAMP Pro does.  
(Version 1.7)

ALJUK  This is without doubt the most unstable app I've ever used, which is a shame, as the premis is great. The one time in 20 that it doesn't crash it works well and is very useful, but the other 19 times when it does crash render it unuseable.

It doesn't seem to crash at anything specific - I'll try to open a folder of fonts and it'll crash. I keep trying, and, 5 minutes of effort later, maybe it'll open them. Then it'll sit there for another few minutes "updating", before finally, maybe, displaying some fonts.

More agonising than pulling one's own teeth, frankly, and in need of some proper development.

OS10.4.10 PPC  
(Version 1.2)

ALJUK  Surface??? Pardon me while I have a good laugh at that... I guess I prefer the ergonomics of a proper computer - if I want to sit around a big-ass table covered in smudgy fingerprints and give myself shoulder tension I'll time-travel back to the 70's for a game of Space Invaders.  
(Version 1.4)

ALJUK  This app is awesome. I'm a web developer and can't tell you how useful this is to me. Sometimes it's the simplest things...

If I could request one feature, it would be syntax colouring for different coding languages. But really, that's just an aesthetic consideration.

Keep up the good work.  
(Version 1.4)

ALJUK  It looks VERY pretty, but drops its streaming constantly. In direct comparisons with FStream and iTunes (which both functioned perfectly and didn't even rebuffer) it was unlistenable.  
(Version 1.1.4)

ALJUK  I can't get 1.2 to run, have gone back to 1.1. Also, the link to more info on 1.2 on the blog is empty.  
(Version 1.2)

ALJUK  It's pretty cool. What I think it could do with is OS menu bar integration and the ability to drop snippets into the uppermost app., then it would be awesome.  
(Version 1.1.2)

ALJUK  The primary prerequisite of any file renaming / renumbering app must be that it renames / renumbers files in the correct (original) sequence.

Unfortunately, even though this app has a multitude of well thought out features and capabilities, it fails totally at the first hurdle.

Drag your files into the pane for processing, and... they appear (and are therefore processed) out of numerical sequence.

I've just resequenced a load of images for a website with this app, and although it did a lovely job of stripping prefixes etc., it completely screwed up the renumbering. Thankfully I hadn't trusted it and had backed up before trying it out.

Until this is fixed this app is a non-starter.  
(Version 1.5.1)

ALJUK  $229??? Are you insane? There are websites that produce this information for free!  
(Version 3.5.2)

ALJUK  It would be great if a developer would actually write a mahjong game, instead of all these mahjong-"like" games... OSX is crying out for one. I'd actually pay for it.  
(Version 1.1.2)

ALJUK  This app is totally cool! I love it!  
(Version 1.3.1)

ALJUK  This would be very useful to me if it had the ability to export as swf.  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  To be honest I'm at a loss with this app. It just doesn't seem to do anything...  
(Version 1.1.1)

ALJUK  Have you found anything for OSX that does all that? I agree they're all very useful features.  
(Version 2.8)

ALJUK  @Mike Ratt -

what extra features do you think Transmit needs? What things do you miss?  
(Version 2.8)

ALJUK  It would be great if a developer would actually make a proper mahjong game for a change, rather than endless versions of solitaire...  
(Version 4.1)

ALJUK  Exactly.  
(Version 2.8)

ALJUK  I'm sure this does its job well, but why not simply learn how to hand-code proper semantic markup? It's not exactly rocket science...  
(Version 5.2)

ALJUK  This is a very cool little app and is now firmly in my toolbox. Thx.  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  It's a good idea, but... the trouble with feeding from Amazon is the relisting of old albums. You can remove them, but when you do a new search they appear again.

Also the colour scheme is gross.

It's a good idea though, and these criticisms aren't meant harshly. I look forward to future developments.  
(Version 2.0.4)

ALJUK  I fail to see how the obvious efficiency benefits of a two-pane file management system, and the lack of a dedicated sync function between local and remote website directories in Cyberduck constitute a "mental block"?

What I'm USED to is trying out a variety of apps to see which does a job best, and as a busy webmaster, I would say that in this area, Cyberduck falls short and could benefit with some improvement.

Perhaps you prefer to drag finder windows around your desktop, perhaps that's what you're USED to, but there are more efficient ways of working.  
(Version 2.8)

ALJUK  That's exactly my point. It works great that way, but working that way is fiddly. Having two panes makes synchronisation between local and remote locations really efficient and means you don't have to rearrange your desktop / finder windows. Being able to add both panes' directory locations (both local and remote) as a favourite (as in Transmit) is a huge plus for anyone doing regular site work. i think Cyberduck's a good product, but a second pane would make it a great one.  
(Version 2.8)

ALJUK  Dreadful.

Photoshop integration has vanished, and Bridge no longer "sees" stored Photoshop actions, so batch processing is now non-functional.

Stock Photos doesn't work at all.

Bridge initiates an internet connection when you do ANYTHING (eg. click on a local image, open a folder) which slows it to a crawl.

CS2 Bridge worked fine, CS3 Bridge is total crap. And to make things even worse it can't be uninstalled without deleting the entire suite.  
(Version 2.1)

ALJUK  It works very well BUT it only has one pane - a glaring oversight which makes it far too fiddly for any serious webmaster. I would use this otherwise, but as it is I'll be sticking with Transmit / Fugu.  
(Version 2.8b1)

ALJUK  Excellent. The best thing about it is the way that when you load up a favourite, the local directory is included as well as the remote directory (so no wasting time navigating to your local copy of your site). The sync function works perfectly too, as does SFTP.  
(Version 3.6)

ALJUK  Works very well. The one improvement that would make this app perfect for me would be if it could remember a local directory path when I set a remote location as a favourite. So then when I log on to one of my servers, my local directory is also loaded and I'm ready to go.  
(Version 1.2)

ALJUK  Brilliant. Very useful for web designers who are into standards compliancy and accessibility (ie. who are into designing properly). Well done.  
(Version 1.0.3)

ALJUK  I don't get it... why would one need to "refresh" a finder window?  
(Version 1.2.2)

ALJUK  What kind of Spanish is this app? Castiliano? South American?  
(Version 1.5.2)

ALJUK  Why not just change the system settings? (that's what they're there for). It won't cost you anything either...  
(Version 2.5.2)

ALJUK  Why has development stopped? Why is there no OSX version??? Come on somebody!  
(Version 3.0.3)

ALJUK  "There was a time where the developer had been in transition as he was relocating..." Really MUSI? And how would you know?

The problem with so many of these "reviews" is that one never really knows who's writing them. Personally I would put money on the last two having been written by the developer as a crude attempt to bolster his somewhat tainted image. This is the same company who promote Master Of My Domain, a bug-infested piece of non-functional s/w for which they are still taking money, not offering refunds, backup, or any customer service whatsoever.

Tread with caution.  
(Version 3.9.9)

ALJUK  This app is STILL completely non-functional. It is not fit for purpose and does not work in any way, shape or form.

How can any "developer" have the audacity to re-list this broken pile of crap and try to obtain payment for it?

It's tantamount to fraud.  
(Version 1.5)

ALJUK  It's nothing like Picturesque. What planet are you on?  
(Version 1.0.4)

ALJUK  @factoryjoe - I don't get it... what exactly is your point? It sounds like you'd rather pay for a commercial app than get the same functionality for free. And are you quite sure you understand the meaning of "irony"? lol

While you're at it, check the reviews for monolingual - they're horrendous.  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  I have quite a few apps' details stored now, and RapidoSeial has slowed right down. It's using over 130MB RAM and choking my machine for a good few minutes while it boots. Any chance of speeding this app up a bit?  
(Version 1.5)

ALJUK  Everything QS can give me Butler gives me quicker and easier, and in a more organised and task-friendly fashion. Makes Quicksilver seem positively archaic.  
(Version 4.1.2)

ALJUK  Ok, now it works great! Way better streaming than itunes! Good work, thanks.  
(Version 1.2.8)

ALJUK  @ Robert - yes, the up/down arrow beginning/end of line thing! I'd totally forgotten to mention that - it's so annoying!

Thanks for the tips, will look into those.  
(Version 2.0.0.6)

ALJUK  After a couple of weeks I'm still loving it. A minor niggle is that with some apps it doesn't extract the version number (although this can be entered manually). Also it can be a bit slow to boot (I presume because it's decrypting the database), but that's not a big deal. I use it constantly.  
(Version 1.5)

ALJUK  It doesn't work.

Initial setup - it went through the basic connection test ok, but then when I attempted to "connect to server" it hung and required force-quit. After that it wouldn't even start up and required force-quit on every try. So I deleted prefs etc and tried again. Exactly the same non-result. Tried different sites, it couldn't connect to any of them. Reinstalled from scratch - still doesn't connect. No firewall etc. in the way. Absolutely non-functional, exactly the same as the previous version.

PPC G4 1.33GHz 1GB RAM OS10.4.10

ALJUK  It's a widget, so how can you drop a file onto it? As soon as you touch a file on the desktop or in a folder all the widgets vanish.  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  I've just tested it on a 10-song LP. It can only find 4 of them even though all 10 are easily available on the site (lyricwiki.org). But at least those 4 weren't Billy Jean. This will be a useful app once it works.  
(Version 2.4)

ALJUK  This (cr)app has completely destroyed the bookmarking functionality of both Firefox and Safari. The bookmark manager in Safari is no longer accessible, and Firefox has lost the bookmarks toolbar functionality altogether. Anyone prepared to pay money for this needs their head examined.  
(Version 4.2.12)

ALJUK  It's a nice idea, but doesn't work properly. My source was Camino, which I attempted to sync with Firefox, Opera and Safari, by making those 3 browsers' bookmarks identical to Camino. None of the syncs was satisfactory. Firefox and Opera ended up with empty bookmarks toolbars. Safari got the correct bookmarks in the toolbar, but they had been rearranged alphabetically (not what I wanted). When I checked Camino (the source), its bookmarks toolbar had also been rearranged, even though I had not selected it to be touched. Extremely annoying. Now I have some work ahead of me to reorder Safari and Camino and reimport Firefox and Opera bookmarks manually. A total pain in the ass.  
(Version 4.2.12)

ALJUK  I'd be interested to know if you can define which set an image is to be placed in, and if the app receives a list of tags from your flickr account for you to select from prior to uploading?  
(Version 2.3.1)

ALJUK  It's not working. It quits itself every time.  
(Version 1.2.8)

ALJUK  A very useful tool. Works perfectly.  
(Version 3.7)

ALJUK  @sjk - "Who's claiming or implying that it is? A "long-running major complaint" (the quote your reply started off responding to) doesn't mean that it's "the main (or only) current complaint."

I quite agree, it's neither the main complaint, nor the only one. I didn't imply it was.  
(Version 2.0.0.5)

ALJUK  I didn't "slag off" anything. I'm sure your tool works well, but it doesn't do anything that isn't available from the tools that come with the system, which are neither inadequate, nor complicated.  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  OSX already has this built in. It's a standard feature. Why try to reinvent the wheel?  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  I should mention that the text rendering in FF3 is an improvement at least. It now looks crisp and solid, similar to Safari. The rendering in FF2 is appalling, especially for italics.  
(Version 2.0.0.5)

ALJUK  "Josh Aas... is addressing a long-running major complaint... the lack of native Aqua-styled widgets for Web page form controls"

This isn't the main (or only) current complaint. FF2 suffers from horrendous memory / RAM usage issues, is bloated, and mind-numbingly slow. Neither are the optimised developer builds any improvement, and FF is now the slowest browser on OSX by a long way. For Web2.0 sites heavy on the javascript and ajax it's just hopeless.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a committed FF user and have been since its earliest inception, but the way things are at the moment I've switched to Camino. The difference is like getting off a tractor and into a Ferrari. I've tried FF3, both the official pre-release, and the optimised nightly builds, and it's no different.

I really hope the Mozilla team can get their act together on this browser, otherwise Safari is going to wipe the floor with them, and personally I miss the developer's toolbar, StumbleUpon and the del.icio.us extension, but right now, for me anyway, it's unusable. I couldn't give a **** about aqua styling, I just want a standards compliant browser that works and is quick about it.  
(Version 2.0.0.5)

ALJUK  This is an absolutely stunning app. Don't get it confused with GTD, that's not what this is. Think of it as a multiple-topic cross-referenced diary and notebook, which can include any kind of link or reference (like webpages, other documents, audio files, movie clips), for organising your information and ideas. For pure GTD, there are dedicated apps, such as the brilliant iGTD, which can go hand in hand with this. Once again, this app is stunning, very straightforward, and extremely clever.  
(Version 2.5.3)

ALJUK  This is a great little app, just what I was looking for. Password protected, encrypted database, does the preliminary work for you, brilliant handling of icons. Very slick.  
(Version 1.5)

ALJUK  Lousy, unfortunately, and from a visit to the developer's site it appears that no progress has been made for at least half a year.

1. It took multiple attempts, quits and restarts to input any site data.

2. It kept losing site data, text mysteriously vanishing where I had filled it in.

3. It kept quitting itself: "an exception of NilObjectException..." etc.

4. The WhoIs lookup didn't work at all at first. Subsequently only incomplete details were fetched. ("Registrar Unknown"), even though the info is all available at WhoIs. Didn't fetch any expiration dates nor contact details.

5. The WhoIs info sidebar arbitrarily filled with random HTML

6. The data fields aren't lockable, they're always active (not that the data stays for long anyway)

7. 50% of the time site data was lost when the app was quit and restarted.

8. Scanning Sites for any more than one site resulted in a hang and a force quit.

This could be a great app with some development. I'm disappointed as it was something I was looking for.  
(Version 1.4)

ALJUK  It doesn't work.

Yet another app which claims to get rid of application associated files but doesn't do a thorough job. It left preference files behind on all the installations with which I tested it.  
(Version 1.0.1)

ALJUK  Did you make a typo? 40.000 €/HR is the same as 40 €/HR...  
(Version 3.8)

ALJUK  I very rarely pay for software, but this one's a no-brainer. An excellent app and in use constantly.  
(Version 2.4.8)

ALJUK  Very cool.

It would be nice if it could open up local pages (ie. html pages on my hard-drive) while I'm developing them, without my needing to put them into my Home folder Sites folder and switch on Personal Web Sharing, but that's a small gripe.

Looking forward to future developments!  
(Version 1.1)

ALJUK  You obviously didn't look very hard then did you...  
(Version 2.0d14)

ALJUK  This app is superb! It's amazing how something so simple can be so jaw-droppingly useful... I freed up 6GB on my 40GB iBook the first time I ran it, on superfluous spuff that I didn't have any idea was eating up that much room.

This app is a "must have".  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  It doesn't work.

It hangs, freezes or crashes on every attempt to connect to a server. I tried multiple times on different sites and servers. I restarted my machine, deleted every other ftp client etc., still nothing. Had to force quit on every attempt.

ALJUK  It does what Filevault and the keychain do? Er... But we have... Filevault and the keychain to do those things. So... why_do_we_need_this???

ALJUK  Is the SMS free, or does the recipient get billed?

ALJUK  Hi,

does anyone know if this app works properly with Opera?

Thanks.

ALJUK  Display of web pages is very flaky. Some pages are displayed properly, others appear minus their CSS styling. It seems quite arbitrary which do and which don't - even from the same source site.

ALJUK  I've been trying to set this app up to my liking for a cpl of hours now. It's promising, but buggy to the point of being unusable for me.

What I liked about this over NetNews is the "boxes" (basically, category tabs). This is a plus for me, as I want totally separate sections for News, People, Web Development, Flickr feeds etc. I ran into a snag whilst trying to change the order of these boxes. They simply won't rearrange without the app hanging and requiring a force-quit, or when I quit and restart the app they come back in the old (wrong) arrangement. Then, when I finally set up all the boxes I needed by adding them in order, some of them were off the screen. This was ok (I thought) since a couple of scroll arrows appeared. But... they don't work, rendering several categories inaccessible. Likewise, if the screen is shrunk, the scroll arrows disappear altogether. This may just be an oversight, but to me it's a massive one, and negated the whole reason I might be tempted to switch from NetNews, which is rock solid and has never hung on me. Even NetNewsLite (free) is better at this point. If this aspect of the app were sorted out, I'd be tempted to switch.

ALJUK  This is a brilliant little App, and extremely useful. I love it.  
(Version 1.0)

ALJUK  This app is brilliant, and the developer rightly deserves the praise he's getting. I use it constantly. It's rock solid and does exactly what it says on the tin.  
(Version 1.4.4)

ALJUK  Useless. It crashes and quits on every refresh, and the "help" is in Japanese. Total waste of time.  
(Version 1.5b)

ALJUK  "If one app can bring down the whole OS so easily, imagine what a virus writer could do.. scary."

So go get a PC then, and good luck (you'll need it).

ALJUK  Limewire used to be great a few years ago, but now it's lame. It's not very good at finding files and the network is swamped with fakes. You're better off using a torrent a lot of the time.   
(Version 4.13.4)

ALJUK  In time this will be a great game, but at the moment it's obviously in beta and very clunky. Instructions would be good as I'm not a submariner by trade and it took me a while to figure out what I should be doing. The radar map needs some explanation, and although I found I could zoom out, I was unable to find any way to zoom back in and had to quit. When I finally managed to torpedo a ship, the game crashed and quit. The music is great but there needs to be some way to turn it off. The GUI is brilliant and the whole game has a great feel. I can't wait for future developments.
