Quicksilver 1.0b53

Type: Comments

Date: 14 Dec 2007 15:01

I don't know why this is, but my copy of Quicksilver, downloaded from the Blacktree website says it is version 54. Is this a recent upgrade?

An awesome program. I use it for storing and creating passwords and it works like a charm. For a password program to work, several things have to be there: (1) it must be cross-platform (since you have to carry your passwords with you); (2) it cannot prevent you from exporting your data; (3) it has to be open-source, so the crypto can be analyzed, and finally (IMHO) (4) it needs to have a easy to use interface. KeePassX does it all.

Demeter 1.2.2

Does anybody know of a way to disable the automatic opening of pdf and dmg files after downloading?

Demeter 1.2.2

Wow -- this browser is fast! Keep up the good work, it shows incredible promise. Although I like Shiira very much, it still suffers from some issues that truly annoy me. I will be using Demeter from now on.

Skim 0.6.1

Yes, he is right -- it *used* to work. It think this feature would be a good request for the developers...

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.47

Wow! Thanks for the tip. This beta version is really awesome, no comparison. I take back my words, Adobe...

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.47

It is just unbelievable that with each release, Adobe is unable to improve on Flash. Yes, it is still that slow and weird plug-in. Maybe I'm too na�ve to expect actual performance improvements with new versions...

I will join the group of very satisfied users of this app and throw in my 2 cents. This is an awesome app: it is simple, reliable, and unobtrusive. I use it all the time, not only the alarm, but the timer. Previous to that, I was using Minuteur as a timer, but Minuteur is a whopping 24MG program for such a simple function. Thank you for the app and for the time you dedicate to it.

You guys are great! Thank you for the wonderful app!

Skim 0.5

It seems PDFView is not being developed anymore, which is a pity. But you can tweak the defaults on Skim to open pdfs just like PDFView did.

Sogudi 0.4.6

I think that his comment makes sense because it is informative. It took me a long time (and several installs-reinstalls later) to figure out why Safari 3's address bar and search bar were not working. It was because of Sogudi (which, incidentally, is a wonderful plug-in).

Shimo 1.0.1

Type: Troubleshooting

Date: 18 Jun 2007 11:40

Shimo 1.0 was working perfectly for me. When I installed this new version, it asks me for several confirmations (that I don't know) in order to connect. I don't really know what to do, since I used it because of its simplicity.

Punakea 0.3

This is a wonderful program. It gets a simple idea right and there is nothing better than tagging your files. This last version is crashing sometimes when I try to tag many files at once, but nothing major. Highly recommended.

Google Desktop 1.0.3.301

I have the same experience -- it is much faster than before, especially the indexing after booting the computer.

Nocturne 1.0.2

Does anybody know if running this app for long periods of time wastes less energy?

This is an incredible piece of software -- it is extremely useful! It doesn't get in the way and you can add all the search engines you want. The killer feature for me is the ability to use it completely from the keyboard, including changing search engines. Gets a solid A+.

Google Desktop 1.0.0.155

It seems people get upset because their computers get sluggish while GDesktop indexes their files for some time; they have no patience and then trash it. Some people are bashing GDesktop without even trying it! I don't understand why having the option of using GDesktop is bad -- these apps are tools for the job: if they work for you, great. If they don't, uninstall them and move on.

I've been using GDesktop since it was released and I find it a joy -- in fact, it became indispensable. It is NOT a replacement to Quicksilver (I still use it and love it), but it is much better and faster than Spotlight. The snippets help a lot when searching for files, as well as being able to search my web history and gmail. It is unobtrusive and the shortcut works perfectly.

I hope that in future versions, Google integrates GDesktop with its other apps such as Docs, GCalendar, and maybe Reader. Thank you for the app!

VoodooPad Lite 3.1.4

Type: Comments

Date: 16 Mar 2007 19:07

VoodooPad is just incredible! I've been using this Lite Version for a while and I wish I could buy the full version -- I'm a poor grad student, so... =(

I use it mainly as a journal for personal notes and random thoughts. I love the free form that VP allows, never trying to impose a certain way to its user. It is a "zen" application, it adapts to you.

I strongly recommend it.

Caffeine 1.0

Type: Comments

I have been using Jiggler for the same actions, but I believe Caffeine is better: it has an unobtrusive icon in the menu bar and there is nothing to configure (unlike Jiggler). You just click on it when you want to activate and de-activate it. Excellent.

PDFView 0.11.2

Type: Comments

This is the app I have been waiting for a long time. Adobe Reader is extremely slow and Preview never showed pdfs the way I wanted. PDFView is now my default pdf viewer. I like it very much.
