iLabel-it CD 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 14 Jun 2008 00:36

A ginormous advertising vehicle. Maybe it works, but I couldn't bear to look at it long enough to find out.

PhotoAcute Studio 2.81 Type: Review Date: 4 Jun 2008 20:01 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Really good stuff. So many useful tools. Among them truly amazing resolution gain, HDR and, my favorite, moving object removal. The documentation is only online, which bugs me for some reason.

AzDGDatingMedium 1.8.3 Type: Comments Date: 3 Jun 2008 14:46

Never dated a medium--do they even date the living?

LinkLite! 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 27 May 2008 11:04

AIR only reports an app as unsigned if, in fact, it is unsigned. Security certificates are supported, so judge the app on the authors' compliance.

pngweasel 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 6 May 2008 01:24

Somehow, I feel much better just knowing that there is, in fact, a weasel.

SmartCSS 1.5 Type: Review Date: 14 Feb 2008 10:04 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Amazing. Will completely hose your current workflow--in all the right ways. Simple to learn and generates clean code from a layout image. It's great.

BootXChanger 1.0.1 Type: Review Date: 12 Feb 2008 14:37 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Works great. The only problem I had was with the documentation stating that the background color should be #BFBFBF. After some trial and error, I ended up with #CACACA. That may spell CACA, but it works for me.

BootXChanger 1.0.1 Type: Comments Date: 12 Feb 2008 14:13

Thank you, I was wondering why my boot image backgrounds were darker that the surrounding screen.

Appster 1.1.4 Type: Review Date: 1 Feb 2008 13:00 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Great idea, but needs more work. Version 1.1.4 seems to fix the crash when exporting problem, so it is now possible to test. Better filtering would be really nice, especially the option to scan only the Applications folder or other, defined directories. Also, there is no way to show applications after the "Hide" button has been clicked (except to trash the prefs). It would be great if a document could be saved and reloaded, and it would be nice to have more control over the HTML output, though this can always be done later... While it's not perfect, I think I can already put it to use. I am looking forward to future versions.

Appster 1.1.4 Type: Comments Date: 1 Feb 2008 12:52

I have a great use for this program: generate an HTML document of apps installed on workstations with short descriptions for students--so they know what tools are available to them.

Job Ticket 1.0b1 Type: Comments Date: 12 Jan 2008 10:21

Not freeware. Quits after five minutes and times out entirely at the end of June '08.

Silverlight 1.0.21115 Type: Comments Date: 31 Dec 2007 23:08

Hmmm, might be cool, but no cross-platform development tools are available. Oops.

Retrospect Express 6.1.138 Type: Review Date: 31 Dec 2007 01:11 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Started out on the Mac platform decades ago. It was great then, but is now hopelessly obsolete and suffering in a PC-developer environment. While the enterprise-class versions of Retrospect are still worth a look, for a single Mac (all the Express version can manage) get the free Carbon Copy Cloner or the worth-every-penny Super Duper! which is a little bit faster.

Audio ADD 1.0b Type: Review Date: 20 Nov 2007 00:57 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

The description is wonderful, but the software needs some work. My biggest beef is that the shortest grains are way too long. A full second is just forever. It would also be great to have all the controls in a single panel rather than spreading them across three, mutually exclusive panels. Sliders or knobs would make setting variables easier too. A bit pricey for what is, at this point, a sound toy.

Schubser 1.0 Type: Review Date: 5 Nov 2007 00:58 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

A crosshair would be nice--now one can only use the edges of the window. Also, keyboard control, with the arrow keys, is strangely missing.

Seth's Autofollow Timer 1.0 Type: Review Date: 31 Oct 2007 01:44 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Basic features work well. Wish one needn't return to the mouse to stop recording a cue sequence. Would love to see cue sequence playback with visual/audio (options!) display. Cue time quantization and/or cue time editing (individual and rolling edits) would be sublime. I think this could be a really handy tool to quickly check cue timing before actually writing the cues. Kind of a timing note pad.

Seth's Autofollow Timer 1.0 Type: Comments Date: 30 Oct 2007 00:47

Very handy!

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.0.1 Type: Comments Date: 24 Oct 2007 12:03

I, too, use SuperDuper! for my backups because of it's speed, but I routinely recommend CCC to students because of their limited beer, er, food budgets. CCC actually makes cleaner backups than SD, but it is slower. Also, the new versioning is very cool, but will soon be rendered obsolete by Leopard's Time Machine anyway.

SmartCSS 1.2 Type: Comments Date: 23 Oct 2007 20:57

Wow, can't wait to try this! If it does half of what it claims, my entire workflow has just been bollocksed. And that's a good thing. Plus, it's free--what's left for SmartCSS Pro to do? Lists, I suppose...

Rudix 2007r4 Type: Hint/Tip Date: 23 Oct 2007 20:15

Most of the libraries included are readily available a la carte. Is the advantage here that these are UB packages? If so, why not offer the individual packages back at the Sourceforge/Raw Meat/Whatever project pages rather than bundle them all together? I imagine most folks, like myself, only need about eight of the 100--or how ever many you've included.

Carbon Copy Cloner 3.0.1 Type: Comments Date: 23 Oct 2007 11:29

Did you make a donation to support the development of this FREEWARE? You could always buy a commercial product--that is, if think they're any better.

DiffMerge 3.1 Type: Review Date: 10 Oct 2007 20:34 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Wow. And free. A very nice diff tool. I only wish I could switch the files back and forth between the source and edit panels iin edit mode with out having to reload the files or open another window or anything. It's picky, but the toolbar icons two diff-erent states should be more readily noticable. More contrast in the icon, or something.

iRatchet 1.7.1 Type: Comments Date: 16 Jul 2007 08:09

Your loss. This is best of breed.

VacuumMail 0.9 Type: Review Date: 19 Mar 2007 16:49 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Fantastic. Does its job quickly and Mail is now noticeably faster launching and navigating around mailboxes. A progress bar and prettier dialogs would be nice, but the 'architectural' design, complete with launchd support, is superb.

PresentYourApps 1.0 Type: Review Date: 13 Feb 2007 01:32 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Nice GUI hack. No problems yet, and very useful. I just wish I could hide the dock in the Finder. It would be nice if the preferences of what to hide were specific to each application instead of global. I found it slightly awkward to be setting global values in a dialog box for a displayed list of things. Could just be me though.

RatHole 3.6 Type: Review Date: 9 Nov 2006 23:39 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Works incredibly well on AIFFs. Needs a couple of usability tweaks: a cancel or abort button and the ability to drop files (at least AIFFs) on the application for compression. With those fixes, and a little speed increase, I'd rate this five stars in all categories. For now, it "only" gets top honors in value and stability.

LunaMenu 1.0 Type: Review Date: 27 Jul 2006 22:07 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Brilliant, as usual. Download it, try it, love it, donate a few bucks. The are only a few possible features left to implement. I'd like more control over the appearance of the Moon Window. By appearance I mean both how it looks and how it gets there.

Lab Tick 0.2 Type: Review Date: 7 Jul 2006 06:14 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

A great idea. Wish it could be "sticky" between restarts or a startup item that would launch, set the key lights to some predetermined level, then quit. Still, it's so handy, I'll be using it as is.

UnPlugged 1.0 Type: Review Date: 27 Mar 2006 08:19 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Independence from Growl and low CPU usage make this the best of the breed. The notification window don't always come to the front though. Repeatedly flashing the screen in addition to an alert dialog would be cool. For the nattering nabobs, sometimes laptops are installed in racks or other settings in which the power connector is not readily visible.

iGallery 1.3 Type: Review Date: 8 Mar 2006 23:28 Features: Ease of Use: Value: Stability:

Pretty sweet. And fast. I _really_ like that it doesn't re-render the entire damn site after every little change. Would like to drop folders on the application for zero-click processing. Thanks.
