Tweetie

LEWISH  While they obviously want to sell licenses, the unlicensed version is 100% exactly the same aside from some unobtrusive ads now and then. I have a feeling the license cost is a bit prohibitive intentionally - finding the most profitable intersection of ad revenue and license revenue.

Stronghold Updater
Mar 15 2009

LEWISH  I had the same problem - updater would hang and never update.

Then I realized I was attached to multiple network drives. It wasn't just searching my local computer, it was searching everything. Disconnected them, and then the whole process took under a minute.

TimeLog
Jan 15 2008

LEWISH  For pure time tracking, TimeLog is second to none. That's all there is to say about that.

Unfortunately, I need more than just time tracking, as I'm sure many professionals do. A simple integrated invoicing solution will get me to switch.

Billings doesn't do any one thing the way I want it to, but it does do everything and it does it acceptably well. As much as I want it to, TimeLog just doesn't seem designed for use in a business, and I can't really figure out what other purpose it might have.

Notae

LEWISH  Completely loved Notae until I upgraded to Leopard... unfortunately it runs incredibly slow now. Hoping for a fix, but dev site doesn't have any news.

Notae
Dec 12 2007

AHKNIGHT  Notae runs slow because of a bug in Leopard's Spotlight service, unfortunately. I have located the cause and filed a bug with Apple.

What happens is that every time you change a note, Notae loads some data from disk (the NIB for the new note type). When that happens, Spotlight hits the disk hard for a little while and then comes back. So, unfortunately, it's nothing I can really control on my end.

It's bugging me too, surely. And for some people 10.5.1 helped a little, so be sure to update to that.

LEWISH  I was glancing at software titles but did a doubletake when I saw the short description attached to this one. The name is so misleading not only is it funny, it makes me think it's on purpose.

HARLAN LEWIS  The link to download here at MacUpdate has been updated, and will now download ProLCD 1.1.1 as a standalone guiKit.

Sorry about the confusion!

HARLAN LEWIS  The download on this page currently points to version 1.1, not 1.1.1. Sorry for the confusion.

To get the latest, (1.1.1), download this. A brand new blue variant is also

WIBS  It's still a long way from being anything compared to ShapeShifter (and quite frankly I'm not sure what real advantages Duality will have over SS even when it's done), but the more variety the better I suppose.

Shiira
May 26 2004
****½

WIBS  On my dual 450 G4 w/ 1GB ram, there is a noticeable difference in speed between Shiira and Safari. It's really friggen fast.

I don't use most Safari features aside from tabs, and Shiira does those almost exactly the same (maybe slightly better). It can use Safari's bookmarks as its own or add them to its list, it has a google search box in the address bar, and did I mention it's really really fast?

The only thing really keeping me from using it is that it is definitely not a pretty browser, and I admit I'm a sucker for aesthetics. Applying metallifizer to it helps a bit, except that the address bar/bookbar bar text doesn't take on etched text colors and can be a bit hard to read.

SeaMonkey

WIBS  Safari is also only 2.9MB because the entire rendering engine it uses is installed with the rest of the OS, whereas Mozilla has to install and use its own.

And as far as web development goes, gecko is widely regarded as the most complete and most accurate rendering engine.

HARLAN LEWIS  If you're implying that I wrote those two reviews, then send an email to MacUpdate and try to get them revoked. They won't be, because I didn't write them, but you can always try.

Apple X11
Oct 28 2003

ANONYMOUS  In Panther the X11 app in Utilities said it was version 1.0. Then I download this, "upgraded" it through the package installer, and now I have a spiffy new X11 app at version 1.0.

,,,so what's the difference exactly?

Audion X

****.

ANONYMOUS  Only two things not to love:

1) doesn't play mp4/AAC files (I was going to switch from iTunes to Audion as my primary player, but too much of my music has been ripped in AAC format that it's not worth it)

2) crashes. usually it's only when you're messing with large playlists, but every once in a while it just quits on its own for no reason... happens in the middle of songs, happens when editing playlists/id3 tags, happens without any rhyme or reason

ANONYMOUS  i'm the guy who just wrote a review who switched over from Adium a few weeks ago.

anyway, my bad on not being able to connect - the password just didn't get transferred to 3.0 correctly. as for crashing when it quits though... well it still does that.
