iShutDown
Oct 3 2008

MATTETH  Could be useful, but seem unfinished:

- No easy way to enter the countdown time and shutdown/sleep behaviour (you shouldn't have to open preferences)

- Not properly localized: parts of the dialogues show up in italian ;-)

*****

MATTETH  Great idea - and works well.

+ On-site and off-site backup

+ Back-up between friends

+ Restore over local network instead of over the internet

+ Backs up constantly and unobtrusively

+ Cross-platform

-You can't store backup as plain, unencrypted files on local etwork

- Java-based. Sometimes system-intensive. Has become better though.

- It would be great to be able to backup to or restore from a local hardddrive, and then move it to another computer as a backup destination.

MATTETH  Thanks. But I can't change search engine for "Live results" to Google though.

No big deal, though.

MATTETH  The 1.0rc3 sure look good: Nice Facebook integration, improved RSS reader,more online services supported, and it looks better.

The only complaint I have after one day's use is that Yahoo is the main serach engine. I would like to be able to have live results from Google. (InquisitorX on Safari is still better than Flock's search.)

JAHNOTH  You can change the default Search engine in the preferences, under Searching. Just choose Google there. Easy enough to change.

MATTETH  As of 1.8.1, still no support for accented characters - not even in file-paths. A deal-breaker for many of us. I.e unusable for Scandinavians, French, etc.

MATS THORBURN  Saved my day. I needed to keep a script alive on a kiosk-type computer - guaranteed, for a long time.

Still works, after six months. If it crashes, it immediately kicks in again, thanks to launchd and Lingon.
