VelaClock
Jul 17 2007

SCOTTYO  This is a comment about VelaClock in general: I am really pleased with this product. It does what it is designed to do, and meets my needs very well. We live in Tokyo (where my wife's relatives are); our children are in KY, U.S.A. and Canberra, Australia; and my own parents and relatives live in Winnipeg, Canada. I can keep track of "Now" for all these folks in a glance with VelaClock.

This is a comment on the latest update: though it took a bit longer than I hoped, I have received free an update that works well with Safari beta 3.02, as promised.

I heartily recommend VelaClock.

BTW, a feature I would love to see (in the non-Deluxe version) is the ability to input a future time/date for any of the active time zones and see it reflected in all the others, as a way to simplify scheduling of iChats, phone calls, etc.

SCOTTYO  This is one of my favourite examples of a"perfect app": it's unobtrusive when you're not using it, but springs into action effortlessly when you summon it up. The sparse feature set is very well chosen (though I still hope for scaling, a la Meander, someday), and the operational model—for example not becoming foreground app till you click on the Measure panel—makes it a pleasure to use.

SCOTTYO  Unfortunately there seem to be 2 major flaws with this program AFAIAC:

- with the Fr-En, En-Fr dictionaries enabled, I typed garcon (no cedilla on the c, but should work anyway, I'd expect), pressed Return - the word that it defined was garage, not garcon. Looks like even if I fully type a word, I need to pick it from the list that shows up when typing. I don't know of any other Mac program that does this

- the web page with instructions, etc is almost unreadable, tiny font with gray text on a black background. Didn't feel like copy/pasting it to TextEdit and manipulating till it was readable. Threw the program away instead.

ROBERT  Wow, really? I recommend SuperCal.

For me the real legibility problem isn't the dark motif at all, but his choice of Courier and a very wide fixed column of text. Then there's the weak English. You'd think someone --and particularly now, a company-- making a translation product would want to nail that.
