FYI... this is a nice program for getting mp3s off your iPod. It's shareware for your first 10 uses and $15 after that.

iPod access - http://www.drewfindley.com/findleydesigns/ipodaccess/

I had to use this to fix my parents' iPods - they had their music spread across six computers between them, Mac and PC. Worth paying the shareware price instead of moving a few at a time.

Wiretap's pretty nice; are there any apps that record streaming audio to mp3?

I know what you're thinking, and yes it can do folders full of aliases, in case you really need to scratch that "virtual mix tape" itch. Lately I've just been throwing random folders in there, full of Word documents and applications, just to see if it can find any sound to play. It doesn't like it when I do that.

MenuCalendarClock is an iCal compatible menu calendar and a configurable menu clock. Besides an elegant and streamlined look, it offers many compelling features to make it the ultimate calendaring utility for the Mac.

Even the non paid version is handy and fun. The ability to sync addressbook birthdays to calendar rules since one of my social networking site lets me export all my friends.

does anyone know any decent free/cheap budgeting software for my mac? or should i just set something up in the openoffice excel thingy?

need to figure out where my money's going, so i can save some. could do it with a pencil, but it seems like it might be more fun to actually do it on my computer.

Anyone know of a utility that'll resize batches of images? Whenever I want to post or send photos, I've gotta shrink 'em and take 'em down to 72 dpi. Times like these, I wish I could just drag-and-drop them onto some handy little app on my desktop.

Stephen: Try QuickImageCM, it is nearly dreamy. There's also something called iResize or iSize or whatever which does what you want.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 01:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh for the days of the hopelessly fiddly DeBabelizer.

Photoshop will do it too, just make an action and boom. I often want to sharpen images a bit if they've been shrunk, and it's nice to have the full-on fiddle of Unsharp Mask to add to the batch process.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 02:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, yeah, that's how I actually do it, but I wasn't sure PS counted as a "hoonja-doonja".

PS might not be able to create little drag-n-droplets for its batch processes, which is what Stephen X wants.. but then again maybe it can, I've never tried to do it. DeBab used to be able to do that.

QuickImagesCM works like a dreamsicle; thanks to all. I can now photobore my friends with nothing to stop me!

Does anyone have a good weather monitor applet?

― Dr. Eldon Tyrell (ex machina), Monday, 21 March 2005 19:19 (nineteen years ago) link

On Mac OS X, you can run XFree86 from the Darwin text console or in parallel with Aqua. To get to the text console in Mac OS X you need to logout and type ``>console'' as the user name. This will shutdown Core Graphics and bring up the console login prompt.

HANDY!

What's wrong with the Weather widget in Konfabulator?

Is there a way to assign multiple search engine options to the Safari search box (ala Firefox)? Being able to search Ebay without going there is handy.

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 04:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Konfabulator sucks

― Dr. Eldon Tyrell (ex machina), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 06:17 (nineteen years ago) link

Multiple search for Safari

My favourite at the mo is MenuCalender Clock - gives me date and time, and loads my calender from ical. Brilliant.

aka you have to pay for any of the useful features?

well you normally have to pay for the "useful features" of Ableton Live too Jon but since when did that stop you?

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 22 March 2005 16:43 (nineteen years ago) link

konfabulator is a nice enough environment to "roll your own" for a lot of things - i adapted an RSS reader widget to improvise a server monitor for some bespoke processes we have going on our x-serve

― Jaunty Alan (Alan), Tuesday, 22 March 2005 16:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Tom, I don't have money for software. This problem will be remedied when I have "a real job".
