CallVantage Dialer - 1.5



After getting CallVantage,I felt that the missing piece was the ability to dial numbers directly from my Mac. Of course, you can use the CallVantage website, but that's not nearly as nice as dialing from Address Book (or, even better, Quicksilver). CallVantage Dialer comes to the rescue by making this possible.

CallVantage Dialer can be used as an Address Book Plug-In, directly from the Script Menu, and via Quicksilver, LaunchBar, or whatever.
What's new in this version:

* Updated for new CallVantage website. Username and password are now stored in the keychain.
* Improved compatibility if Quicksilver and/or Growl are not installed.
* Updated installer and uninstaller.

Shimo - 0.9.8



The initial reason for the development of Shimo was the lousy software-implementation of the Cisco-VPN-Client for MacOS. Shimo wants to do it the MacOS-way: That means to reduce the interface to the important features and integrate it right into the user-interface of the OS. Thus the interaction with this piece of software is absolutely intuitive and self explanatory. Try it out and you will see what we are speaking of...

* simple and intuitive interface
* advanced statistics
* automatic reconnect on wake-up/start-up
* automatic updating to newest version


What's new in this version:

* Drag&Drop for Profiles
* Support for write-protected profiles
* PCF-files are now Shimo's documents
* improved reconnection mechanism
* standard shortcuts (Close, Copy, Paste)

XTrace - 1.1



XTrace allows you to receive trace() data without having to be in the flash IDE. XTrace wraps around a custom socket server I wrote in java that will accept connections via XMLSocket on port 9994. To easily send trace data to the 'trace server' you can use the custom debug class included with the download. After calling debug.initSocket("127.0.0.1"); all data passed to debug.trace() will be send through a socket and given to the 'trace server'. XTrace will display the data received from the 'trace server' in a floating window.


What's new in this version:

* CMD+Shift+C now clears the log window
* XTrace now automatically starts the trace server
* Added the Sparkle (auto updating) framework
* Added the ability to disable wrapping in the log window
* Added the option for window auto-close (log window will close when the SWF it is connected to closes)
* New icon thanks to Ale!
* Log message coloring/formatting thanks to Daniel Giribet
* Compiled & tested as a universal binary

Subliminal Message - 4.3.0



Subliminal Message helps you explore the idea of subliminal messages.

There are three modes: Text, Picture and Both. Set the mode. Set the on-screen time (1 - 50 ms), the time between flashes (2 - 30 sec), the message font darkness/picture darkness color, bold on/off and size and let the program run in the background. Use the default messages or enter your own messages. All settings and messages are saved between sessions.

Because of its power and influence at the subliminal level, this effect is not allowed on TV in many countries.


What's new in this version:

Version 4.3 adds a third mode (Both) which flashes both text and pictures.

Metronome - 1.6

Metronome is a free metronome for Mac OS X.

Sync-Hole - 0.8

Sync-Hole lets you fix your movies that are out of sync. You open a movie, play it until you detect an asynchronism, then tell the app wether you think the video or the audio is ahead, and by how much. Sync-Hole adjusts either the audio offset or the video framerate as appropriate. Then you set an "anchor" before and after the scene that is synchronized, and move on. Sync-Hole only changes the framerate in between anchors. It is basically a fancy wrapper for the Quicktime Framework function, ScaleTrackSegment. Other little features allow you to jump forward or back by a certain distance, or to jump to the spot half-way between the two most distant "anchors". Important bug: It seems that the program freezes if you set the playhead to a point in the movie where there's audio but no video. I don't know what causes this, or how to fix it. The source code is available, so maybe someone out there can fix the problem!


What's new in this version:

* Universal Binary
* "Save" now available in addition to "Save As"
* Now voluntary donationware (to charity)

CLIX - 1.8u



CLIX (Command Line Interface for OS X) is a Cocoa application that harnesses the power of Unix. It's perfect for the pros and can be helpful for the noobs too.

The CLIX package includes a starter database file with close to 1,500 system commands for investigating your system status, for cleaning out junk files, for getting at esoteric secret settings in your most used applications - and more.

And most importantly, CLIX is infinitely extensible: you can add to it at any time, in any way you please - add new commands, new command categories, new command database files, and so on.

And unlike other systems, CLIX is 100% 'WYSISYG' (what you see is what you get): it's exactly the command lines you would use at a terminal if you were so inclined. So sometime you might remember a command or two and try it on your own.

CLIX comes with commands for viewing all your system logs, for cleaning out browser caches, for pruning and fixing 'plist' preference files, for spelunking in root's back yard, for ridding your system of all kinds of junk, for seeing what your virtual memory is up to, what your Netinfo database manager is up to, and on and on.

CLIX also has its own newsletter and forum (www.dotatdot.co.uk/clix/) for in-depth discussion of Unix and CLIX.


What's new in this version:

* Adds further facilities to thwart 'path hijacking'. See http://rixstep.com/2/20070204,00.shtml for further info.

FinancesOSX - 2.2

FinancesOSX (Universal) calculates the value of any one of five parameters for five types of financial calculations: Loans, Investments, Deposits, Withdrawals and Inflation ... given values for the remaining four parameters. An amortization table is provided for loans.

Loans are the conventional installment loans with an initial loan amount to be paid back in regular payments over a fixed period of years at a specific interest rate.

Investments are an initial lump sum that grows over a period of years at a fixed rate, as in the case of investing a lump sum from an inheritance or winning the lottery.

Deposits are regular periodic deposits of a fixed amount into an account that grows at a constant rate over a fixed number of years, such as an investment club or a regular savings plan.

Withdrawals determine how long you can take a periodic fixed amount from an initial lump sum investment at a fixed growth rate before the account is totally depleted, answering the question 'How long will my life-long savings last after I retire?'

Inflation shows the effect of inflation on the purchasing power of a future $ amount in today's $ after a number of years at a estimated annual inflation rate. This provides some perspectives on the question 'What lifestyle will my accumulated savings support at some point in the future?' by bringing the future $ amount back to today's equivalent $ in the context of today's prices.


What's new in this version:

* Added calculation of the effective interest rate when prepaid interest (points) are charged for loans. Points are expressed as a percentage of the original loan amount.
* Added summary rows to the amortization table.The starting payment (row) and the number of payments for each summary are set in the {Preferences ...} menu.
* Made minor improvements to the interface and error trapping.
