No blogging in Turkey!

Since my wife and I are having our holiday in Turkey (effectively from now up to July 9th) there will be no updates on this blog.
As soon as I come back there'll be "business as usual"!

So long,
Tobias

iGTD - 1.4.5.1

You are a busy person, aren't you? And there's an easy way to track all things that have to be done... and to get those things done! iGTD takes some concepts from Getting Things Done methodology and makes them easy to understand and use in your every day life. Just divide your tasks by contexts - where they have to be done? At home? At your office? At laptop? At any time you can access the Internet?

LiveCalc - 2.1

This tool calculates an expression, while you are typing it.

If you’d like to know if there’s an error on a receipt, the range of numbers of an RSA-2048-Key, or what’s the result of 3456789^20*765512376^10*(876766776+123456789)^30/(7865-1491), then LiveCalc will be of use to you.

Typing the above expression into a typical calculator might be highly error-prone, and it might fail with the question about the RSA-Key. But with LiveCalc you can insert this expression simply via copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop into the input field, and you’ll get the result immediately and in realtime. If you want to change something in your expression, just change, move and modify it. You will always see live which effect the modification has on the result.

This works far beyond the usual range of numbers. That doesn’t mean that it’s only interesting for “Numeric Freaks.” You can use it for all kinds of everyday calculations, where you would easily lose the overview while typing into a simple calculator, or you like to compare different calculations in different windows.

Lillipot - 1.6

Most Macintosh applications unfortunately create QuickTime files which are not compatible with Windows and not Web friendly (i.e. not recognized by the QuickTime plug-in). To avoid this problem, the movie files must be ' Flattened', which means that the file resource is placed at the beginning of the file. To flatten your files you can use QuickTime Player Pro and choose the ' Save as... ' command, which allows you to save flattened movies. This becomes quickly boring if you have many movies to change.

Lillipot accept .mov and .mp4 files (Turn mp4 files into mov files)

Lillipot is a simple and useful tool that has the same effect as the ' Save as... ' command, but with one single click! Lillipot removes also all dependences on external files to your specified movie. Drag and drop all your movies on the lillipot window, then start the batch process by clicking on the 'action' button.
