Warp

ksuther.com | Warp
Warp is a preference pane that allows you to use the mouse to switch between Spaces rather than using the keyboard.
Warp offers the ability to display a live preview of a space when you move the mouse to the edge of the screen, allowing you to see what you have on another space before actually switching to it. Clicking the preview will then warp you to that space. (Enable this feature by checking the option “Click screen edge to Warp” in Warp’s preference pane)

SIDPLAY - the premier C64 music player for the Mac

SIDPLAY - the premier C64 music player for the Mac
SIDPLAY is a Commodore 64 music player. It emulates the sound chip and other internals of the Commodore 64 home computer to play back music that was originally written on it. The sound chip of the C64 is called the “Sound Interface Device” or SID, and therefore this music is known as SID music. The SID chip is basically a three voice synthesizer on a chip. The unusual combination of digital and analogue circuitry is the reason for its distinctive sound.

SIDPLAY strives to offer the best possible SID music experience on any platform. It has been designed with the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) in mind. This collection is the biggest and most complete collection of SID music on the Internet. It can be obtained for free from http://hvsc.c64.org/.

Moving from bloglines (almost)

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

I’m on the verge of moving from Bloglines. Newsgator offer fantastic desktop clients for Windows & Mac, as well as a web based version - but what is really great is that they all sync, so you don’t re-read the same articles if you read from multiple computers.

Unfortunately, the web reader is not as good as bloglines, and as far as I can tell none of the linux desktop aggregators such as straw or liferea support syncing with the open api newsgator provide.

Pipe symbol on keysonic keyboard used with mac

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

To get a pipe symbol on my keysonic keyboard used with a mac mini (g4 old-skool running leopard) I hit the key (shifted) above the return key which has a hash and tilde on it. Backslash is the same key un-shifted.

And to get the hash symbol on my uk-mapped keyboard, it’s alt-3.

Sorry, this isn’t very interesting - it’s a personal reminder.

Aquamacs: Emacs for Mac OS X

Aquamacs: Emacs for Mac OS X
Aquamacs is an Aqua-native build of the powerful Emacs text editor. By “Aqua-native,” we mean more than just the fact that this version of Emacs runs as a standard OS X application. Aquamacs features extensive customization: it will feel and behave mostly like an Aqua program - while still being a real GNU Emacs with all the ergonomy and extensibility you’ve come to expect from this world-class editor.

Syncing ical with google calendar

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

I’ve just discovered that the excellent plaxo also offers mac software which can sync ical with any of their other supported “sync points” (google calendar, outlook, yahoo, mobile phones, etc).

A standard account is free as well, although it’s one of the only web 2.0 services I’d pay for.
