Sync'Em 1.23 (Mac OS X)
Regarding the posting by "decadence"
The real facts about this situation: - the customer purchased FolderControl that was specified to work with the then-current version of OS X (10.3.x) and version 10.2.x - the customer successfully installed and licensed the software on a PowerMac G4 (MDD/Windtunnel) serial number <omitted-for-privacy> on 2004-05-19 19:35:18 Pacific - the customer never once send a problem report or asked for assistance (so it's reasonable to assume that it worked just fine on the OS X versions for which it was sold) - there were no additional licensing-operation requests (i.e., no other licensing attempts were made) until the customer applied their purchased upgrade on 006-10-18 04:18:46 Pacific and that upgrade application was successful - we then received a rude and obscene communication that began: --- From: <omitted-for-privacy> To: <omitted-for-privacy> Subject: Product and/or Service Enquiry Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2006 08:18:46 -0800 (PST) You wankers don't even publish a phone number. Where is my refund for the *full price* of FolderControl or my new license? === At this point, there were 3 issues at play: 1) as a matter of policy, we don't deal with people who engage in obscene name calling ... so, without further thought, we issued a refund for the upgrade he'd purchased 2) FolderControl, as a product, had since been discontinued 3) the real problem the customer was having was that they were trying to license a system that was different from their currently licensed system but they only purchased a license for a single system ... this is in violation of the licensing agreement and requires that they first de-activate the license on their currently licensed system so their license is available for use on another system (or purchase another license) -- LicenseControl is the only secure licensing that let's the end-user move their licensed product from system to system, whenever they want and as many times as they want The bottom line is that the customer still had the use of FolderControl on the version of Mac OS X that was current when the product was purchased. The Software Licensing Agreement the customer agreed to when he purchased the product does not grant perpetual use to the software under all conditions ... frankly, any company who promises such can't be guaranteed to deliver because they're not in control of the underlying operating system. We did not and would not agree to a refund for a product that had been purchased and successfully licensed and used for over a year. We did, however, refund the Upgrade purchase. We will also always refuse to deal with people who are rude and obscene. ==== Ultimately this person became such a nuisance that we had to have his phone calls blocked. Fortunately he didn't start showing up in person because the videos would have resulted in quick and easy legal action. So it's now more than 2 years later and you can see that he's continuing the misguided vendetta (Mr. Google will find more such examples) -- you decide. [alert admin]

Fan Control 1.2 (Mac OS X)
NEW: iMac and Extended MacBook/MacBook Pro Versions
I've generated 2 new versions of Fan Control, one for the Intel-based iMacs and one for the MacBook/MacBook Pro which has some extended control capabilities over the original Lobotomo Fan Control version. For screenshots and (free) downloads (with source code) see:
iMac Fan Control
Extended MacBook/MacBook Pro Fan Control
The iMac version allows separate sensors to drive the control of each of its 3 fans and the extended MacBook/MacBook Pro version allows fan-control via the CPU and/or GPU temperatures (useful if you play games on your laptop). There are also some other minor enhancements (see the ReadMe files).
I've also tried to make it easy to adapt the source code for other systems ... e.g., a version for the Mac Pro that uses different sensors to control different fans (or groups of fans).
Hope these are useful to others. [alert admin]

CoreDuoTemp 0.8 (Mac OS X)
... if you created a keychain entry and used a name that includes a space, you'll need to enclose that name in double quotes (e.g., "CoreDuoTemp Key") when you enter the name into the CoreDuoTemp dialog.
The application works very well and is much appreciated. Thanks!
I also wanted a smaller window, since I leave it running all the time ('though the menu display may overcome this desire) so I edited the NIB a little (the NIB holds, among other information, the GUI layout data).
If you're interested in a smaller display format, you can:
If you don't want to use the modified NIB, put the MainMenu-original.nib back. Enjoy. [alert admin]

I doub't it'd run under a Windoze OS (i.e., even if "ported"). It relies upon services provided by OS X (unless Apple supplies the smc interfaces as part of the bootcamp/driver stuff).
