Funes 0.1 (Mac OS X)
It's very simple. You run the app, and it adds a menu icon to the menu bar. It has 2 options, horizontal star rating bar, and Quit. Couldn't be easier. It would be cool to be able to display the song name, the current rating, or both in the menu bar instead of the icon. The stars in the menu bar wouldn't need to be changeable from the bar, but just activate the application's menu. You wouldn't even need a preferences window. It could all be done with a preferences callout/submenu with the 4 options (Icon, song title, rating, both song title and rating). Just a thought. Great work! [alert admin]

MacGLide 0.13 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
This seems pretty cool, and a very creative idea i'd wanted to see done for quite some time now. I'm getting an error when I try to install MacGLide though. When I select the HD with my OS 9 installation on it, it reports that it can't find the "System Folder" and proceeds to error once more (-43 error) and cancel the install. At first I thought this was because my System Folder had been renamed so I renamed it back to "System Folder" and re-ran the installer. No dice. I then got an backed-up version of my complete OS 9 System folder from when I used to boot into classic and even that failed to be recognized by the installer. I was so excited about getting to run Carmageddon 1 and 2 again. *frowny face* I'm running a 1.25 GHz DP G4 Mirror Drive Door with an upgraded video card (ATI Radeon 9800 Pro) and 2 GB of RAM. Running 10.5 and still have OS 9.2.2 installed on a secondary HD (bootable) [alert admin]

bEHarmonia 1.1.1 (10) (Mac OS X)
This seems pretty useful. Previously I used a combination of a huge whiteboard for notes and a set of web tools I wrote which generate this type of data, but the process takes a long time. This app consolidates my needs into one place with is much faster than my web-apps.
Some features I'd like to see in the future:
- Tabs for different projects - I work on many different projects at a time, having a single tab for each project/app I'm working on would really help. I'm not a fan of having tons of windows open because they get out of hand and I can't find the one I want. Tabs organizes this and consolidates it into one window. Project tabs could be located up at the top of the window where there is presently only static text "Bugs/Issues/Enhancements".
- Autosave - Have the app automatically save your work every time something is added or changed. Maybe require a manual save for deletions? Or just eff it, and always autosave for any change. Nothing sucks more than doing some important tracking only to accidentally lose it for no good reason.
- Easier drop-downs - Change the drop-downs to standard drop-down elements instead of the "type here" style. This would provide a larger clicking area and since you can't type in them anyway, why not have them be the more standard style.
- Resizable window - Have the app window be able to be at least vertically resized. The ability to only see 3 issues at a time makes it hard to use. ALso, the issues list doesn't have a scroll bar for me so when there's more than 3 items I can't get to the lower ones without an annoying clic-drag-down action, typically scrolling past the one I wanted a few times. Same thing with the brief description list.
- Fancy export options - In my web app development tools, something that I have really come to appreciate is my export formatting options. For each project I can generate a plain text readme file, which lists the changes/history; I can also generate a BBcode/Xcode, HTML, or Wiki code list of all of the changes done from every version (of said project) grouped by app version number in descending order, or generate just the current version's changes. This is VERY handy because all I have to do is enter the information about the change/fix/enhancement/whatever once, then it's formatted into the right format so I can post it on websites advertising all the new stuff without having to format anything. Just copy and paste.
I really appreciate that the developer made this app Freeware. I write code for a living, but I write also code for fun in my personal time at home. My home code is all freeware and I prefer using freeware apps over shareware apps because of the author's similar similar mindset to mine.

phpMyAdmin 2.10.2 (Mac OS X)
After you've got it installed and configured, and you go to change databases you may notice some strange behavior. In 2.10.2 I noticed when I change databases, it would reload the side-menu with a 404 page, instead of displaying the table list for that database like it should. It appears that they changed the name of the left menu at the last moment (maybe?) and changed it from "left.php" to "navigation.php".
The easiest solution is to create a symbolic link named "left.php" that points to the new "navigation.php".
cd to your phpMyAdmin directory and use the following command to do that: ln -s navigation.php left.php
They'll likely have this fixed soon making the symlink unneeded but I noticed it and figured I'd share.

ChemicalBurn 1.1 (Mac OS X)
I love this screensaver! it's really neat to just watch. It makes me think of the internet or other large "self-learning" networks. I even sent it to my father-in-law who is a graph theory professor and he liked it too. Both myself and my wife experience "freezes" with this running however. It will run for a few minutes (about 10 or so) then the screensaver will crash. You can SSH into the computer and do the old "ps" and "kill" command on the screensaver engine and it will take the screensaver away and leave you with your fully functional computer again, but if you didn't know to do that it would surely appear totally frozen (pinwheel of death if you move the mouse.) I really hope this gets repaired soon as I want to set this as my primary screensaver for all my computers. I'd be wiling to test betas or give debug info if the creator would like. Thanks.

NuLOOQ tooldial 1.2 (Mac OS X)
It seems that with version 1.2 running, the functionality of the Esc key on the keyboard is impaired. Keyboard viewer detects that the key is being pressed, but when any dialogue or application is running in the foreground where an Escape key could be received, it isn't. Immediately upon stopping the NuLOOQ background application, normal functionality is restored. If it's activated again, the app re-hooks back into the Escape Key button-press event, and stops it from working again. All else with the update seems fine. [alert admin]

WoWmapview 2.0 (Mac OS X)
This is so awesome. Back when I first heard about a WoW map viewer, it was only for Windows. I promptly installed it in Virtual PC and it didn't run at all. It wasn't coded very well. GG windows. So I was extremely surprised that someone ported it to mac and above that it was improved and actually worked, well! I've used this to explore some pretty neat places and I'm really pleased with this. A few extra features would be nice but it's so friggin cool already. Thank you so much for porting this. Some neat features to add would include: adding arrow keys for movement (or custom key config even via a .cfg file "bind w forward"). A checkbox to not only use the patches, but to use the WoWTest folder's data too, so you can see maps etc that are in the test realm only. The map overlay appears purple on my system; color would be awesome. Just some ideas, Thanks again. [alert admin]

Open Fire 1.0 (Mac OS X)
The art in the game is superbly done. It's a little overwhelming at first, but after a few warmup games you get to have a lot of fun. Neat and fun concept. No graphics problems or issues at all. Really fluid too. Also, can't beat free; thanks! [alert admin]

Safari Tidy plugin 0.2 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
So what it does is actually attaches a little resizable section to the bottom of the view source window, listing all warnings, errors, etc and highlights each line where those occur. It does all this nifty stuff for each page you go to (quickly and quietly in the background) displaying little validation symbols in the status bar. This is really cool. I'd love for it to also do syntax highlighting on the HTML lines that don't have warnings. I'm very impressed. Good work. [alert admin]

Good, but poorly implemented?!?!?!?!?
Actually its not inaccessible. Before posting here and giving my software 1 STAR FOR PRICE (IT'S FREE! HOW IS THA BAD?!?!) Try actually playing Doom. #1 you could have gone past the windy slime surrounded walkway and hit the space bar at the discolored wall on the right to get in there. OR #2 TURN ON NOCLIP and walk through the friggin wall. Either way, its not "unreachable". No one else has a problem getting…

Make sure you've done 2 things: Run psdoom from X11 and not Terminal, and Put a Doom WAD file the same folder as psdoom. if you do those, everything should be fine.
