SlipBox 0.7.3 (Mac OS X)
I have been using SlipBox since early October and am more and more pleased by it. And Spotlight seems to have no problem with it either. I use it for simple things like iTunes receipts, complicated projects involving information pulled from a lot of different web sites, almost all the info I want to store somewhere and be able to find again. Since I can define Type (i.e., Receipt) and Source (i.e, iTunes, VersionTracker) and add whatever keywords seem crucial to a search or memory jog, I can work a lot faster and not have to wonder whether I can find an item later. And SlipBox is not a CPU drain nor a memory hog. It is a good program that does what it says it will. [alert admin]

WindowShade X 4.1 (Mac OS X)
When this version of WindowShade did nothing even after I uninstalled and reinstalled, I whined to Unsanity Support, who sent me a suggestion about changing a setting through Terminal. Now everything works splendidly again. I've been using this haxie since it first came out (OS 9?) and am so used to it that I have trouble using computers on which WindowShade is not installed--or is not functional. The Shade is what I use most, but I take advantage of the Minimize action to keep some of the windows open and out of the way, lined up neatly on the right side of the screen instead of crowding my already crowded Dock. As long as this haxie keeps working, I can keep working. [alert admin]

Mario_Dammann 0.9 (Mac OS X)
This script does what it says it will, but I'm not sure it saves much copy-and-paste time when the only way (at least the only way I have found) to access it in Safari is from the Script icon on the computer's title-bar, down many folders to Safari, and into that folder. When it evolves into something that can be called up on the spot, I'll like it better. (And when it gets a name that more accurately informs about its function, I'll be more apt to remember what it is and use it.) However this is just good enough to use--when I remember to.

PhotoComplete 1.1 (Mac OS X)
I have been using this program extensively for several weeks and for the majority of my photos this is all they need. The program is non-destructive, lets me change my mind about one part of a change without having to go back to the beginning, lets me use the histogram if I need to, and in general allows as much or as little tinkering or editing as I need. Sometimes I will Save As twice, once as the jpeg that I can move into iPhoto if I want to and once in the PhotoComplete format that retains the picture's transformational history and will let me tinker some more if I want to (or have the time to.) It does not replace either iPhoto or Photoshop for some functions (red-eye, for instance, or spot color correction) but it does much that iPhoto doesn't (and with the added benefit that you don't have to commit your phtos to iPhoto before you can work on them.) At first I thought this application was overpriced but the more I use it and appreciate both the things it can do that other programs can't and the immense flexibility, the more I think it is well worth the money.

PhotoReviewer 2.0 (Mac OS X)
I have used this since it first appeared and am delighted with this much-improved version of an already great application. It is a wonderfully efficient way to sort many photos quickly. [alert admin]

FileChute 2.0.8 (Mac OS X)
I got really tired of file transfer programs that promised to be easy but weren't, that promised to work but crashed, that made life harder rather than easier. Then I tried FileChute. Now I know why I keep my dotmac account going--this program makes dotmac worth having. I Chute a file, send a link, my contact gets the mail, clicks on the link, gets the file. Or automatically zipped folder. This is a wonderful program from the same people who make the absolutely essential SnapNDrag so you know it will be well supported. [alert admin]

TapDex 3.0.3 (Mac OS X)
This program is ideal for those of use who don't want to search our (minimally organized) Address Book for the the info we can't quite dredge up for an e-mail--like the name of the person who lives across the street from one of my husband's cousins and is having a baby shower for the cousin and spouse. Luckily they all share the same area-code and city/state, and luckily I have TapDex. It's useful for more organized people and purposes too--one of those apps that makes all of us seem even more efficient than of course we are. [alert admin]

SizzlingKeys 3.0.5 (Mac OS X)
Keeps My Hands Where They Belong . . . 
which is on the keyboard. This program is incredibly useful. It's great to have all that control without having to lose focus on whatever I'm trying to do. (A couple of minutes learning and activating the key controls helps too.) This is a wonderful way to control iTunes with the very least amount of thought. [alert admin]

WriteRoom 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I've been using WriteRoom since its first Beta. It is high on my list of "must-add" applications not just because it presents a wonderful place to write but because for people like me who have a lot of books-in-text on their computers (why carry a lot of extra physical books when you're already lugging an iBook through security?) WriteRoom provides an ideal reading environment. When WriteRoom is open, I can drag whatever text I want to read to the WR icon in the dock and then enjoy large eye-easing green print on the black background, no glare, no distraction--a real boon especially at the end of a long day. I now do most of my writing in WriteRoom, but for my own pleasure and relaxation I do most of my reading here too. So if I could I'd rate this at ten stars, five for the writing and another five for the reading. Thank you, Jesse. [alert admin]

Zazen 1.0 (Mac OS X)
I use this on a 12" iBook so I can ignore the clutter on the screen and focus on the quick note, quick game, quick whatever. With Zazen's opacity set high, I can mostly ignore the background while still keeping aware of what's going on, and it's easy to click out of the concentration mode to deal with a download, for instance. The downside is the Zazen control on the menu bar: my menu bar is already crowded and most of the time I can't see Zazen when I want to use it. I like not having anything added to the dock, but I'd certainly like to be able to run it from an alias on one edge of the desktop. That said, I really like this app and look forward to its future incarnations. [alert admin]

At least I'm not the only person frustrated by that. So far in two days of trying I have not been able to download through any server or manager. Grr.
