SoftRAID 3.6.7 (Mac OS X)
Well, once again SoftRaid fails to deliver RAID5 that has been promised for years now.
But nevermind...
10.6 has ZFS so SoftRaid is finished. (Apple proof!)
and I hear ZFS is present in the 10.6 Client Developer Preview released this month also.
The only future path I can see is that SoftRaid dump their core code and keep their GUI for ZFS management.
Otherwise it's good bye SoftRaid and watch your customers drop off as they laugh at your feeble attempts to market against ZFS.

Xtorrent 1.1 (53) (Mac OS X)
Infuriating UI flaw, still not fixed... ![]()

I am so wild with this program. I had two downloads that had completed downloading and were seeding forever, so I clicked the "x" icon at the right hand side of each entry... GONE! DELETED! As a paid user of this application, I am so disappointed with xtorrent to not have any warning about this. (yes I looked in the preferences) This is typical of an application written for Windows! not Mac OS X... Either fix the code, or tell users specifically what the button implies, as this is the second time this has caught me out, thinking I was removing! (not deleting) a shared torrent file. Move the files to the trash at least! As an I.T. Manager for a homogeneous Mac OS X University department, I consider myself quite comfortable and proficient on OS X. This is a serious and disappointing flaw in the UI. Glad I don't don't rely on this application for an income. I have emailed the developer twice now and have not heard anything... All my peers will know to stay clear of this flawed application. [alert admin]

SoftRAID 3.5.1 (Mac OS X)
How long does it take to add the Holy Grail!?!
I will pay triple the current price to get RAID5 because it's still cheaper than a hardware RAID5 card.
Release a Server/Pro version and a consumer version to keep your customers happy... too easy..
You better hurry up SoftRaid LLC because Silicon Image have now beaten you to this.
They already offer RAID5 in software, but fortunately for you guys, they only offer it with their SATA card only...
You better hurry up, because it's only a matter of time before the opensource community gobbles up your potential market share...
Disapointed I.T. Manager Down Under...

This app has saved me a lot of time, not only in having to type in schema but also in assisting with workflow and understanding the task at hand.
Well done on a marvellous effort.
As for Jhenthorn's comments.... go away!
You simply have no idea what this application is actuallyused for for. [alert admin]

contacts 1.1 (Mac OS X)
A big thank you to Shane for his efforts on this project!
I suggested a feature for version 1.2 (include prefix and suffix fields) but Shane emailed me the next day with the features already added!
Saved us about 20 hours of processing!
Thanx again,
Raoul. [alert admin]

cscreen 1.2 (Mac OS X)
this is not a new thing guys...
here's proof... source code to do the same thing... ----START---- /* gcc -o setdisplay main.c -framework Cocoa */ /* main.c This tool sets the display resolution. This tool exists so that we can set the display to a setting when the display manager says it can't, mainly, when a Mac starts up and the monitor is off, or if the Mac is on a KVM.

If you don't give it arguments, it will use: 1024 x 768, 32 bits per pixel, and 75 htz If you give it 4 arguments, they should be: width, height, bits per pixel, and refresh rate. Like so: SetDisplay 1024 768 32 75 WARNING: In testing garbage values, I did get this to tool to change the display so that absolutely nothing displayed. I don't remember what I did to get that. And I can't duplicate it anymore. I could remotely control it, so I could fix it. But beware, if you can't remotely control the machine and fix bad display settings, well, you might have to resort to drastic measures to fix a mac with bad display settings (like boot off of a different disk and delete the display preferences. In other words, this tool will change the display settings regardless of what the display manager says is possible.

SharePoints 1.6 (Mac OS X)
Such a hand litty tool. I do suggest you present the version number somewhere on the pane, as there is no "easy" means of determining what version is being used. But again, SharePoints is the most useful networking tool I use. [alert admin]

I think it's fair to say that this Jhenthorn character has no idea when it comes to DBA.
