PHP Function Index 2.1 (Mac OS X)
I make a living off of PHP development and just registered for the business license. The one thing about this product that makes it more than worth it's money is the included Applescript that provides ability to highlight a PHP function in BBEdit and look up that function in PHP Function Index with a button click. I would typically perform a google search for the function and take the first hit which was almost invariably the entry for the function in one of the online PHP manuals. But sometimes it wasn't... Now, I just highlight the term in BBEdit, click alt-apple-. (period) and all related functions are listed in PHP Function Index. Thanks for this! [alert admin]

Webmin 1.340 (Mac OS X)
Not for mission critical websites 
Do not try to use Webmin for live websites that use anything beyond simple programming or HTML! I am a web developer and Unix-like systems (Unix, Linux, OS X, etc.) administrator. I have had nothing but trouble on all systems on which Webmin is installed. Some problems I have had even with this "upgrade": Webmin and module upgrades removing existing modules, log rotation breaking and becoming un-reparable for no apparent reason (just installed Webmin upgrade, tried to delete all log rotations and got an error about a missing Perl file), failed upgrades and module installations, miscellaneous changes to application (Apache, FTP) configuration, crashes requiring a hardware restart (call the ISP), etc. etc. etc. Webmin is FREE and is meant for a website on that kind of budget. If you want security, ease of use and RELIABILITY, use WHM/CPanel. It costs money, but you'll get it back in saved time and headaches. [alert admin]

cd to... 2.0 (Mac OS X)
If I want to get to the current Finder window in Terminal, I typically open Terminal from Dock, drag and drop a folder into the Terminal window to get the path, put CD in front of the path name, and click Return to CD to the selected folder. >cd to... does all of this with one click, from wherever I am in Finder. Needless to say, this little app saves tons of click-work for Terminal users. Thanks! [alert admin]

MAMP 1.5b1 (Mac OS X)
FYI, Zend Optimizer 3.2.2 is included in this MAMP. This version of Zend Optimizer should work on Intel Macs. [alert admin]

CrossOver 6.0 (Mac OS X)
Are there any security concerns about this product? Does it run on and utilize the Mac partition? If so, that scares me out of my socks. I don't want any Windows programs (especially Internet Explorer) touching my Mac partition. I prefer a separate Windows partition where the bugs can roam freely without hosing my Mac. Thoughts?

Parallels Desktop 2.5 Build 3036.0 (Mac OS X)
Coherency! It scared me at first since I didn't know what it was, but turned it on and poof, my Mac is a Mac and a Windows PC. There's the Windows toolbar at the bottom of my screen and I can alt-tab to Internet Explorer 7. Just don't forget how to switch back! Otherwise, this release runs faster and smoother on my 2.66 Mac Pro than any release to date. I'm so glad to so goodbye to Virtual PC. Thanks Parallels! [alert admin]

MAMP 1.2.1 (Mac OS X)
TIP: Copy your MySQL databases, httpd.conf and any other altered settings before copying a new version of MAMP over an older version. Otherwise, you may end up wiping out all of your data, and Apache/PHP configuration files like I did. [alert admin]

PHP Function Reference 0.9.3b (Mac OS X)
As a PHP developer, this will be a very handy widget to have. When I'm not sure about a PHP function, I usually hop out to a search engine, search for the PHP function I'm looking for, then click a link that typically goes to an online version of the PHP manual. With this widget, I don't have to go to the internet or wade through search results to find the right information. This widget even gets partial matches, so if I know I'm looking for a mysql_ function I can type in mysql_ to get a list of all mysql_ functions, then click to get the full manual entry. I also like the ability to save favorite functions to look up quickly. What are the parameters for mysql_connect again??? PHP Function Reference widget to the rescue. Great job. [alert admin]

GOODBYE APPLE!! It's been a fun 15 years...
Finding files by name on *indexed* volumes is very simple. In Finder, command-F to open a New Search. From the first option dropdown, select Name. Enter part of the name of the file(s) you are searching for. The end. Most people do not connect unindexed drives on a regular basis. This will not cause finder to look for and index any/all unindexed drives connectd to your Mac, but it will return the files on indexed drives…

I found this method of using Windows Internet Explorer to view web sites to be unacceptable as Internet Explorer running in Crossover does not match, pixel for pixel, Internet Explorer running in virtualization. So, yes, virtualization (or bootcamp) still appears the only way for web developers to truly see what Windows users are seeing.
