Fast Delete 1.0 is created as an AppleScript with the ability to automatically move a file to the trash and delete it. Apply Fast Delete to a function key, and choose your trash! It's much quicker than selecting what you want to delete, then typing command-delete, waiting for it to move to the trash, and then typing command-shift-delete. It's so lengthy compared to the automation that Fast Delete gives you.
If you want extra-fast file deletion, assign Fast Delete to a function key and turn off the Trash's "Warn before emptying" option. And make sure that you have the Akua S

Finder Refresher 1.0
Finder Refresher is a feature-rich and trustworthy scripting tool. more>>
Finder Refresher 1.0 is a feature-rich and trustworthy scripting tool. One major shortcoming of OS Xs Finder is how poorly the contents of Finder windows are updated. Often an inactive window will show information that does not properly reflect the true contents of the directory until the user clicks on the window.
At best this is an annoyance, and at worst this can lead to data loss by, e.g., selecting the wrong files for some action such as (oops) deletion. A simple AppleScript has been writen, called "Finder Refresher" that will correct this problem. It seems to work well, refreshing all windows, even when the Finder is not the front application, and taking very limited processor cycles.
Shredder Widget 1.2.1
Shredder Widget - digital document shredder right in your Dashboard more>> Shredder Widget - digital document shredder right in your Dashboard
Shredder Widget will give you the convenience and security of a digital document shredder right in your Dashboard; even better, its 100% silent and doesnt leave shredded bits about for you to clean up later. Its variable shred levels give you just the amount of protection you need.
Low: Bypass the trash can. Though this isnt as secure a deletion of your files, it is a quick way to get rid of those files you know you dont need, leaving the trash can for those things you just might want to dig out later.
Medium: Secure erase. This mode overwrites your shredded documents with a US Department of Defence compliant 7 pass procedure.
High: Virtual Paper Pulp. Use this setting for only the most sensetive files. Though it might be slow, the 35 pass Gutmann algorithm will ensure that no data from these files is ever recovered.
The digital document shredder is everything you need to feel secure while sitting in front of your Mac. And, with the upcoming release of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard with Time Machine, this widget will step up to the task of making sure that not even travel backward through time can recover the data you want to permanently remove from your system.
Be careful, though: shredding is total and permanent, and Interdimension Media assumes no responsibility for any loss of data that you may incur through its use (thats the point, though, right?). Just watch out; the desire to round up some digital scraps of paper just for the satisfaction of watching them shred to bits may overtake you.
To shred a document, click and drag a file from the Finder. Then use a hotkey (F12 by default) to call up Dashboard, keeping the document in hand. Drop it on the shredder to permanently erase it from your system.
Enhancements
- Leopard compatibility
- Cycle shred level while dragging (hover over indicator light)
- Cycle shred level with spacebar
- Now shreds documents with foreign characters in filename
- Smoother animation

Sustainable Graphic Design Widget 1.4
Sustainable Graphic Design Widget delivers information about the environmental impacts that design methods and techniques have more>> The ClokBox application is a new time management tool, designed primarily to work with the TimeBox application. It currently runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and Mac OSX, as well as any other operating system with a Java Runtime Environment.
ClokBox is a central part of the TimeSuite time management system. This system is designed for use by organizations that need to track the time spent working by their employees/contractors/etc. Each individual employee/contractor (well call this person a "worker") tracks his or her time with their own TimeBox instance. One member of the team, typically a project manager or program leader, will run an instance of the ClokBox application. Each worker can then periodically submit his or her time to the ClokBox instance.
Features of the ClokBox application include:
A built-in Web server which allows users to submit their time manually or automatically.
Advanced reporting capabilities which allow you to customize reports. Create reports about specific projects, specific users, specific time frames, in whatever format you need--including pie charts, bar charts, spreadsheet, and a special importable format. View, print, or save your reports, or load them into the spreadsheet or database applications you already use.
Tracking of expenses, such as mileage, travel, dinner, or entertainment costs. Expenses can be organized by expense categories, which you can customize.
Tracking of fixed cost fees, such as consultation fees.
Invoice generation and tracking. Create your invoice according to your custom criteria. Edit and save the invoice, and track when it is paid.
Easy backup features help you prevent accidental data loss.
Easy user administration allows you to easily create and manage user accounts.
Improved communications, via ClokBoxs exclusive QwikMessage feature, allows better collaboration among team members.

Google Contacts for Thunderbird 0.5.55
Google Contacts for Thunderbird is the brilliant Thunderbird add-on that enables Thunderbird to access and manage Gmail contacts. more>>
Google Contacts for Thunderbird 0.5.55 is the brilliant Thunderbird add-on that enables Thunderbird to access and manage Gmail contacts. After you installed the add-on, all contacts are imported to Thunderbird's address books; contacts in Gmail are mapped to cards and contact groups are mapped to mail lists. When you changes the cards or mail lists, the changes applied to Gmail contacts immediately; it is similar to the way IMAP updates messages properties. Please note that it works only when you are at online.
Before you use the add-on, you have to set up Gmail account in Thunderbird. So, if you have not set up it yet, please do it first. If you are going to set up Gmail IMAP access, my another add-on, Gmail IMAP Account Setup will help you. After the account setup was done, download Google Contacts and install it to Thunderbird then restart Thunderbird.
The add-on detects Gmail accounts and retrieve their contacts. Account names and passwords are searched in a password mamanger if you save passwords to it; if you not, it asks you passwords. Your contacts are imported to the address books which are named by Google-accountname manner. For example, contacts of sample@gmail.com is imported to Gmail-sample@gmail.com. It is OK to change the name after the synchronization, it is just a default name. When you add a card to the address book, the card is added to contacts of sample@gmail.com immediately. It works for deletion/modification of cards/lists as well.
Webware for Python 0.9.4
Webware for Python is a suite of Python packages and tools for developing object-oriented, web-based applications more>>
Webware for Python is well proven, platform-independent and it is compatible with multiple operating systems, database servers and web servers.
Enhancements:
New Features
- New Application.config settings SessionCookiePath, SessionStoreDir, CacheDir and AddressFiles.
- The AutoReloadingAppServer now supports not only python-fam, but also python-gamin.
Improvements and Refinements
- Assume root path as the servlet path if the URL has been completely rewritten by the web server.
- Added optional parameter to HTTPRequest.serverURL() for getting canonical hostnames, False by default.
- Fixed the HTTPRequest.previousURI() method and added a HTTPRequest.previousContextName() method.
- Dont install the MKBrowser context automagically. It is now part of the default configuration where it can be removed.
- The appointment of the default context (if none was specified) was not deterministic. When ambiguous, we now refuse the temptation to guess, raising an error condition instead.
- Webware did not shut down cleanly when AutoReloadingAppServer or ThreadedAppServer could not be properly initialized. The error handling here is now much better.
Security
- Implemented HTTPRequest.isSecure() method.
- Use secure session cookies for HTTPS connections. This is configurable with the Application.config setting SecureSessionCookie which is True by default. (Suggested by Adam Kerrison.)
Bugfixes
- Deletion of cookies could lead to problems due to a wrong cookie path (report and fix by Adam Kerrison).
- Fixed a bug concerning servlet reuse (reported by Andrew Butash), adding a Servlet._busy attribute.
