A Better How Long 1.2 comes with many useful features to allow you to display the time and for how many days your computer has been running in floating window. By that way, it stays on top of everything. It can be stuck in a corner of the screen for a constant reference.

EntourageX Swap Home and Work - Swaps Home and Work address for contacts in Entourage X more>>
You have the choice of swapping addresses of only currently selected contacts, or of all contacts. In either case, the script will ask for confirmation before it executes.
There used to be a Microsoft script that did this for Ev2001. The installer refuses to work with EvX, so I wrote this. Hope its useful.

Better Search 1.2
Better Search provides you diversified and effective way to search deeply in your hard drive. more>>
Better Search 1.2 provides you diversified and effective way to search deeply in your hard drive. You could not search packages nor could you search in invisible directories. Better Search attempts to correct that. While it is not as pretty as Spotlight it does allow one to have greater control over a search. But this comes at a cost. Better search does use a high level of cpu time and memory. You can run multiple searches at the same time, search in packages, search visible and invisible directories and search case insensitive or not.
Better Search will also allow you to either only search for Directories or files, or both. Keep in mind when you search that Bundles such as Applications, are considered by the system to be directories. This will possibly be accounted for in a future release but for now you must choose to find either files and folder, or folders if you are looking for applications or other bundles.
Enhancements:
- Now allows you to search the contents of a file.
- Be aware that this is quite time consuming.
Requirements: Mac OS 10.4 or later.

Better Screen Dump is using the current time and date to make a unique file name for each image, and stores them in the /tmp folder.
System requirements:
- iPhone.

A Better VLookup 0.5a
A Better VLookup is a simple, stable and fast multimedia shell and desktop tool. more>>
A Better VLookup 0.5a is a simple, stable and fast multimedia shell and desktop tool. Currently Microsoft Excel for Mac takes on average several minutes to perform vertical lookups on data in separate worksheets. Now I've developed something in Perl that takes 3 seconds. It's only simple, but it does the job well. Give it 2 tab delimited files and an output file will be created on the desktop with an extra column appended to the end that will contain the vertical lookup data.

Provides you with an easy way to distribute a script(s) that will redirect several files and folders to the local machine more>>
The package installer will install clean.sh (or cleanbasic.sh or cleanmm.sh - depending on the package that you install) and cleanup.sh in the /Library/Scripts folder of the local machine. It will then set a login and logout hook on the local machine so that clean.sh (or cleanbasic.sh or cleanmm.sh - depending on the package that you install) will run at each login and cleanup.sh at each logout. All local accounts (including mobile accounts and portable home directories) will bypass these scripts, and only users with network homes will be affected.
NHRBasic.pkg simply redirects the network users Caches and Fonts folders to the local machine (Caches into /tmp and Fonts to /Library/Fonts). NHR.pkg redirects the network users Caches and Fonts folders, along with the users Microsoft User Data and AppleWorks User Data folders. One thing that is important for this installer to work correctly, is to make sure the local admin user (the first account set up on the local machine - with UID 501), has launched all of the Office applications - Word, Excel and PowerPoint and AppleWorks.
It is also important to note that you need to throw away the local admin users Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Clip Gallery Preference file. If this file is present, it will cause Clip Art Gallery to hang on network home users. NHRMM.pkg will do everything that NHR.pkg does, and will also redirect the network users Movies, Music and Pictures folders to the local machine (in /Users/Shared/). And NHRUninstall.pkg is a package that will delete all scripts from any of the package installs above and the login and logout hooks.
