Free bus software for mac

The Short Bus Dashboard widget is politically incorrectly named, but oh well. Click the bus to have a random phrase describing someones intelligence level.

Enhancements:

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

Brighton Bus Times widget displays realtime and scheduled bus information for any bus stop in the Brighton and Hove area (UK), including those that dont have a bus times display.
Finding the next bus leaving from a stop near you becomes a piece of cake.

System requirements:
- Internet connection.

Now connecting your Icom radios to your computer has never been easier!
The USB CI-V Interface plugs into the USB port of a Windows, Macintosh or Linux computer, allowing an Icom (or other CI-V interface) radio to be connected and controlled via the CI-V (CIV) protocol. An attached 6 ft USB cable plugs into a standard USB port on your computer. One standard 1/8" cable to connect to your radios CI-V port is included.

The USB Icom CI-V Interface is powered off the USB bus, no external power is required.

It is effectively equivalent to the combination of an Icom CT-17 along with a USB to serial interface, without the tangle of wires and extra power supply. It will work with any radio that has a standard Icom CI-V interface jack. Such radios include:
IC-1275, IC-275, IC-375, IC-475, IC-575, IC-7000, IC-703, IC-706,
IC-707, IC-718, IC-725,IC-726, IC-728, IC-729, IC-735, IC-736, IC-737,
IC-738, IC-7400, IC-746, IC-756, IC-761, IC-765, IC-775, IC-78,
IC-7800, IC-781, IC-820, IC-821, IC-910, IC-970, IC-R10, IC-R20,
IC-R7000, IC-R7100, IC-R72, IC-R75, IC-R8500, IC-9000L

Please check the manual for your radio to make sure that it has a CI-V port, and whether or not you need any special wiring. The USB CI-V Interface comes with cables designed to work with a STANDARD CI-V port.

Note that some radios, such as the Icom R-20, have a special CI-V jack that also has audio. Youll need to make a special cable for such radios, to only pass the ground and CI-V signal, and not the audio.

Vocabularium essentially works as follows:
- from the options screen, you select the vocabulary topic of your podcast (note that new releases of the software will periodically be made with more topics);
- each topic contains sub-topics which you can switch on or off (for example, the Clothes topic has sub-topics including types of coats, types of trousers etc);
- you select the voices that you want to read the Spanish vocabulary and English glosses (see below for information about downloading voices);
- then, you click Create Podcast, where you will be prompted to set a file name; clicking Create then starts the podcast creation process;
- then, you sit back and have a coffee or go to lunch? depending on the voice youve selected, the creation process takes a few minutes.
You should now have a lovely, shiny podcast to listen to. Copy the resulting file to your favourite WAV or MP3 player (or iPod if Apple will let you) to listen to while youre on the bus or tube, walking the dog, or in a particularly dull meeting, geography lesson etc.
Vocabularium is cross-platform and will run on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux.

System requirements:
-
- LAME

Enhancements
- This release adds 3 new vocabulary topics, and a couple of bug fixes and improvements.

Although USB to Ethernet adaptors are cheap and plentiful, Mac OS X drivers are not.
USB-to-Ethernet offers you USB to Ethernet Adaptor Drivers.
There are two basic catagories of USB-To-Ethernet adaptors:
- USB 1.1 devices that use a Pegasus driver.
- USB 2.0 devices that use a AX8817x driver (or its successor, the AX88772).
Each disk image includes an installer for Panther or Tiger, and a "src" folder containing the corresponding xCode projects.
Installation
Download and mount the appropriate driver disk image listed above, run the corresponding installer for Panther or Tiger, and then restart your system as suggested. The Installer will ask you to authenticate so it can place the corresponding driver in "/System/Library/Extensions/" with the correct file permisions to load as a kernel extension.
Next, plug-in your Ethernet adaptor with a live Ethernet cable attached. When you open the Network Preferences panel, it should inform you that a new port has appeared and ask if you want to enable it. Enable the new port and apply your network settings. Thats it.
Each driver is pre-configured to recognize a handfull of common devices. If your device does not appear to be recognized by the driver, you might have to add it to the Info.plist file, which is located inside the USBPegasusEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext directory. You can use the System Profiler or USBProber tool to find the corresponding Product ID and Vendor ID.
To uninstall the driver, make sure any USB adaptors are disconnected, and then drag the corresponding driver in /System/Library/Extensions/ USBPegaususEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext to the trash. You may need to authenticate that you have administrator privileges.
USB 1.1 Performance
The Pegasus chipset provides a USB 1.1 compatible implementation which could be a concern for some users. USB 1.1 runs at 1.5 Mbps (low speed) or 12 Mbps (full speed). For best performance, its important to isolate any low speed devices on a separate bus. Mice and keyboards often run at low speed.
Using the Link Rate tool in IPNetMonitorX, I measured the link rate to another device on my LAN as 6 Mbps. The built-in Ethernet on my 12" PBG4 reported 44 Mpbs. When I measured the link rate to the next hop router through my cable modem, it reported 1 mbps. It didnt make any difference whether I used Ethernet built-in or the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor. Finally, I downloaded a 2.2 MB file to compare the throughput using the Monitor tool.
Both downloads took 5 seconds, but Ethernet built-in reached a peak rate of 589 KBps versus 579 kBps. Repeating the experiment several times produced similar results. Ethernet built-in might be 1-2% faster, but performance was clearly limited by the speed of my cable modem (Your Mileage May Vary).
USB 2.0 Performance
The AX8817x chip set provides a USB 2.0 compatible implementation which runs at up to 480 Mbps (high speed), so it should be possible to keep up with 100 Mbps fast ethernet as long as there are no other slower devices on the same bus. To test this I copied a 64.8 MB music file to my PBG4 laptop connected through a LinkSys USB200M Ethernet Adaptor (en3) and compared this to the same file transfer using Built-in Ethernet (en0).
Both transfers reached 10 MBps (80-90 Mbps) and took about 10 seconds. I repeated the test in the other direction.
While the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor was slightly slower, at 80 Mbps there was little noticeable difference. Files moved quickly from one system to another via 100 Mbps fast Ethernet. Copying the same file using AirPort wireless took 50-90 seconds.
Stability
While other USB-To-Ethernet drivers are reported to be buggy, I havent encountered any stability problems to date. The adaptor turns off when the computer goes to sleep and comes back on when the computer awakes. It does not support "Wake On LAN" at this time.
Wrap Up
This USB-To-Ethernet Adaptor combination could be an attractive solution for a Mac Mini, or old iBook used as an Internet gateway or server. Im particularly fond of using old laptops as servers since they are compact, quiet, use little energy, and include their own battery backup.
