Image-A-Gogo 1.0b4
Image-A-Gogo is a practical and must-have application which takes a search string and passes it off to the almighty Googles image search engine and retrieves all pages of the search results as HTML more>>
Image-A-Gogo 1.0b4 is a practical and must-have application which takes a search string and passes it off to the almighty Google's image search engine and retrieves all pages of the search results as HTML. It then parses the results and loads the thumbnails into memory and presents you with a simple interface to the data.
There are a few advantages to using Image-A-Gogo over Google's web-based interface. First and foremost, Image-A-Gogo allows you to bypass the image's source web page and just get the image. This avoids annoying pop-up and pop-under ads since the JavaScript that produces those ads is never loaded or executed. You can also edit and save the results of the search on your hard drive for later use or can export to a web page for others to peruse.
With Google, you have to go back to the server each time you want to repeat the same search, and can only view a small subset of the results at a time. Also, since Google image search is still in beta, there are a lot of incorrect and duplicate links. Duplicate links are weeded automatically so you don't have to deal with them; incorrect ones can be weeded out as they are discovered. You can also specify that only images that are a certain size or larger are returned, thus eliminating wasting time on thumbnails.
Pure Vinyl 3.0PR2b
Pure Vinyl comes as a great suite of audio applications which is designed specifically for the high quality digital transcription and playback of vinyl LP records. more>>
Pure Vinyl 3.0PR2b comes as a great suite of audio applications which is designed specifically for the high quality digital transcription and playback of vinyl LP records.
Pure Vinyl is intended for professional or technically-oriented audio enthusiasts, who own high-end equipment, and who want to create, edit and play back the highest possible quality vinyl transcriptions; with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of fun.
Pure Vinyl uniquely combines a fun and intuitive "scratch" style grab-and-spin editor with realistic, "virtual vinyl" platter images, rendered from the digitized audio. Automatic gain riding and looping insures accurate track location, even in the presence of vinyl background noise.
A high quality resampling feature simultaneously saves CD format audio while monitoring and recording raw or equalized audio at sample rates up to 192 kHz. Editing operations are nondestructive, and precision, 64-bit real-time inverse RIAA equalization is included.
The download functions as a demo until an activation code purchased. A free, built-in visualizer feature fetches tracks from iTunes playlists and creates an entertaining animation of spinning, "45 RPM" vinyl discs.
Enhancements:
- Preview Release 2b will automatically disconnect from iTunes if iTunes is quit (instead of relaunching iTunes); includes a new option to bypass iTunes control of playhead position, and optionally using a floating controller window instead of direct control via the iTunes UI (which can be CPU heavy on older computers: single core Intel or older processors).
Frictionless 2.0d14
Frictionless - To-do list manager, Mail/Quicksilver integration more>>
The idea is that when you are processing, you can use the projects view to capture all the things you have to do. Then when you are doing, you can use the contexts view so you only have to see the items you can work on right now.
This bypasses the problem with most to-do list programs in that if you do a complete to-do list, you have 200 items, of which only 20 are presently actionable. By slicing your actions by context, you only need look at Errands when you are ready to run errands.
Frictionless is kind of complicated, so reading the documentation is pretty much required. Reading David Allens book is also reccomended because it will give you the productivity tips you need to make the rest of your work process more productive and stress free.
Enhancements:
- Fixed the bug with deleting a whole hierarchy of actions. Thanks to Jason for reporting it.
- Added automated updates via the very cool Sparkle framework.
- Fixed the bug where when you drag a tree of actions in the outline to a new parent, the tree got flattened. Now just moves the parents of the sub items.
- New RubyCocoa Version
- Marking/unmarking a tree of items as someday should be more obvious. That is, if a parent of an item is marked "someday" so that it and all of its children arent considered "actionable" then the children show up marked as someday as well. If you unmark the child, it unmarks the whole tree.
- Hitting a, t, or d switches the filters between actionable, to-do and done per a user request.
- Quick Start is now integrated into Frictionless via WebKit
Privoxy 3.0.14 Beta
Privoxy offers you a complete non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities which is designed for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk. more>>
Privoxy 3.0.14 Beta offers you a complete non-caching web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities which is designed for enhancing privacy, modifying web page data and HTTP headers, controlling access, and removing ads and other obnoxious Internet junk.
Privoxy has a flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. It has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. Privoxy is Free Software and licensed under the GPL2. Privoxy is an associated project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI).
Major Features:
- Can keep outgoing connections alive and reuse them later on.
- Supports tagging which allows to change the behavior based on client and server headers.
- Can be run as an "intercepting" proxy, which obviates the need to configure browsers individually.
- Sophisticated actions and filters for manipulating both server and client headers.
- Can be chained with other proxies.
- Integrated browser based configuration and control utility. Browser-based tracing of rule and filter effects. Remote toggling.
- Web page filtering (text replacements, removes banners based on size, invisible "web-bugs", JavaScript and HTML annoyances, pop-up windows, etc.)
- Modularized configuration that allows for standard settings and user settings to reside in separate files, so that installing updated actions files won't overwrite individual user settings.
- Support for Perl Compatible Regular Expressions in the configuration files, and a more sophisticated and flexible configuration syntax.
- Improved cookie management features (e.g. session based cookies).
- GIF de-animation.
- Bypass many click-tracking scripts (avoids script redirection).
- Multi-threaded (POSIX and native threads).
- User-customizable HTML templates for most proxy-generated pages (e.g. "blocked" page).
- Auto-detection and re-reading of config file changes.
- Improved signal handling, and a true daemon mode (Unix).
- Every feature now controllable on a per-site or per-location basis, configuration more powerful and versatile over-all.
- Many smaller new features added, limitations and bugs removed.
Enhancements:
- The latency is taken into account when evaluating whether or not to reuse a connection. This should significantly reduce the number of connections problems several users reported.
- If the server doesn't specify how long the connection stays alive, Privoxy errs on the safe side of caution and assumes it's only a second.
- The error pages for connection timeouts or missing server data use a Last-Modified date in the past. Retry attempts are detected and Privoxy removes the If-Modified-Since header to prevent the server from responding with status code 304 in which case the client would reuse the error message.
- Setting keep-alive-timeout to 0 disables keep-alive support. Previously Privoxy would claim to allow persistence but not reuse the connection.
- Pipelined requests are less likely to be mistaken for the request body of the previous request. Note that Privoxy still has no real pipeline support and will either serialize pipelined requests or drop them in which case the client has to resent them.
- Fixed a crash on some Windows versions when header randomization is enabled and the date couldn't be parsed.
- Privoxy's keep-alive timeout for the current connection is reduced to the one specified in the client's Keep-Alive header.
- For HTTP/1.1 requests, Privoxy implies keep-alive support by not If the socket isn't reusable, Privoxy doesn't temporarily waste a socket slot to remember the connection.
- If keep-alive support is disabled but compiled in, the client's Keep-Alive header is removed.
- Fixed a bug on mingw32 where downloading large files failed if keep-alive support was enabled.
- Fixed a bug that (at least theoretically) could cause log timestamps to be occasionally off by about a second.
- No Proxy-Connection header if added if there already is one.
- The configure script respects the $PATH variable when searching for groups and id.
Grace ASCII Import Wizard 0.2
Grace ASCII Import Wizard - Create 2D x-y plots from ASCII files more>>
The idea behind is to provide an intuitive, convenient, user-friendly GUI that makes the initial creation of complex plots from ASCII data files a breeze.
For MacOSX it comes in two "flavours": gaiw2grace - calls xmgrace in the X11 environment. gaiw2pdf - which uses gracebat to completely bypass X11 and produce directly a PDF which is opend in Apples preview, where it can be renamed and saved. For further information see included readmes.
Enhancements:
- Mac OS 10.3 binary installer.
