PurdyCalc 1.3
PurdyCalc - Runners tool to compare performances more>>
PurdyCalc is written for runners of every ability level, so give it a try. This application was inspired by the "Classic" version which I personally found very useful. Hopefully you will find the OS X version to be useful; I have included everything the old version had and more.
Enhancements:
- Total rewrite.
- Added a toolbar to the main window. I realize that this is a bit cumbersome on such a small window, but it makes it easier for the casual user to see the functions other than the calculator and chart.
- Moved Read Me inside of the application package. Now its accessible under the Help menu.
- Removed QotD. It annoyed me, and made the program larger.
- Brushed up input handling.

NicePlayer 0.95
NicePlayer aims to be a QuickTime player designed for playing movies nicely more>>
This program features full screen or border-less floating windows, and convenient controls for scrubbing or queuing movies.
Right now NicePlayer is in early development, and while its not refined, it is quite functional, and should suit the needs of many.
Designed from the ground up from people who like to watch movies, NicePlayer does all of the things that you would expect from a media player, and all of the things you didnt know you needed.
Main features:
- Easy to Use Interface. With an interface that only appears when you need it, NicePlayer makes it more convenient and easier to play all of your media. Double click on the window to change to full screen. Right click to pause. Use the scroll wheel to change the window size.
- The Size You Want. Because NicePlayer allows you to use the scroll wheel to adjust playback of your movie to arbitrary sizes, you can easily do your work while watching a movie. You can even adjust the size of the window when playing DVDs -- so when you come across one of those widescreen DVDs encoded in full frame, you can zoom in so that you dont get black bars on all four sides of the movie when watching on your Powerbook or Cinema Display (using NicePlayers "Fit Width" command also simplfies this more in most cases).
- Playlists. Queue up multiple media files and have them play sequentially, automatically.
- Plugins. QuickTime doesnt support playing the files you want to watch? NicePlayer has an open plugin architecture to support other media playback engines as well. That means that anyone can create a plugin to embed another media playback engine so NicePlayer can go be extended past QuickTime (i.e. DVD Playback, VLC).
Enhancements:
- Fixes a crashing bug caused by the DVD plugin
- Universal Binary
- Supports the Apple Remote
- Added an option to disable the scroll wheel
- Now uses almost no CPU when idle
- New smarter resizing (resize from screen edge)
- Fixed DVD aspect ratio scaling framework problems
- Fixed auto-starting of playback after minimize
Claustrophobia 1.0
Claustrophobia - Cubical icon set more>>
The icons are best viewed in 128x128 at 32bit mode.
IconLocker 3.2.2
IconLocker - Write-protect IconDropper packs that you author more>>
When the pack is locked, IconPacker will not open the file. The protection keeps other registered users from modifying your pack and redistributing it as their own work.
To use IconLocker, you drop an icon pack on the applications icon. You will then see a window with the current status of the lock. If someone else owns the lock for the file, it tells you so. If its your own pack, you can modify the state of the lock checkbox and save the changes.
The number of icons in the pack is also displayed in the window; we use this so we can tell people how many icons they will be downloading from the Web page. The icon displayed in the window is the first one in the pack; its there because we cant display a window without an icon :-)
If you are locking the pack, youll see a gold lock on the pack when you return to the Finder. This tells you (and other users) that the pack cant be edited. If you want to make changes to the pack at a later date, you must first unlock the pack. If youre on Mac OS 8.5 or later, youll also see a 32-bit icon for the locked or unlocked pack.

Web Control 1.0.8
Web Control - Edit the Apache webserver configuration files (httpd.conf) more>>
How do I use it?
Id like to say, first thing, that this application is not for the casual user. It makes editing Apaches configuration file easier, but you still need to know how the configuration file works. If you need help with the configuration file, refer to the Apache manual at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/.
How much will it cost me?
Nothing. Nada. Zilch. In other words, completely free. Im committed to keeping all of my applications free, both now and in the future.
Enhancements:
- Name has changed from Webserver Configuration to Web Control.
- New icon.
- Multiple selection is now available.
- Dragging or pasting any of the configuration directives into a text editor will show what they look like in the actual configuration file.
- Fixed a few issues with undo/redo support.
- Row height has been increased so that it is easier to read the directives/values without having to resize the window to ridiculous widths.
- Added an "Open Quickly" menu to the File menu. This will display all of the configuration files Web Control is able to find in the httpd config directory.
- Now able to open multiple configuration files, instead of only the httpd.conf file.
- Able to change the location of the httpd config directory. Previously, it was assumed to be at /etc/httpd with no way to change this. Same goes for the apachectl script.
- If the application is not authorized, editing of the configuration file is not allowed. Previously, this was allowed, even though saving of the file was not.
- Background colors and comment colors are now user settable in the preferences.
- Greatly enhanced the parsing engine. Web Control can really open any file with an extension of .conf now. (This is not, of course, encouraged.)
- Authorization button updated to look more like 10.3s authorization view.
- Many, many internal code improvements.

RAW Developer 1.8.4
powerful RAW image processing and conversion application designed and optimized specifically for Mac OS X. more>>
RAW Developer 1.8.4 is a very tractable and powerful RAW image conversion application designed and optimized specifically for Mac OS X.
RAW Developer gives advanced photographers total control over every aspect of their digital camera's output, yet still provides easy drag and drop batch conversion and access to basic adjustments for the casual user. Thanks in large part to Dave Coffin's work on the open source RAW decoding program dcraw, RAW developer is able to support files from over 150 digital camera models.
Note that in spite of using portions of dcraw for decoding RAW image files, essentially the entire image processing pipeline is completely unique to RAW Developer this includes the demosaicing algorithms used for all cameras based on RGB color filters (which is nearly all of them), all color management operations, all other processing adjustments, sharpening, noise reduction and final file format conversion.
Major Features:
- Completely non-destructive image processing.
- Fast, High Quality Image Previews
- High Quality Image Processing, 16 bits/channel (48bit RGB) or for some operations 32 bits per/channel high dynamic range floating point
- Easy, flexible batch conversion: High quality image interpolation alogorithms give excellent image detail with minimal demosaicing artifacts. All image processing operations are performed at 16 bits per channel or greater. RAW Developer 1.5 features improved demosaic processing with further refinements to already exceptional image detail and reduced color noise along high contrast edges.
- Advanced Sharpening and Noise Reduction Algorithms: RAW Developer offers four advanced sharpening methods, including unsharp mask, difference of gaussian, "hybrid" sharpen and Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution (Mac OS X 10.4 or later only). All are processed in 32 bits/channel floating point CIELab color space to avoid color artifacts. Powerful hot/dead pixel filters and noise reduction algorithms help eliminate noise, especially from images taken with long exposures or high ISO settings.
- Image File and EXIF Information Window: RAW Developer offers a meta data information window which displays detailed image file and EXIF information.
- Flexible Monochrome (Black And White) Conversion Options: Flexible black and white conversion options including RGB channel mixer, Lab lightness, luma, desaturate, intensity and custom duotones.
- Extensive Image Adjustment Options: You're in total control of every step of the conversion process, multiple fully user editable tone curves, customizable color correction matrix, flexible ICC color matching options, exposure compensation, white balance, contrast, saturation and more.
- ICC Color Management Support through ColorSync: Ability to specify camera or image specific input profiles, working space profiles for image adjustments and final image output profiles. At this time only RGB color spaces are supported.
- Unlimited batch processing: You can continue making image adjustments while other images are converted in the background. Supports, easy drag and drop image conversion with flexible file naming options and support for multiple file formats including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, JPEG2000 and more.
- What You See Is What You Get: RAW developer allows you to view and make all image adjustments while viewing a full resolution, fully color managed, 16 bit per channel preview.
- Support for EXIF Meta Data: EXIF meta data is supported when exporting to JPEG or TIFF image formats. Supported fields depend on camera model, but generally include shutter speed, aperture, ISO speed, focal length, exposure mode, metering mode, flash information, camera make/model and date digitized.
- Flexible Histogram View: Supports 256, 512 or an extra wide 1024 levels of detail. Viewing modes include RGB, individual R, G, B channels, all three colors at once, CIE Lightness, CIE Luminance, CIE Chroma (ab), luminosity, hue and saturation.
- Multithreaded and Velocity Engine (AltiVec) (or SSE) optimized: Takes full advantage of multi-core and multi processor systems and the advanced capibilities of the PowerPC G4 and G5 and Intel processors. All image processing is handled by secondary threads so your work is never blocked waiting for processing to complete.
- "Processing Disabled" Output Mode: Ability to bypass all image adjustments and all color matching operations for fast, high quality export of linear files intended for further processing with other image processing programs or RAW workflows. Also useful for creating non-color matched output for use in generating custom camera or scene profiles with ICC camera profiling software.
Enhancements:
- New Features:
- Support added for Canon Rebel T1i/500D/Kiss X3.
- Support added for Nikon D5000.

Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed 1.0b5

Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed 1.0b5 comes as an interesting mod (as in modification) for the squad-based military tactical shooter game "Tom Clancys Ghost Recon", which was published for PC by Red Storm Entertainment and Ubisoft in 2001, and for Macintosh by Aspyr Media in 2002.
This mod is a tribute to the Ghost Recon community. Its aspiration is to honor the makers and fans of this great game, and to be a token of appreciation for all the people who contributed to the Ghost Recon universe over the years.
Ghost Recon: Heroes Unleashed is the redux of popular content that has been introduced to the game by various other mods in the past, and it strives to incorporate those elements of Ghost Recons history into a timeless collection, meticulously complemented by novel features.
The mod makes more than 100 maps and missions available in single and multiplayer mode and offers over 200 different weapons to choose from. All additions have been carefully integrated and balanced to provide a homogeneous level of professional audio-visual and technical finish.
Heroes Unleashed is aiming to improve and expand many aspects of the original game to increase its already highly addictive replayability, while remaining true to Ghost Recons unique character and concept.
It also tries to intensify the realistic feel and immersive qualities of the game, making it more challenging and emphasizing the atypical Ghost Recon game style: Tactical team play rather than the "solo, run and shoot, wanna-live-forever" style found in many other FPS games.
If you are looking for killing sprees and fragfests, move right along, there is nothing to see here. Just as the original, Heroes Unleashed is predominantly about tactics and teamwork, and a good strategy will serve you much better than quick reflexes and an itchy trigger finger.
With the combination of all of its features, Heroes Unleashed seeks to create the optimum Ghost Recon experience for both single player games as well as multiplayer battles, whether Co-Op, Solo or Team based ones. The mod wants to accommodate a full spectrum of players from the casual gamer, over regular clan and guild players, up to league professionals.
I hope that Heroes Unleashed will provide you with many extra hours of fun in playing one of the best computer games ever devised.
