Cheap-o-Scope - Convert Quicktime movies into Adobe Filmstrip files more>>
Adobe Premiere will also import them, but if youre using iMovie, youll need to convert. Filmstrip is a good format for doing rotoscoping and animation work if you dont have the money for a separate rotoscoping product.
Using Cheap-o-Scope really couldnt be easier - simply drop a Quicktime movie on it, or select the movie from the "Open..." dialog and a Filmstrip file will be created that can be edited or modified in Photoshop or another image editing program. When you are done editing the file, simply drop the filmstrip (.flm) file on the Cheap-o-Scope icon or select the file from the "Open..." dialog, and it will output it to a Quicktime movie (Note: if Cheap-o-Scope wasnt in the Applications folder when you started OS X, dragging files onto its icon may not work).
Filmstrip files are very large and I wouldnt recommend doing more than a few seconds of footage at a time unless you have a very high powered machine with lots of speed and plenty of RAM. Filmstrip files also do not support a sound track, so you should keep the original movie so that you have the original sound - you can merge the new movie with the old sound in iMovie without any great difficulty.
Enhancements:
- Adds ability to select compression for final movie
- Rebuilt with debug symbols and zerolink turned off.

MacSpice 2.10.19
Electronic circuit simulator and analyzer. more>>
MacSpice 2.10.19 brings you a powerful electronic circuit simulator and analyzer. It can range in complexity from a single resistor to an integrated circuit comprising tens-of-thousands of devices. It has users who range in experience from school-age enthusiasts to retired integrated circuit designers. It is used at various universities internationally for research and teaching.
Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of the circuit as input. This 'netlist' is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit and analyses this.
A command interpreter (shell) is used to specify the types of analyses that are required and how the results should be processed, saved or displayed. The high quality of the MacSpice command interpreter makes the automation of tasks straightforward.
Simulation is a tool, not a magic-wand. The quality of the results depends on the accuracy of the netlist and the device models use. Within Spice most devices are ideal - its resistor, for example, has just one property: resistance. A real resistor has parasitic inductance and capacitance; if these have a significant influence on the circuit, they must be added explicitly to the netlist.

USB-to-Ethernet 1.0
USB-to-Ethernet offers you USB to Ethernet Adaptor Drivers more>>
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.
The Levelator 1.1.0
The Levelator adjusts the audio levels within your podcast or other audio file more>>
Its not a compressor, normalizer or limiter although it contains all three. Its much more than those tools, and its much simpler to use.
The UI is dirt-simple: Drag-and-drop any WAV or AIFF file onto The Levelers application window, and a few moments later youll find a new version which just sounds better.
Have you ever recorded an interview in which you and your guest ended up at different volumes? How about a panel discussion where some people were close to microphones and others were not?
These are the problems the post-production engineers of Team ITC solve every day, and it used to sometimes take them hours of painstaking work with expensive and complex tools like SoundTrack Pro, Audacity, Sound Forge or Audition to solve them. Now it takes mere seconds. Seriously. The Levelator is unlike any other audio tool youve ever seen, heard or used. Its magic. And its free.
When we developed the IT Conversations component-based show-assembly system (the first generation of GigaVox Audio Lite, see below), we realized all the components had to be of the same loudness or the results would sound awful. We limped along for many months using the RMS normalization functions in various applications, but the results werent satisfactory and it required tools and skillsets that some of our post-production audio engineers didnt have.
One of our best engineers, Bruce Sharpe, offered to write a standalone software RMS normalization utility, which weve been using as part of our production system GVUploader for nearly a year.
The GVUploaders normalizer acts similar to an intelligent RMS-based compressor/limiter combination, and it therefore affects primarily the short-term (transient) sounds and the long-term overall loudness of the file. It doesnt make the kind of adjustments that a skilled audio engineer can perform in software or at a mixing console, riding the levels up and down to compensate for medium-term variations.
There are some hardware devices such as various AGC (automatic-gain control) components that can do moderate leveling, but since they have to operate in real time (i.e., without look-ahead), they cant do much. And they arent cheap, let alone free.
Even a skilled human can only react to changes unless s/he is lucky enough to be present during a recording session and can use visual cues to anticipate coming variations. Software can do better by performing multiple passes over the audio, generating a loudness map of where the volume changes. (Its not actually that simple, but the metaphor can help.)

Music Machine 15 1.0
Music Machine 15 is created to be a handy tool which has two options for performance. more>>
Music Machine 15 1.0 is created to be a handy tool which has two options for performance. The first option (satiean) is to play Satie's piece Vexations as it was written, repeating the chord pattern 840 times. The second option (cagean) is based on Satie's Vexations but is also based on Cage's Cheap Imitation. This option will use the same rhythm as Satie's original and will also use the same chords (but not necessarily in the same order).
If the cagean option is chosen the machine will run indefinitely until stopped by the user. Please note the music machine is a stand alone application that will play music within parameters set by the composer not the user. Other music machines that offer some intervention by the user are available from the music machine website - follow the link from this page.
MogileFS 2.20
Distributed (meta) file system. Spray files across cheap disks on your network. Pay less for storage. No proprietary on-disk file formats. more>> Distributed (meta) file system. Spray files across cheap disks on your network. Pay less for storage. No proprietary on-disk file formats.
MogileFS is an open source distributed filesystem. MogileFS is not:
- POSIX Compliant -- you dont run regular Unix applications or databases against MogileFS. Its meant for archiving write-once files and doing only sequential reads. (though you can modify a file by way of overwriting it with a new version)
- Completely portable ... yet -- there still is some Linux-ism in the code, at least in the HTTP transport cod, but the plan is to scrap that and make it portable
Main features:>
- Application level -- no special kernel modules required.
- No single point of failure -- all three components of a MogileFS setup (storage nodes, trackers, and the trackers database(s)) can be run on multiple machines, so theres no single point of failure. (you can run trackers on the same machines as storage nodes, too, so you dont need 4 machines...) A minimum of 2 machines is recommended.
- Automatic file replication -- files, based on their "class", are automatically replicated between enough different storage nodes as to satisfy the minimum replica count as requested by their class. For instance, for a photo hosting site you can make original JPEGs have a minimum replica count of 3, but thumbnails and scaled versions only have a replica count of 1 or 2. If you lose the only copy of a thumbnail, the application can just rebuild it. In this way, MogileFS (without RAID) can save money on disks that would otherwise be storing multiple copies of data unnecessarily.
- "Better than RAID" -- in a non-SAN RAID setup, the disks are redundant, but the host isnt. If you lose the entire machine, the files are inaccessible. MogileFS replicates the files between devices which are on different hosts, so files are always available.
- Flat Namespace -- Files are identified by named keys in a flat, global namespace. You can create as many namespaces as youd like, so multiple applications with potentially conflicting keys can run on the same MogileFS installation.
- Shared-Nothing -- MogileFS doesnt depend on a pricey SAN with shared disks. Every machine maintains its own local disks.
- No RAID required -- Local disks on MogileFS storage nodes can be in a RAID, or not. Its cheaper not to, as RAID doesnt buy you any safety that MogileFS doesnt already provide.
- Local filesystem agnostic -- Local disks on MogileFS storage nodes can be formatted with your filesystem of choice (ext3, XFS, etc..). MogileFS does its own internal directory hashing so it doesnt hit filesystem limits such as "max files per directory" or "max directories per directory". Use what youre comfortable with.
