Shredder Widget 1.2.1
Shredder Widget - digital document shredder right in your Dashboard more>> Shredder Widget - digital document shredder right in your Dashboard
Shredder Widget will give you the convenience and security of a digital document shredder right in your Dashboard; even better, its 100% silent and doesnt leave shredded bits about for you to clean up later. Its variable shred levels give you just the amount of protection you need.
Low: Bypass the trash can. Though this isnt as secure a deletion of your files, it is a quick way to get rid of those files you know you dont need, leaving the trash can for those things you just might want to dig out later.
Medium: Secure erase. This mode overwrites your shredded documents with a US Department of Defence compliant 7 pass procedure.
High: Virtual Paper Pulp. Use this setting for only the most sensetive files. Though it might be slow, the 35 pass Gutmann algorithm will ensure that no data from these files is ever recovered.
The digital document shredder is everything you need to feel secure while sitting in front of your Mac. And, with the upcoming release of Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard with Time Machine, this widget will step up to the task of making sure that not even travel backward through time can recover the data you want to permanently remove from your system.
Be careful, though: shredding is total and permanent, and Interdimension Media assumes no responsibility for any loss of data that you may incur through its use (thats the point, though, right?). Just watch out; the desire to round up some digital scraps of paper just for the satisfaction of watching them shred to bits may overtake you.
To shred a document, click and drag a file from the Finder. Then use a hotkey (F12 by default) to call up Dashboard, keeping the document in hand. Drop it on the shredder to permanently erase it from your system.
Enhancements
- Leopard compatibility
- Cycle shred level while dragging (hover over indicator light)
- Cycle shred level with spacebar
- Now shreds documents with foreign characters in filename
- Smoother animation

SubRosa Encryptor allows you to take files or folders and convert them to an encrypted secure, "Internet friendly" archive that can be stored on your computer or sent to a friend without worrying about prying eyes. Your personal stuff gets translated into a secure format using technology similar to that used with online banking (128 bit dynamic encryption with rolling keys, and stream encryption).
Subrosa Shredder allows you to securely erase files from your computer in a manner which makes it impossible for anyone to retrieve those files. Much like the common office shredder, it will take any documents you throw into it and turn them into pulp. Technically, this is achieved by writing an industry recognized secure pattern over the entire contents of the file, changing the relevant directory information, and then instructing the operating system to remove the remnants.

Anki Stream 0.1.1
A tool for long-term flash card review Anki Stream is a tool for long-term flash card review, mostly necessary when learning foreign languages more>> A tool for long-term flash card review
Anki Stream is a tool for long-term flash card review, mostly necessary when learning foreign languages.
Like Piotr Wozniaks SuperMemo, Damien Elmes Anki, and the Mnemosyne Project, it schedules flash cards for review using spaced repetition, allowing thousands and tens of thousands of words to be remembered over years and decades. Anki Stream focuses in particular on presenting an intuitive visualization of how cards are scheduled and making the scheduling formula transparent and adjustable by the user.
The Problem
Do you need to memorize a ton of stuff and keep it in your mind for a long time? Flash cards work well for memorizing new words in a foreign language or other small chunks of information.
If you review them frequently, the flash cards can also keep the words or info chunks fresh in your mind over long periods of time, even if you dont use them often in daily life.
But when you are studying intensively for a big foreign language exam, like I am right now for the level 1 JLPT, there are so many new words to learn that without a smart, automatic method of organizing your flash cards for review, your card pile will quickly grow out of hand and become useless.
For example, the level 1 JLPT requires that you learn about 10,000 Japanese words, mostly written in the 2000 or so characters of the general use kanji, no less.
So if you have 10,000 flash cards in front of you, how do you review them? When you sit down to review, you need to know which of your thousands of cards to study right now, and which you still remember well enough to not waste time on.
Main features:
