iDictionary Lite 1.0 provides you with a sophisticated Mac OS X application which lets you put a dictionary and/or thesaurus onto your iPod. iDictionary Lite leverages the Oxford dictionary available with OS X 10.4 along with some very smart filtering and optimization techniques to create a dictionary or thesaurus that will fit on an iPod. The dictionary or thesaurus is displayed on your iPod using the iPod's built in "Notes" feature.
The "Notes" feature, which is needed to view a dictionary or thesaurus on your iPod, is available on 3rd generation or newer iPods (sold since April, 2003.). iDictionary Lite restricts the dictionaries created to letters A-D. If you want to be able to access a full dictionary or thesaurus you must purchase a license for the standard version of iDictionary.
Requirements:
- OS X 10.4 or higher
- 3rd generation or higher iPod

Amazing Maze 2.0
Amazing Maze - Infinite and Interactive Realtime Composition for Sampled Sound Particles more>>
Amazing Maze is a work-in-progress that started in 1993 when I was working at IRCAM (Paris). In this realtime composition I attempted to realize ideas that have been haunting me for many years, and which I first accomplished in Lexikon-Sonate (1992-2007) for computer-controlled piano. Both pieces envisage a new type of music
which composes itself at the time of its sounding
which is not merely a reproduction of a pre-fabricated notation
which is capable of reacting on exterior influences
which exhibits infinite temporal expansion
which never repeats itself.
Amazing Maze is represented by a computer program which generates music by manipulating sampled instrumental sounds according to certain compositional strategies that are carried out in different structure generators. Each generator synthesizes its own characteristic sound world.
The compositional algorithms are currently programmed in MaxMSP by taking advantage of my Real Time Composition Library (RTC-lib). This collection of software modules offers the possibility to experiment with a number of compositional techniques, such as serial procedures, permutations and controlled randomness.
The sound material used in Amazing Maze is based on instrumental interpretations of three different types of sounds: points, grids, and planes which have been worked out for different instruments exploring sound qualities beyond the normal playing.
R for Mac OS X 2.9
R for Mac OS X is such an essential program which provides a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. more>>
R for Mac OS X 2.9 is such an essential program which provides a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
R is similar to the award-winning S system, which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, ...).
R is designed as a true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and alternation, and it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, C, C++ and Fortran code can be linked and called at run time.
Apart from specific innovations in R itself this new build provides a brand new Cocoa GUI designed and implemented from scratch with many new features. Among these: internal editor with syntax highlighting, code and file completion, enhanced AppleScript support, new packages installer and manager, data editor and manager.
Pandora Widget 1.0.2
Pandora Widget - Widget for the music streaming service more>>
Well, I made a Dashboard widget for Pandora.
Caveats (not my fault):
1) Dashboard in Tiger doesnt pass events through to Flash applets very reliably (its a known issue), so its can be hard to click on things (try clicking in rapid succession). But it plays music fine. Its probably easier to set up your account and music preferences in your web browser first, and then just use the widget for listening to music (think: "It shuffles music for you").
2) Pandora takes a while to load (like 10 seconds).
Enhancements:
- Minor update for Pandora system changes.
SimpleMail 2.0.3beta1
SimpleMail is the easiest e-mail client there is, providing the user with the best protection there is against viruses and spam more>>
The software is compatible with many popular anti-virus programs, but the UAP (Unwanted Access Protection) eliminates all need for such programs. The UAP is upgraded on a regular basis, so please update as accordingly and check for new updates approximately every month. The UAP technology exclusive to SimpleMail adapts to the type of e-mail you receive, providing greater protection than when you first install the software.
Enhancements:
- SimpleMail now uses UAP v1.5, and advanced server querying techniques, for faster server response time.

iX Screen Effects 1.2
iX Screen Effects - Classic screensavers remade with Cocoa/Quartz/OpenGL more>>
Macintosh systems shut the monitor off to save energy and improve screen life, and use other techniques to prevent "burn in" on CRT systems. But screen savers are loads of fun, and if one pops up on your screen in an idle moment, or when the phone rings and you take your hands off the keyboard, they can be a pleasant distraction.
It includes original screen savers and the developers version of some classic savers, and even a couple that are down right "retro". Each screen saver has some sort of tunable options, because they are fun. iX Screen Savers are written in Objective C, using Cocoa and Quartz. A few saver, including Xirtam and BabelBloX, use OpenGL.
ProMimport 4.0
ProMimport - extract process enactment event logs from a set of information systems more>>
What the heck is going on inside your organization? Does your information system support your processes the way you intended it to? Or is it driving your workforce crazy? Do you get the quality, performance and throughput that were promised to you by your vendor? Do you need to have a serious word with your process designer?
Process Mining techniques give you a powerful tool to assess the quality and performance of your business process. They can given you insight into tacit knowledge and hidden practices. And they can assist you in pinpointing that points within your process or organization, where things just go plain wrong.
MXML is an extensible, XML-based format for storing process event logs. It is the format supported by process mining analysis tools, such as ProM.
Converting your logs to, and storing them in, the MXML format makes them accessible for in-depth analysis with some of todays most advanced business process intelligence tools.
The ProM Import Framework has been designed from the ground up to make converting event log data to MXML a snap. Its convenient interface and powerful capabilities make it usable for even novice and non-technical audiences. At the same time, it is designed as a developer-friendly framework.
Most functionality you may need for stitching together an import filter for your own excentric system is provided out of the box. Forget user interface design, persistency of data and configuration options, and dependency resolution - its all there, tried, tested, and ready for your spin.
Both as a user and developer you will find, that the ProM Import Framework actively supports you in what you have in mind: Get the job done. No fuzz and rebuilding thanks to an advanced plug-in concept. And MXML persistency in all supported storage variants.
The back-end, which the ProM Import Framework uses for working with and persistently storing MXML event log data, has recently been made available as the MXMLib library. Make your process-aware information system capable to export its audit trails in MXML in a matter of hours!
Both the ProM Import Framework and the MXMLib library are published under the revised BSD license. We welcome additions to our code base, most invited are submissions of further plug-ins, for whatever system they may support. Join the ranks of our log-reverse-engineering squad, and write an import filter plug-in for your system of choice!
