Flurry Heart 0.3.1 is such an innovative and handy program which lends you a helping hand to change the color of the particle depending of the built-in microphone volume input.
That means that the color of the heart will now change to another color depending on how loud you speak into the microphone. The sound-to-size is still enabled, so now when you speak into the microphone, it will not only change color, but size too.
Flurry Heart has a installation package that will help you install the screensaver properly in a few short steps, so you won't have to do it manually.
Requirements: Mac OS X 10.4
VoiceChatter 1.1.3
Free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application more>> Free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application
Voice Chatter is a free, cross-platform voice communication (chat) application. It was designed with gaming in mind, but can be used for many other purposes.
Now you can have the best voice quality available on your platform of choice.
Voice Chatter uses UDP for communication for the fastest possible communication. This is why Voice Chatter is capable of providing such low latency for voice communication.It also makes the network code a lot simpler and more efficient.
If someone is dropping a lot of voice packets, they are simply dropped rather than guaranteed to be played at some later time. This also means that there are no more "recaps" of conversations long over like in other voice communication software.
NOTE: Voice Chatter is still under heavy development, but the feature set is large enough to be useful in the general case.
Main features:
- Talk with friends, family, or teammates over a fast and clear connection
- Ability to use text chat for anyone without a microphone
- Support for all 3 major platforms
- Admin features including kick/ban and move clients
- Saved server list for easily managing any servers that you use
- Password protected servers and channels
- Nested channels
- Codec quality/bandwidth usage control
- Support for ALSA, Windows MME, DirectSound, and CoreAudio
- Voice activated transmission
- User comments
- Text to speech and/or audio file event notifications
- Automatic microphone volume normalization
Enhancements
- Fixed a bug in sending chat messages that would prepend an extra character
- Added ability to specify a specific network interface for the server to bind to (IPv4 only)
- Added ability to specify where the server will write its log file
- Added task bar icon functionality and the ability to minimize to the taskbar (windows/linux only)
- Fixed a crash when disconnecting a remote admin connection soon after sending a command
- Added a native input manager for mac, which should substantially improve input latency
- Note: If you happen to experience a crash on startup with the mac port of this version, try opening ~/.voicechatter/vchat.conf and set "Use Native Input Manager" to "false". If you run into this issue, please post on the forums to let me know.
Conan the Librarian X 1.1
Conan the Librarian X is a torture tool more>>
A torture tool. Conan tells you to shut up when the incoming sound on your built in microphone reaches certain levels. This is a port of a very, very old System 7 extension for the Macintosh. It was one of my favorite useless apps for the Classic Mac OS.
How do I use Conan the Librarian X?
Ideally, you should install this app on the Mac of someone you hate. I have a list of 67 people, personally. Once installed on the Macintosh of your foe, double click the icon to launch. It runs as a faceless background application, so it will look as if nothing has happened. When running, Conan the Librarian listens in on the built in microphone. When the sound level gets to a certain point, it will tell you to shut up. The more sound that comes in, the angrier the Governor gets. If you need to kill the application because your life is being threatened, open up a Terminal window and type in the following command:
killall QUIT "Conan The Librarian"
Conan the Librarian X is 159% freeware. You may redistribute the application as you see fit, without notification to myself, as long as no fee is collected.
Enhancements:
- Version 1.1 is a little less sensitive to sounds.
- If Conan is still too sensitive, try lowering the Input Volume in the System Preferences (under Sound->Input).
