MothersHelper 0.1
MothersHelper - Tiles desktop with icon of frontmost (active) app. more>>
My mother is one of those people, and telling her to look at the "bold word next to the Apple in the menu bar" doesnt help. So I wrote this application for her.
It tracks what application is frontmost and tiles the desktop with the icon of that application, thus giving a subliminal visual indication of what application is frontmost.

Memento Mori 1.0r3
Memento Mori began as an independent study while the developer was studying graphic design at the University of Kansas more>> Memento Mori began as an independent study while the developer was studying graphic design at the University of Kansas. It was designed as a face that would be able to imitate Ancient Roman carvings, but without the feeling of "near perfect" quality that the computer renders. For this, I designed four different but subtle versions of each letterform, which are accessible from the same font to achieve a hand made look. Most people will hardly notice the differences between the letters, but closer examination will reveal the differences: slant, weight, stress, serifs, and widths. There are no lowercase (as the Romans didnt have lowercase), but a Small Caps suitcase has been included. With the small caps, you will be able to create logotypes (the NT and the RI in the title above). Refer to the key chart documentation on how to access all the characters. Additionally, for an example of how this typeface can be used, take a look at the sample image included in this archive.
Because of the complexity of this typeface, it should only be used with programs that have kerning abilities. Typing a letter to your mother with Memento Mori on the word processor of your choice will produce horrendous results. This font is happiest when used in programs like FreeHand, Illustrator, or Quark Xpress. Due to the large number of letter combinations, it would be very difficult to make specific kerning pairs.
System 7.0 or later.
uControl 1.4.6
uControl is a keyboard remapper and more. Meaning, those useless keys can now be reused, remapped, or reduced more>>
uControl gives you the ability to take those useless keys, that youre certain would have been better fashioned as something else, and turn them into something useful.
It started out as a simple hack to remap the caps lock key to a control key but has since evolved into a fairly sophisticated means of not only remapping modifier keys, but gives your trackpad a virtual scroll wheel, or gives lefties a sensible mouse, or gives people with disabilities the ability to type with one hand. Note: the one-handed typing ability has been removed due to possible patent infringement.
Main features:
- Swaps your left and right mouse buttons. Contributed by Paul Guyot.
- Apply Settings to a Particular Keyboard since version 1.3.0
- You can choose what keyboard you want a modifier mapping applied to. This is especially useful for external keyboards made for windows boxes that have the Option and Command key swapped (or alt and Windows keys in PC-speak).
- Scroll Wheel Emulation since version 1.2.0
- Gives your track pad, or mouse, a virtual scroll wheel. Hold down the key(s) of your choice, and your track pad instantly becomes a scroll wheel not just for vertical scroll bars, but horizontal ones as well. Use it once and youre hooked. Generously contributed by Alex Harper.
- Real Function Keys since version 1.0.7
- Removes the need to hold down the fn key to access the function keys (useful on laptops). The implementation of this feature was completely redone by Alex Harper in 1.3.5, and it works much, much better than before. It now uses the same method that OS 9 used. Also, many thanks to the Linux PPC folks, Jimi X and Matthias Grim, who discovered how to do the actual ADB muckery that was required.
- Power Delete since version 1.0.7
- Turns shift delete into a forward delete key. Generously contributed by Graham Bakay. (It should also be noted that fn-delete will give you forward delete.)
- Remap Caps Lock to Control since version 1.0.1
- The feature that started it all, and inspired this rant, "Tired of hitting all the wrong modifier keys on your laptop to get that simple control sequence? Are you forced to drag a keyboard around with you that has the control key in the right place? The place that Apple mistakenly put the caps lock key. Take control back! uControl maps your control key to its rightfully intended place on your laptops keyboard; the place thats currently occupied by the oft-unused caps lock key." (Actually as of version 1.0.7 you can remap caps lock to any modifier key.)
- Twerq since version 1.0.1
- Mirrors the key map by holding down the space bar. This is an accessibility feature I added for my mother who has a little trouble with her left hand. It makes one handed typing much easier. (Made available within uControl in version 1.0.7, was previously a separate hack.) Note: this feature has been removed due to possible patent infringement.
Enhancements:
- Updated the installer to work with Mac OS 10.3.8. Many thanks to Aaron Botsis for providing a patch that worked for some. And special thanks to Ingo Paschke whose patch seems to be working for all.

Sadly, I could find no easy way of getting the contacts from OE to Address Book. So I wrote one: OE2vCard.html. Its not perfect, but it worked well enough, and Im putting it out there for others to use."
UPDATE, 09/09/02: An easy way to import contact info from Outlook Express into Jaguars Address Book? Apple did provide an easy way, though its not easy to find unless youre looking for it. Go to Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/Helper Scripts and you will find a script called "Outlook Express".

CoolLocalizer 1.1.2 comes to you as a novel lightweight image analysis software for confocal microscopy, which targets at all scientists doing confocal microscopy in academia as well as in industry. The program performs predominantly Co-localization analysis (hence the name CoolLocalizer) but also other tasks.
It features two-click generation of image montages for publication, presentation, and documentation of image data (usually a tedious procedure in Photoshop). CoolLocalizer differs from all other applications in many ways:
- It is the first to run on Macintosh. Labs are generally mixed-platform environments, but scientists often prefer Macs.
- It is smaller and stand-alone, no need for a "mother-ship" application or extra modules
- It is much easier to learn and use.
- Interface designed by scientists doing microscopy to be as easy and "few-click" as possible.
- The price. Traditional applications are more than ten times more expensive!
Traditional software are typically installed on only one workstation per research department. Because of the pricing and its ease of use, every scientists can run their own copy of CL.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X
XPilotNG 4.7.2
XPilotNG is the mother of all 2D team based space games more>>
XPilot NG is a multiplayer spacewar game based on the mother of all computer games: XPilot - one of the highest rated games on the linux game tome.
Xpilot is a 2D game which can be played in many modes, each man for himself, team games with carry the flag mode, a racing mode, or all out warfare with complex items such as nukes, ecm, heat seeking and smart missiles, armor, tractor beams, afterburners, warping and many more. Items are collected as powerups. Mouse or keyboard can be used to control the ship. most popular currently is team based games which involved alot of quick thinking and strategy.
XPilot NG improves XPilot in several areas. The most important improvement is the support for a new polygon based map format. The new map format allows the use of arbitrary polygons to define walls and other map constructs. Old block style maps are also supported: the server converts them to polygons automatically to take advantage of the improved wall collision detection code. Legacy XPilot clients are also supported even on new polygon maps. The server can approximate wall polygons using blocks although the approximation is not always very accurate (for obvious reasons).
XPilot NG improves the XPilot code base by removing lots of old hacks and generally cleaning up things to make further improvements easier. This clean up has made it possible for the XPilot NG development team to create a new SDL/OpenGL based client that shares much of the code and functionality of the original X client. The SDL/OpenGL client is quite usable and is tested to work on Linux, Windows and MacOS X platforms. Also, last but not least, it looks quite pretty.
Enhancements:
- SDL client: Fixed some memory leaks, e.g. one for HUD messages.
- SDL client: Texture bug fixes, should fix the bug in 4.7.1 where the ship is painted as a white box on some machines.
- Server: Put back the old behaviour that dropped mines are immune to gravity. Explanation is that they are "anchored" to the map the same way as the walls are.
- Server: New option ballCollisionDetaches (default false): Does a ball get freed by a collision with a player?
- Replays: A fix so that big old recordings dont slow down to a crawl.
- Replays: Possibility to jump forward in a recording by pressing number keys: the number pressed tells how many minutes to forward.
- Several other improvements.

POPFile 1.1.1 RC1 / 1.1.0
Email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier, POP3, SMTP, NNTP proxies and IMAP filter and a web interface. more>> Email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier, POP3, SMTP, NNTP proxies and IMAP filter and a web interface.
POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier, POP3, SMTP, NNTP proxies and IMAP filter and a web interface.
POPFile classifies email into categories you define. It can sort into spam and not spam or into any number of categories you like (e.g. work, personal, important project, hobby, etc.).
The classification is done using a native Bayes algorithm. In other words, POPFile uses statistics to track which words are likely to appear in which messages. This means that POPFile will adapt to the kind of mail you receive and needs to be trained.
Out of the box, it doesnt know anything about spam or how messages from your mother differ from those your friends send you. However, if you train it, it will soon learn how to tell these different kinds of messages apart.
POPFile is a cross-platform solution that will run on most platforms and with most email clients.
Enhancements
- Includes a lot of changes, including support for SQLite 3.x, improved versions of the Windows service and system tray programs and, at last, an installer for Mac OS X.
