dnschanger removal tool 2.0
Album Shaper 2.1
Open source application for organizing, annotating, rotating, cropping, enhancing, stylizing, and sharing your digital pics more>>
Album Shaper supports open formats like XML, JPEG, and XSLT.
Enhancements:
- Album Shaper has changed radically since the last version. Importing photos is several times faster. So is rotating and flipping photos, and its now lossless (meaning image quality never degrades) too! Lots and lots of bugs have been fixed, especially after an entire month of solid testing by over 18 dedicated beta testers. Internationalization support has improved leaps and bounds, impart thanks to the new help system that comes with this release. But most importantly, the photo editing side of Album Shaper has been completely rewritten. You can now quickly crop photos to standard dimensions (e.g. 5x7), drag out selections and move them around, scale selections in place, rotate selections, even drag selection edges and corners independently, before cropping. A new tilt-correction tool has been added that is remarkably easy and accurate to use. You can touch up photos with several advanced enhancing tools (color, contrast, and very sophisticated red-eye removal), in addition to using advanced levels and grain editors. For kicks Ive even thrown in a few manipulations (black + white, sepia coloring, inversion, color embossing, and an oil painting effect).
Slider Widget 1.0
Slider Widget is a fun puzzle game where the player tries to clear combinations of colored pearls more>>
The goal of Slider is to combine 3 or more Pearls of the same color in a row or a column of the game board. The combined pearls will then be removed from the board. The pearls above the removed items will fall into the open spaces and new random pearls will fill up the board from the top. The player can make one move per turn, and the move must result in the removal of game pieces from the board. If the move does not result in the removal of pearls, the move will be automatically reversed (moves involving special pearls are an exception to this rule - see below).
To perform a move, the player uses the directional buttons around the game board. The player may move a row one place to the left or the right, and a column one spot up or down. The pearls in a row or column will then all shift one place in the direction of the button pressed. The first pearl in the direction of the move will "wrap around" to the other side of the row or column. For example, when shifting a row to the right, the right-most pearl will disappear and reappear on the left side of the row. Therefore, the "wrapped" pearl may create a combination on the side it reappears.
The player recieves points for the number of game pieces removed from the board. The more pearls are removed from the board with one turn the more points will be given per pearl (for example removing 7 pearls or more at once will yield twice the points per pearl than removing just 3). Additionally, the pearls randomly replacing the removed pearls may also form combinations and will also be removed from the board, thus creating a cascading effect. Cascades will also create additional bonus points.
AquaChat AV 1.0
AquaChat AV - Replace iChat AV brushed metal with an Aqua UI more>>
MODELLER 8v1
MODELLER - Comparative modeling of protein 3D structures more>>
MODELLER implements comparative protein structure modeling by satisfaction of spatial restraints, and can perform many additional tasks, including de novo modeling of loops in protein structures, optimization of various models of protein structure with respect to a flexibly defined objective function, multiple alignment of protein sequences and/or structures, clustering, searching of sequence databases, comparison of protein structures, etc.
Note: In order to use the program you need to register first.
Enhancements:
- Removal of limits on the number of pseudo atoms, segments, the length of file names and most other strings, and the number of parameters in parameter files.
- Removal of the read_restyp() command. To read a user-defined residue type file, set restyp_lib_file when creating an environ object.
- Bug fix: the correct VDW radii (as selected by topology.submodel) are now used for PSA calculations (previously the all-hydrogen radii were used in all cases).
- Improved error handling: almost all errors should be recoverable now (using the standard Python exception handling mechanism) and incorrect input should trigger an error rather than causing Modeller to crash (please report any crashes as bugs to the developers).
- SALIGN bug fixes, improved binning of access classes.
- Modeller scripts are now more like real Python scripts; the PYTHONPATH environment variable is honored, and additional command line arguments can be given to your scripts (accessible as sys.argv).
- Bug fix for alignment.segment_matching(): correct alignment scores are now written.
- Support for AMD64 and EM64T (Opteron/Xeon64) Linux machines.
- DOPE model assessment now returns only the DOPE energy itself by default, ignoring other energy terms.
- Bug fix for model.restraints.pick() when used with absolute position restraints; always allow 1-atom restraints to pass the residue_span_range check.

iTunes Tool 2.0.3
iTunes Tool - Tiny floating toolbar controls iTunes more>>
It offers a tiny toolbar which floats over the top of your other applications, offering a quick one-click solution.
Why not just use the iTunes Dock Menu / Control Strip Menu?
If thats good enough for you, then by all means continue to use it. iTTool isnt for everyone, and a large number of people find it to be a waste of bandwidth, but a select group love the single click option. Using the menu requires either a click and hold or a control click to bring up, and then you have to scroll up and select the option you want. iTTool simplifies that to just one click.
iTunes shrinks down to a pretty small window on its own already
Thats true, but that window doesnt float over other windows, and isnt nearly as small as iTTools toolbar pallet. Even at its largest expanded form, iTTool is only a 112x40 pixel window, compaired to the 130x50 window that iTunes has for its minimum. iTTools pallet can even be shrunken down to a measily 30x15 pixel window. Thats an extreemly small space on your desktop.
Enhancements:
- Ratings menu button allows quick changing of the current songs rating. This requires iTunes 3, and is disabled for OS9.
- Added an about window to the main menu.
NDNoise 0.4
NDNoise - Remove noise in digital images more>>
Main features:
- load / save multiple image with the same filter tuning
- multiple image format support : PNG, JPEG, GIF, ... (prefer lossless PNG compression !)
- 3 sliders tuning for basic use : noise removal, dots/spots/lines smoothing, retexturing
- direct visualisation of filtering effect by alternate visualisation
- zoom in/out at any level.
Enhancements:
- Post sharpening
- Partial evaluation for fast preview.
Fuhgeddaboutit 1.0.1
Fuhgeddaboutit comes as an effective compilation and reengineering of AppleScripts found on the internet and through Application supplied scripts with an aim to get an iCal To Do created from one or more messages in Mail.app. more>>
Fuhgeddaboutit 1.0.1 comes as an effective compilation and reengineering of AppleScripts found on the internet and through Application supplied scripts with an aim to get an iCal To Do created from one or more messages in Mail.app.
Script location: For full functionality, the script should be placed in your /Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts/Scripts Menu/ directory. or here Please quit and restart Mail.app after script is copied into Scripts Menu directory.
Basic Rundown of the script: An email is selected in Mail.app, the key command for Fuhgeddaboutit___ctl-2.scpt (Control+2) activates the script and opens iCal if not already open. The user is then presented with one of the available (writable) calendars to write the To Do to, or one can create a new Calendar for their action items. The due date is then set as a number of hours from the received time of the email. The user will then input some summary text, which follows the email subject. The To Do priority is then set. Then the To Do gets added and the senders email address appears in the url field for reference.
Removal of the "___ctl-2" from Fuhgeddaboutit___ctl-2.scpt will disable the Key Command. Likewise, renaming the ___ctl-2 to a different key command will change it's activating key command -- Key Command only works while Mail.app is the active application.
--- Unfortunately, the snippets of code I have don't include the original authors (poor commenting). If you believe this script infringes on your own original script, please contact the author immediately with code sample so that it can be cross checked.
Majority of code obtained from Apple Computer example scripts, Mail.app and iCal dictionaries, and two days of trial and error.
Requirements:
- Full functionality in Panther 10.3.8+ Tiger requires the use of other software (FastScripts) to enable key command script call.

Text Trix
Text Trix is a one-stop tool chest of text tools more>>
Whether youre toolin or foolin, were here to make your day.
Armed with more and more features in the "text tool chest" and its growing base of plug-ins, or "trix and tools," we hope youll find Text Trix increasingly useful in managing large amounts of text in no time. Lets get installin!
Enhancements:
- Our v.0.5.1 release of Text Trix is the first bug-cruncher in our new FRIENDS (Family of Really Innovative ENDS) series. Our goal in this series is to get serious about making friends of Text Trix. Were seeking to create a family of plugins that will be a one-stop resource, and "end" to your search for text tools that make your typing easier. Or an "end*s*," cuz with Text Trix, the family keeps growing, and the trix never end!
- Of course, to build a family, we need a solid home to house it. This release focuses on crunching a few bugs in Text Trix itself as well as a couple of its plugins. Notable behind-the-scenes fixes include removal of a couple start-up errors you reported on some platforms. The new Song Sheet plugin also has a few tweaks to work with a wider variety of text formatting.
- Every house needs an exterminator...but soon well need a decorator! Weve blasted a few bugs here, and now were looking for new decor. If you have ideas for a plugin or would like to write your own, please dont hesitate to post one. We look forward to your joining the family!

AbsoluteDeNoiser 1.2d
AbsoluteDeNoiser - Noise reduction filter for digital images more>>
AbsoluteDeNoiser is Java-based software that should run on almost every machines.
Digital cameras or scanners often produce images that contains noise, especially when using high ISO. This noise is made of random pixel variations that damage the picture in different manner, adding unwanted granular effects. To obtain a good result, this noise should be removed paying a great attention to :
- Image details that often can be removed with noise, and edges definition that are often blured by basic noise reduction technics.
- Keeping some granularity to avoid the common "plastic" effect of too much noise removal.
AbsoluteDeNoiser (Free version) works in 3 steps :
- Edges detection : this analyse makes a separation between large surfaces with poor details, and places where some edges and/or details require a special attention. The value to tune enables to decide the sensitivity of the edges detection, thus the amount of the picture that is to be considered as details/edges or not. Surfaces and edges will then be processed in different ways in next steps.
- Surfacing : performs a calculation of local color cohesion to decide, for each pixel, what is the mean color value in the noise variations arround it, without merging two different surfaces together. This step also processes surfaces and edges in two different ways. The more important is the value that tunes the surface managment : it is the one that decides of the effective noise reduction. There is also a secondary value that tunes the edges managment, but it should often be kept at a low value to avoid bluring edges : in some cases it offers the possibility to reduce some edges pixelisation effects.
- Texturing : the step 2 may provide with "too" clean surfaces where some small details or textures could have been lost, and possibly a "plastic" effect. This final filter decides the amount of original pixels that should be added back to the clean surface to restore details and textures without re-introducing the noise that should be removed. A first value tunes how much part of pixels that was removed in step 2 shows a local regularity, thus how much noise vs details is to be considered on them. There is also a secondary value that tunes how much pure granularity, without special regularity, should be added back without re-introducing bad strong spots and scratches.
Enhancements:
- New installation using a zipped bundle to fix a memory configuration trouble.
