ToastVideoRemote 1.0.1
Toast Video Remote is designed to fix a bug in the previous release of this useful product. more>>
Toast Video Remote 1.0.1 is designed to fix a bug in the previous release of this useful product.
The problem: The "Toast Video Player 1.0" app included with Roxio's Toast Titanium 8 has a bug in it which prevents the jump forward/jump backward and fast forward/rewind features from working properly. See the Roxio forums for a discussion of this problem.
The solution: A small AppleScript Studio (XCode) app that uses Apple's GUI Scripting (Enable Access for Assistive Devices in the Universal Access preference pane in System Preferences must be checked for this app to work) and Extra Suites 1.1 to precisely click on the progress bar in the Toast Video Player remote control, which is the only reliable way to advance or reverse through a video in that app.
There are some limitations to this solution:
- This solution only solves the jump forward/jump backward problem--I don't see a way to solve the fast forward/rewind problem.
- Since the progress bar is only about 90 pixels long, this solution can only jump forward or backward about 1/90th of the video's length at a time.
Requirements:
- Toast Video Player 1.0 or 1.0.2
- Part of Roxio Toast 8 Titanium Extra Suites 1.1

Visual Hebrew Enabler for Safari 1.0.3 is an innovative and versatile Apple's new Web browser which has great Hebrew support when it comes to site using so-called "logical" Hebrew (which is the standard), but sites using "visual" Hebrew are displayed backwards.

The Visual Hebrew Enabler for Safari addresses these two issues in the form of a patched version of the WebCore framework, that once installed into your copy of Safari enables visual Hebrew support and prevents many of the aforementioned crashes.

iShred 1.1
iShred provides an interface to the SRM or secure delete function more>>
iShred is a front end to the Unix "srm" command. As far as what it does, the man page for "srm" sums it up best...
srm removes each specified file by overwriting, renaming, and truncating it before unlinking. This prevents other people from undeleting or recovering any information about the file from the command line.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. FILES DELETED WITH THIS PROGRAM ARE NOT RECOVERABLE, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
Enhancements:
- added option to skip warning panel on launch
- added option to use the 35 pass Gutmann method
- remember previous settings
- now uses brushed metal texture (I think it looks cooler).

Web Ping 1.0
Web Ping - Track your connection to a specific site more>>
Insted of doing an actual network ping, Web Ping tests a connection by downloading a web page on a given server. The size of the page and time are stored in memory and the times are graphed. In this way, sites that block network a ping can still be tracked.
Web Ping also keeps track of the largest and smallest download times per session and also tracks the max and min values currently on the graph. Times of interest are graphed in a color which represents if it is a max or a min. (see figure one). The history tab also lists all the max values as they have been recevied. A running average is also calculated with each download. The files downloaded are not processed or stored in any way. This prevents any security problems that can normaly happen in a web browser enviroment. The only two pecies of information retained about a downloaded file is the size and time.
NoDesktopCleanup 1.5
NoDesktopCleanup - Control panel that lets you add a confirmation dialog or a KeyQuencer Macro to any menu item more>>
The unusual name comes from the original task I wrote this control panel for: disabling the annoying Clean Up Desktop and Clean Up All menu items in the Finder, which often make ones life miserable by moving all the icons on the desktop away from their carefully chosen locations.
You can run KeyQuencer Macros whenever a menu item is selected, either as an addition to the original command or as a custom replacement.
NoDesktopCleanup also provides a useful auto-confirm timer which prevents your Mac from hanging forever when its working alone and theres no user to press the OK or Cancel buttons.

Ferazels Wand X Launcher for OSX 1.0.1

This bothered me somewhat, so the "Ferazels Wand X Launcher" application (aka. "FW X Launcher") was born.
It changes the resolution to 640x480x8 (256 colors) and then it proceeds to launch Ferazels Wand. That way it prevents the Ferazels Wand application from having to change the resolution first, and thus no resizing/rearranging of windows takes place.
Additionally, FW X Launcher also appears to have the nice side effect of hiding the dock, so there are no more ugly dock remnants to be seen while Ferazel is loading.
MacOS X 10.0 or later, Ferazels Wand 1.0 or later.
