Speech and Debate Timekeeper 2.0.2
Speech and Debate Timekeeper is a collection of two multi-platform timers for all speech and debate events! more>>
One is a debate timer with speech order and time limits preprogrammed for Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Parliamentary, Public Forum, and miscellaneous debate formats. It also tracks prep time for both sides. The other timer was created for individual events. All time limits are user adjustable.
These timers give visual and/or vocal time signals at user defined intervals so that you will never have to give manual time signals or frequently look at the time. At the end of each speech, cross-examination, or preparation, the timer automatically sets itself to time the next thing that needs timing at the push of a button.
No stopwatch or general purpose timer comes this close to fulfilling the role of a dedicated human timekeeper in a debate round.
Main features:
- Simple stopwatch style interface simultaneously shows time elapsed and remaining. Buttons are large so that they can be finger pressed on PDAs.
- Visual time signals on a color coded background indicating minutes or seconds remaining.
- Spoken time signals or tones, including protected minute alerts for points of information in constructive speeches of Parliamentary debates.
- Tracks speech order and prep times. Default time limits are set according to the selected event and are adjustable.
- The name of the speech or task being timed is displayed in the title of the window.
- Navigational buttons set the timer to time the previous or next task.
- High contrast display setting with black text on a white background.
- Context sensitive help screens are available from drop down menus.
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.

Jesusonic 0.99
Jesusonic is a program used to generate effects for guitar, bass, vocal and general use more>>
Once you have a group of effects set up how you desire, you can save that group to a "preset", which can be recalled instantly at any time. Presets can store as much state as you like, so if you record a loop of a riff you like, you can save it and every time you load that preset it will play.
When you feel like you have exhausted combining the many included effects, and want to come up with something completely ridiculously new and never-done-before, you can make use of your keyboard, and write new effects (or take an existing effect and customize it).
Using the integrated code editor, you can actually write simple code that will be compiled into fast machine code on the fly, letting you quickly try out effect ideas and push the realm of possiblity even farther. You can do all of this-without having to stop for any reason. While you edit the code, the effects still run. When you want to try your code out, hit one key and within a small fraction of a second you are hearing results.
- G4 processor, Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
The Widgetizer
The Widgetizer - An Automator Workflow that is able to convert selected folders into a widget package. more>> Side-chaining compressors are amazingly useful effects. They are standard issue tools for vocal ducking in radio production, to fade out music when a narrator is speaking. They are also insanely popular in dance production, able to make your whole mix "pump" or "breathe" by following a kick drum.
Unfortunately, side-chaining in software can be tricky. Some audio programs simply do not support it, others require pretty complex routing techniques.
The good news is that Sidechain Compressor is easy to use, and works in almost any audio software package - even those that do not directly support side-chaining***. It only takes a few mouse clicks and youre up and running!
Features:
* all-new compression algorithm with great vintage sound
* easy multi track side-chaining based on db audiowares Universal Sidechains
* one-to-one-track or one-to-many-tracks side-chaining
* elegant user interface with clear visual feedback
* precision control over the compression response (EQ & Shape)
* gain control for manual gain make-up or fine adjustment of output level
* auto-gain with integrated limiter
* full MIDI control, with easy to use MIDI Learn<<less
