MUSCLE 4.61
Client-server messaging system for dynamic distributed applications more>> Client-server messaging system for dynamic distributed applications
MUSCLE is a cross-platform, robust, somewhat scalable client-server messaging system for dynamic distributed applications that runs under any POSIX-compliant operating system.
MUSCLE has been developed, used, and refined as the networking component of BeShare, CueConsole, CueStation, and various other audio control applications at Level Control Systems (now Meyer Sound Laboratories) for over six years.
Main features:
- Use BMessage-like muscle:Messages under any operating system.
- Send flattened muscle:Messages from one computer to another over TCP streams, eliminating unnecessary compatibility and protocol-versioning hassles.
- Run a muscled server on a central machine, and write (or download) client programs to log in to the server and communicate through it. Once logged in, client programs can discover who else is logged in, send muscle:Messages to other clients, and store muscle:Messages in the servers RAM for other clients to download later. Clients can also subscribe to selected data on the server, and be automatically notified whenever it changes. Unicast-style, multicast-style, and broadcast-style Message routing are all supported via an intelligent hierarchical pattern-matching routing mechanism. Writing multiplayer games, IRC style chat applications, SETI style distributed calculation apps, or any other type of distributed software is made easy because MUSCLE handles all the dirty work for you!
- Customize the included muscled server by defining your own session logic or message-streaming protocol. (Note that this is only necessary for certain specialized applications--the standard server provides sufficient functionality for most things)
- Write your client code in C , C, Java, Delphi, or Python. Single-threaded and multi-threaded messaging APIs are provided for all of the aforementioned languages.
- Or just use the included message, string, dataIO, hashtable, dequeue, string-tokenizer, reference-count, regular expression and pattern matching parser, and object-pool code by themselves, as handy cross-platform utility classes. All source code is included, and you are free to use and abuse it any way you wish.
Enhancements
- Added GetTotalNumSignalsReceived() and
- GetNumSignalsReceivedOfType() methods to the
- SignalMultiplexer class.
- Added an IsCurrentThreadMainThread() function to
- SetupSystem.{cpp,h}.
- Added support for a "catchsignals" keyword to
- HandleStandardDaemonArgs(). This keyword, if
- specified, will cause the main threads
- ReflectSession() (if any) to add a signal handler
- session to itself.
- Added support for a MUSCLE_AVOID_SIGNAL_HANDLING compiler
- flag that can be defined by applications that dont
- want to compile in signal handling support.
- Added a SignalChildProcess() method to the
- ChildProcessDataIO class.
- ChildProcessDataIO:WaitForChildProcessToExit()
- now takes an optional timeout value, and returns
- true if the child exited or false if it timed out.
- In the ChildProcessDataIO class, I replaced
- SetKillChildOnClose() and SetWaitForChildOnClose() with
- a single SetChildProcessShutdownBehavior() method which
- provides for more flexibility, making it possible to
- do a "soft shutdown with a hard kill after a timeout".
- Removed the "catchsignals" support from muscledMain()s
- setup code, since that support is now part of
- HandleStandardDaemonArgs() instead.

Labeled folders now should appear in the labels color. If you like what you see you can make it permanent and:
Add Hey Folders! to your Startup Items
Start System Preferences and open Accounts preferences. Select the Startup Items tab and add Hey Folders! as the very first item of the list. From now on, Hey Folders! is automatically started each time you log in.

Adobe Disable VM Buffering plug-in 1.0
Adobe Disable VM Buffering plug-in - Eliminate pauses in Photoshop more>>
On a computer with more than 4GB of RAM, Photoshop tells the operating system to use the extra RAM as a buffer for the Photoshop scratch file. In this case, when document data no longer fits in the 3.5GB of Photoshop RAM and is written to the scratch file, the operating system stores it in the extra RAM and can retrieve it from there much faster than it could be read from disk.
The Adobe Disable VM Buffering plug-in lets Photoshop take advantage of more than 4GB of RAM to significantly increase performance with very large documents.
When this scratch file buffering is turned on with Mac OS X v.10.3 or 10.4, the operating system periodically pauses execution of Photoshop for up to several seconds at a time. This can cause problems when painting. Installing the plug-in causes Photoshop to disable the buffering so the pauses do not occur. It also means that Photoshop only takes advantage of the 3.5GB of RAM it can directly access, so performance with very large documents will decrease.
For this reason, we recommend that if you use very large documents and have no problems with pauses during painting, you should not install this plug-in.
Correct sound balance 1.0
Correct sound balance - Fixes sound balance bug in OS X more>>
I often spent hours wondering what was wrong with my speakers as one always sounded louder than the other... heres the fix.
An example is when Im listening to a tune and enjoy a part of the song so crank up the volume quickly using the keyboard and then the tune becomes boring so I turn it down quickly using the keyboard. Others disagree but often when I do this the sound balance changes randomly.

BMI Calculator 1.0
BMI Calculator is created as an easily calculated index of body fat for adults that uses only height and weight. more>>
BMI Calculator 1.0 is created as an easily calculated index of body fat for adults that uses only height and weight. The formula used in this Calculator is (Weight in Pounds / Height in Inches squared) x 703.
The definitional formula is Weight in Kilograms / Height in Meters squared. Because the BMI uses only height and weight, it does not take into account the distribution of muscle and bone mass. Thus, it may be incorrect for athletes or the elderly who generally exhibit unusual distributions of muscle and bone mass.
The BMI should be considered in the context of other variables and used with caution, following consultation with a physician.
BrowserWars X 1.2.4
BrowserWars picks up where Apple left off in providing an easy way to change your default web applications. Unfortunately, Apples version favors a very few (ahem) select applications more>> BrowserWars picks up where Apple left off in providing an easy way to change your default web applications. Unfortunately, Apples version favors a very few (ahem) select applications. Installing a new version of your preferred non-listed software often causes OS X to loose track of your settings, defaulting back to Internet Explorer or Mail.app. There is also a notable lack of OS X newsreader applications listed. BrowserWars fixes this by adding every web, mail and news application that we could think of. Upgrading or reinstalling your favorite programs now will no longer revert your settings to what Apple thinks is best.
Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
Version 1.2.4 adds the following:
- Fixed bundle identifier for Chimera, again.
- Improved Readme.
