CheckMate 1.0 Beta3
Generate and compare secure MD5 checksums of critical files more>>
Checkmate is a preference pane for MacOS X 10.1 or higher that allows you to generate and compare secure MD5 checksums of critical files. This can be used to detect whether these files have been altered by viruses, root kits, trojan horses, or other possibly malicious programs.
NOTE: The choice of files that are checked by default was derived by examining a number of other file system checksumming (or tripwire-type) systems on other UNIX-like platforms. If you believe that there are other OSX-specific files that should get checked for malicious alteration, please send me your suggestions for possible inclusion.
Major Features:
- Checksum validation can be run manually from inside the preference pane, and/or scheduled to run hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or each time you restart.
- If the validation process finds any files whose checksums don't match the values stored, several notification options can be triggered, including a popup dialog and email.
- In addition to the default list of files that are included for validation, you can easily add and remove additional files that you wish to validate.
- You can also export the list of file checksums to a file to be stored somewhere other than the computer it was made on (such as on your iDisk).
- You can then later load this externally-stored file back into the preferences panel to verify that the checksum

Think 1.1
Think - Lets rediscover how to focus, and get back to thinking more>>
Focusing takes concentration, and concentration takes energy. You can only concentrate on so much at a time, and you cant create more energy. What we need to do is change how we work.
Lets limit our attention to one application--any application--at any time. Lets make it easy to change focus when we have to. Lets allow ourselves to bring other apps up quickly if we need them, but put them out of sight again just as quickly.
Lets rediscover how to focus, and get back to thinking.
1. Illumination Panel - This might look a little familiar to you. When you launch Think, the illumination panel will appear, allowing you to choose an application on which to focus--as we call it, "illuminating" it. If you quit the illuminated application, the illumination panel will reappear, where you can choose another app or quit Think.
2. Backdrop - his is what shields you from the distraction of the outside world. The Desktop and other applications are kept behind it to keep you focused on the illuminated app. You can temporarily bring a "guest" application above the backdrop by clicking on another app in the Dock. Clicking into the backdrop will refocus you on the illuminated application, returning the guest to exile.
3. Control Panel - Thinks control panel floats above other applications, and as such, is always available to you.
4. Think in the Dock - Thinks Dock icon serves two purposes. First and foremost, its a convenient way to raise Think and show the illumination panel. Clicking on Think in the Dock is the same as clicking the raise button in Thinks control panel. Secondly, Thinks icon displays some useful information to you. Notice that when theres an application illuminated, its icon is displayed inside Thinks icon. Because clicking in the backdrop refocuses the illuminated application, it helps to know which app is currently illuminated. You can glance at the Dock if you ever need to know - Think will keep its Dock icon updated to help you remember! Not that youd ever forget, of course.
