rapidflickr 1.23
rapidflickr - Generate photo albums & slideshows off your flickr account more>>
Rapidflickr takes the photos you already have in Flickr (you are using Flickr arent you? If not you should be) and within seconds can turn them into a variety of beautiful web galleries or slide shows.
There are a wide variety of ways to organize your photos. The most powerful (and best in my opinion) is to use tags. You can specify a list of tags such as jellyfish monterey and it will show you all pictures of jellyfish or monterey.
Once you have a gallery configured you have many options for creative control. The free version gives you a view that works with all of the built in themes nicely and lets you control if titles are shown or not.

CD Stack 1.1.1
CD Stack is an advanced CD ripping and encoding application with iTunes integration, using the LAME (L.A.M.E) Encoder more>>
You add cover art when you rip, control with finer detail how you want your MP3s encoded, and use the best encoder out there, the L.A.M.E. encoding engine.
Rip...Rip...Rip...
When you rip with CD Stack, the CD-ROM drive will rip as fast as it can, and MP3 encoding happens as fast as it can. The encoding speed, however, will not affect how fast you can get through your discs.
If you have a fast or upgraded CD/DVD-ROM drive, you will be able to rip your CDs a lot faster, leaving the computer to finish encoding your MP3s as fast as it can. This means less time babysitting the computer while it simultaneously rips and encodes.
Integrates with iTunes. Or Not.
CD Stack will automatically import songs that you ripped into iTunes, complete with artist and track information and cover art. You also have the option of not importing into iTunes, if you would rather use a different program to play back your MP3s. CD Stack allows you to organize the MP3 files by different criteria so that you can organize your files out exactly as you like.
L.A.M.E. MP3 Compression.
Its definitely NOT lame... But it is, (in our opinion) the best MP3 encoder out there. Your files will sound better, and you will have more control over bitrate and quality than you would with other software. Also, unlike other software that uses L.A.M.E. for the Mac, CD Stack does not require you to use iTunes. It completely stands alone.
Version restrictions:
- Every 15 minutes, a screen will pop up reminding you to register if you find CD Stack useful.
SeeGEDCOMX 0.8b1
Display lists of people in GEDCOM documents. more>>
The input database is read pretty quickly; 500 kilobytes is interpreted in a second or two on the slowest PowerMac. When a GEDCOM file is opened SeeGEDCOMX displays a window containing a listing of the all the individuals in the file. This is called a Group view and looks a lot like a List View in the MacOS Finder.
There are folder icons for each surname, with drop triangles that you use to display more information. This is the starting point for browsing through the entire database.
Its as easy as navigating in the Finder itself, or using a Web browser.SeeGEDCOMX has unusual and (in my opinion!) rather nice ways of extracting parts of a GEDCOM database whether as new GEDCOM files, reports for use with a word processor (RTF), or as plain text.

Avernum 3 1.1.4
Avernum 3 - Dynamic RPG world game more>>
There is a fascinating story and a dynamic world which changes according to the actions of the player. Refugees move from town to town. People die. If nothing is done, towns will crumble into dust.
Avernum was a prison, an enormous warren of tunnels and caverns, far below the surface world. The surface is ruled by the Empire, the all-powerful masters of the known world. Misfits, petty criminals, and those with the wrong opinions were sent into Avernum for the rest of their lives. At least, thats what happened once.
Then the Avernites assassinated the leader of the Empire and spent years in a brutal war with the surface tyrants. The Avernite rebels won. Now, at last, they are beginning their campaign to leave their caves and return to the surface.
You are the scouts. You will be the first envoys to the surface. Instead of the sunlit paradise you dreamed of, you will find a world ravaged by mysterious plagues and hordes of bizarre monsters. Soon, the Empire will ask you to help solve the problem. Your enemies will become your allies as you race to find the source of the destruction.
Avernum 3 is a massive and open-ended game.
