Manuscript 1.6
Manuscript is considered as a useful word processor that helps authors write manuscripts for their work. more>>
Manuscript 1.6 is considered as a useful word processor that helps authors write manuscripts for their work.
Manuscript attempts to augment the traditional author's tools with the advantages of word-processing. You write in plain text, just as you would on a piece of paper. You write a note in the margin if that's the best place. You write miscellaneous notes as separate items but in the notes drawer you can organise them by category and sub-category and they are always there when you need them. When you are ready to format the work and print a hard-copy you do so on a copy in a separate window; you don't alter your original.
Major Features:
- Large font, plain text main writing window
- Choice of manuscript or chapters view
- Search and replace
- Highlighting
- Auto word count and published page equivalent
- Auto-scrolling margin for text specific notes
- Categorizable notes draw
- Continuous auto-saving of all three text areas
- Separate formatting window to prepare text for printing with auto page breaks for chapters
Enhancements:
- Version 1.6 is a universal binary that runs on Leopard. No new functionality has been added. Tested using Leopard and Tiger on a ppc but not tested on intel.
- TrackDesigner is available at Versiontracker. MacUpdate are not authorised to include it.
- Known bug: main writing window loads text at 12 point regardless of saved setting
- OSX 10.3 or above, ppc or intel
Charles 2.4
Charles - Web debugging proxi more>>
Charles can act as a man-in-the-middle for HTTP/SSL communication, enabling you to debug the content of your HTTPS sessions.
Charles simulates modem speeds by effectively throttling your bandwidth and introducing latency, so that you can experience an entire website as a modem user might (bandwidth simulator).
Charles is especially useful for Macromedia Flash developers as you can view the contents of LoadVariables, LoadMovie and XML loads. More about Charles and Flash.
Charles is also useful for XML development in web browsers, such as AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) and XMLHTTP, as it enables you to see the actual XML that is flowing between the client and the server.
Main features:
- Cookies are shown in the HTTP headers, so you can see exactly what cookies you are sending and receiving.
- Every request and response is recorded in Charles. Redirects that are often too quick to see when testing with a web browser can be seen in Charles. Requests from applications other than your web browser (such as Flash movies) can also be seen.
- Request and response sizes are shown in Charles, so you can see how big each request was.
- Assets loaded from an HTML page are recorded so that you can see how many images etc are loaded by a page, and where from.
- All files can be viewed, including JavaScript files, CSS files, HTML files etc.
- Mirror all responses to disk, recording your session.
- Blacklist sites so that requests are blocked.
- See the results of caching by seeing cached responses (304 Not Modified), and requests containing last modified dates (IfModifiedSince).
- Disable caching by removing cache related headers from requests and responses as they pass through Charles, ensuring that you are always requesting the latest file.
- See whether a cache has served your request by looking for cache-hit HTTP headers.
- View encrypted HTTPS traffic in plain text. Enables you to view requests and responses in plain text even when communicating with an SSL secured web server.
- Reveal unexpected requests, such as typos and 404s.
- View requested images.
- Bandwidth Throttle your web connection to a specified bytes/second speed, and millisecond latency. This enables you to simulate modem conditions on a high speed internet connection (bandwidth simulator)
- Spoof DNS name to ip mappings so that you can test a domain name before it has gone live. Very useful for testing your virtual hosting.
- Export to CSV all of the summary data captured by Charles for analysis and reporting in Excel
- Reverse proxy creates ports on the localhost that act as regular HTTP servers, but forward all requests to a specified web server.
- HTTP 1.1 support - including keep-alive, chunking and content-encodings including gzip, compress and deflate.
- External proxy support - configure an proxy for Charles to use to access the Internet
- NTLM authentication support (Windows NT Challenge Response Authentication / Integrated Windows Authentication)
- Automatic configuration of Windows Internet Proxy settings.
- Search all headers and bodies for keywords.
- Port forwarding support, allows any protocol to be forwarded by Charles and debugged.
- Unicode and other charset encoding/decoding support.
- AJAX debugging (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) and XMLHTTP debugging
- AMF parsing to help debug Flash Remoting
- Firefox proxy autoconfiguration
- Automatic Update Checking.
Version restrictions:
- 30 days evaluation.
Enhancements:

InTouch 2.5.3
InTouch - free-form information manager more>>
Most people use InTouch as a contact manager and use the first field for names and addresses and the second field for phone numbers and notes.
The second field can hold up to 14 pages of notes that can be time and date stamped to allow you to track conversations, projects or other notations.
InTouch is an Address Book...
InTouch is a free-form information manager. Instead of separate fields for each piece of information, InTouch uses just two data entry fields. Most people use InTouch as a contact manager and use the first field for names and addresses and the second field for phone numbers and notes. The second field can hold up to 14 pages of notes that can be time and date stamped to allow you to track conversations, projects or other notations.
InTouch is Free-form...
InTouch offers a refreshing alternative to predefined structured personal information managers or "design your own" databases for keeping information organized with your Macintosh. Sophisticated, but simple to use, InTouch offers a very straight forward way to put information to use.
Free-form is better...
The big advantage to free-form is that you can enter data very rapidly, and InTouch gladly takes whatever information you type. You dont have to worry about how long an address is or how many lines it takes. Foreign addresses present no problem for InTouch. You simply use as many lines as you need, in the order that makes sense to you.
A bigger advantage to free-form is the ability to enter any kind of information. Whether its recipes, URLs, e-mail messages or miscellaneous notes, InTouch handles them all! Locating information in InTouch is fast and easy since every word is a Key Word.
