Recently I’ve given Glims a try. Even though it tries to combine what Inquisitor and Saft both do into one single free application, I was very disappointed in the ease of use and look.
Before trying Glims, I had to uninstall (remove) Inquisitor that was already running on my version of Webkit and Safari. To do [...]
Quick tip for everyone who is using Mac OS X, Unix, or anything with bash. If you want to mass rename a bunch of files, there isn’t a simple way of doing it. Either you would have to do it manually1 or you could use this simple line of code.

I have always used Webkit ever since switching to Safari as my general browser. Being that I’m always getting the newest build, I know what’s coming when Safari decides to upgrade.
Since Apple updated Safari from 3.1 to 3.1.1, Saft, a wonderful “addon/plugin/what-have-you”, breaks. I know Hao Li at haoli.dnsalias.com will be updating it pretty soon, [...]
Being that not all locations allow all ports to be accessed through their gateway to the internet, sometimes you will run into problems in connecting to your IM programs such as iChat or, even better, Adium.1

Now, one of my favorite Safari hacks has been Pith Helmet and with the new update, [...]
A few friends of mine have recently switched over to Mac. I have been using my Macbook for some time now and have grown accustom to some applications. This will be a two part article. The following will be free applications. Part II will be paid applications. I suggest you giving them a try before [...]
It’s been a long while since I’ve sat down and played a video game, especially on my macbook. Today I ran into a simple, yet very thought-provoking game, Passage. Albeit, the game can be played on Windows, Linux, and Mac. As you can see in the screenshot above, it’s a 8-bit type game with [...]
I love installing, previewing, reviewing, alpha-, beta-, gamma- testing applications. This includes applications that might not work, might cause problems for me later on, or just plain suck. I have run into many of these programs/applications before. The last problem I want to deal with is not being able to fully remove it.
The latest of [...]
I recently upgrades to Leopard and the operating system has been great. After installing my core set of programs, I noticed that mDNSResponder was going nuts. Being that I am on an university network, there are hundreds on the current sub-network. By default, Leopard has a “feature” that lists all the local computers (windows or [...]
