But most of us are quite fussy, and the older you get and the longer you maintain your blog, the more fastidious you get. If I learn about another nice tool, i will share it here as well.If you blog infrequently and post largely text content, spending money on an app like MarsEdit may not appear wise. ![]() I know this is not a very extensive list, but for now these are the tools that do not come standard with mac osx 10.5. It is not free, but 30 euro is not very expensive for a tools like this. Easy way of selecting filters to introduce effects. Seems to be running very well.ĭrawit – Looking for an easy drawing program to create these nice log’s or other drawings with very nice lightning effects. Tunnelblick – Very nice utility when you are using openvpn to connect to a remote server. Remote Desktop Connection – Sometimes you just need to connect to a remote windows machine or server. So using alt-tab and showing microsoft vision, or windows explorer, or even the command prompt. This way you can run windows applications like they are running native on the mac. ![]() MacFusion – using linux, windows, etc on your mac? Then MacFusion is what you want. It enables software updates for (all) your applications, it is kinda new, but it works reasonably well. So even without your mac you can still check your agenda.ĪppFresh – The mac includes an update utility, but it does not work for all software packages you use. Most of all it integrates with you mac address book and calendar. Plaxo – Software to manage your contacts, integrates with hyves, linkedin, etc. This marsedit is a nice tool, not to complicates, and not very expensive (30 $). Acutually that is why I moved from serendipity to wordpress for blogging. One thing I did like was the integration of special tools to write blog items. Not really a problem, but also not a real good experience. Marsedit – Up till now I was writing my blog items using my blogging software. This is is very cheap, it does not need to cost you anything. Exacty what you need when doing ftp or sftp, nothing more, nothing less. This software is free to use.Ĭyberduck – A very nice ftp client. Check the following page if you want to try adium with hyves. Hyves uses a jabber server as well to see who is online. In the netherlands a lot of people are on hyves. So a job well done.Īdium – A replacement for msn and all other chat clients like yahoo and jabber. I got lots of very nice responses to the new newsletter format. I wrote our corporate newsletter with it, export to pdf, no extra tools, all the links were really working. I just love pages, never did I have so much fun creating documents. This way you can run your windows applications but are not limited to the virtual machine window. ![]() I bought iWorks, oke and I admit I also bought vmware fusion, for those times I really need windows. When I was in the store I decided to completely loose microsoft. If you think I am using the wrong tool (I and did not pay for it :-)) please let me know. I’ll try to give as much details as possible. Some of these tools will cost money, others are free. This post is about the tools I started using since I have my macbook. Why this long intro? I do not know, just wanted to mention this great new product of apple. ![]() Yes it looks great, but it is to small for me. The last months I was showing my macbook pro to colleagues and these same persons were kind of laughing and telling me about this new laptop. These days everybody is speaking about the new MacBook air.
