Local file sharing made easy on OSX

DropCopy is a insanely easy way to share files over your local network. Thanks to bonjour and it’s simple configuration, it is the perfect program for quickly sending files to other users on your local network.

There is a iPhone version too, Mobile DropCopy. There is a lite version, and the full version (which is $4.99).

If you’re in a Apple-centric LAN it’s perfect. Unfortunately there are only OSX and iPhone versions.

HTML 5 and Push technology

The ability for a user to be on a site and have the web server cause an action to occur on the site, via ‘push technology‘, is soon to be realized at the HTML 5 leve. Although this type of interaction has always been available; through Flash, Java and Javascript. It’s finally being brought-up to the HTML level as noted in W3C documentation. The Stray Orange blog has a good post relating to HTML 5 push technology.

TeamViewer – VNC made easy and fast for free

nick — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:29:30 +0000

TeamViewer teamviewer.com is a free VNC program ( control a remote machine from your machine), that is very easy to set-up and use.
Highlights are:

Free for public use
Cross-platform friendly (OSX and Windows, no Linux though)
Breaks through firewalls
Uses an uber-strong backbone connection, so less lag than a VNC that uses public networks

Specials shout to JMSTP for introducing me to it.

Zipping prevents email attachment corruption

nick — Sat, 29 Jul 2006 19:30:08 +0000

When you’re sending an email with an attachment, do you zip the attachment?
Have you ever sent a document to someone only to find out that the document the recieved, won’t open, or doesn’t look right?

Email itself is very prone to having it’s attachments corrupted. By zipping a document, not only do you shrink the size of the document to be sent, but you are also encasing it in a way that prevents tampering with the data itself.

By shrinking the size of the document you are lessing the chance of corruption by sheer ratio.

Kismet for Mac OS X (KisMAC)

nick — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 22:35:20 +0000

Kismet is a tool for wireless sniffing (just viewing what’s already passing through the air). And KisMAC is the OSX version. Best part about KisMAC is the Apple Airport Extreme card drivers for both Active and Passive support. Active, meaning you can see but can’t collect, and passive meaning you can see and collect.
So if your on OSX and you want to see the wireless in your area and collectively watch what’s be sent around, getting KisMAC is a good starting place.
