Local file sharing made easy on OSX

Friday, April 9th, 2010

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.

Multiple versions of Safari

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

http://michelf.com/projects/multi-safari/ is the site where you can download all the old versions of Safari. You can have the newest version of Safari installed on OSX and these Safari apps won’t interfere or over-write the new version. They’re stand-alone applications, so the packages contain all the libraries needed to run the old versions. A must have for testing.

Coda, Panic’s programming program

Friday, May 15th, 2009

After a lot of back and forth, with new coding apps I’ve started and stuck with Coda. It’s not perfect by any means, but it is solid, easy to use, simple and the people at Panic are helpful.

I guess I’m just not an Emacs with GIT kinda guy… ;)
