Currently I am hoping my 5 year old son will turn out to be a great [web] designer; at least then this site may get finished, in exchange for some pocket money.

Looking for the Bus full of Hippies template?

OS X Goodies for January

Some OS X apps I have been using for a little while without problems:

Chicken VNC

Open up any other computer right on your desktop, very handy and works an absolute dream between two Macs.

Desktop curtain

Need a screen shot without all your desktop clutter and sensitive client files in shot? Desktop curtain hides it all without you having to lift a finger.

Coconut battery

Probably the coolest feature, apart from showing you how healthy your battery is, is that it tells you how old your Mac is, handy if you are planning on buying second hand.

Teleport

One keyboard, one mouse, several Macs. If you've tried and failed to get Synergy configured, give Teleport a whirl instead.

Flip4Mac

Windows Media® Components for QuickTime. I am finding them a little buggy but they do work.

Google Earth

Finally Google Earth on a Mac, very addictive, very cool.

Vienna

Very nice open source feed reader with search and smart folders.

Tomato Torrent

There are more advanced BitTorrent clients out there but Tomato Torrent feels like it belongs on a Mac and it is very simple to use.

AppleJack

I wouldn't be without AppleJack and it's just had an upgrade.
