"My Mac"

| | TrackBacks (0)
I posted what goes in my bag; I think that my Mac's apps are much more interesting:

Of course the usual culprits are on my Mac:

::  from Apple
Mac OS 10.5 Leopard
  • Photobooth gets a workout - great fun with Cynthia
  • Automator launches my chat apps on startup
  • Font Book gets used often enough
  • Image Capture - because I catalog my photos with Finder, then import into Aperture.
  • Mail.app - for work's Exchange
  • Time Machine, iCal, QuickTime, Activity Monitor - obviously
iLife '09
  • iPhoto - for our iPhones
  • iWeb - fourpointedstar.com
  • don't really use any of the other iLife apps
iWork '09 - only really use Keynote
Aperture - Oh how I love this software!
Final Cut Express - like Final Cut ... for notebooks

:: paid apps
  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Aperture has replaced most of it's use with my photo editing, but I tried to use Acorn, and I found that I still love PS because of its actions and familiarity.
  • Microsoft Office 2008 - I only use Excel to create documents, I use Word and PowerPoint only when I need to read a document, and I refuse to use Entourage.
  • I bought both NetNewsWire and OmniWeb before they were free; and I still use NNW for all of my RSS needs.

:: free apps
Connectivity
  • Adium - it's all in one client, even FaceBook (which I disabled)
  • Chicken of the VNC - for all (1) of the Win2000 PCs on my network
  • CoRD - all of my remote Windows connections in one window
  • Cyberduck - free and easy to setup for FTP
  • Google Notifier

Browsers
  • FireFox with VertTabbar - only use FFX because I can put my tabs on the right side, ala OmniWeb
  • OmniWeb - no longer use because it would lock up RAM and wasn't likely to get the "remember session" feature
  • Camino, Flock, Opera, Safari - all for logging into multiple accounts at once
  • Stainless - because I have to use a crashy browser every once in a while

Etc.
  • Disk Inventory X - it's like SpaceMonger, but slower and uglier
  • FileWrangler - for all my renaming needs
  • Flip4Mac - .wmv on my Mac
  • Google Earth - way too cool
  • MacTracker - because I am a Mac nerd
  • Picasa - because I am a photography nerd
  • Quicksilver - my app launcher
  • FLV player
  • TextWrangler - editing html and css
  • TinkerTool
  • TwitterPod
