My adaptation to the OS X land…

Posted in mac/os x at 10:23 am by Clinton

Okay, in the ever-increasing learning path of doing things the os x way, here’s a few more things I now know that I didn’t know that Andrew hasn’t posted :) …

  • VNC - I’m using “Chicken of the VNC” (GNU) (based on the VNCViewer)
  • SFTP GUI - Fugu (thanks Lucien for that pointer)
  • IR Control (for PowerPoint that is) - iRed Lite (Free beta download - shareware in future). (Thanks Andrew for that one)
  • Date/Calendar from Entourage - MenuCalendarClock
     from Objectpark Software. Free and Pay version.

Installed the os x dev tools… coding time. Screen shots to follow :)

Major frustration - shift+up/down arrow group selection behaviour. Not what I expect, not useful from my pov as is, can’t find a way to make it work the windows way. Yes - windows.

Delphi 7 under parallels runs fine.

    Try Salling Clicker for remote control. It works from a bluetooth enabled pda or phone and also covers iTunes. I use it alot at home with my media setup and it is well worth the purchase.

    Thanks,
