iRoster: Bonjour services made easy

Images Iroster Iroster 200X200 I have lots of macs running on the office and have recently found this little application called iRoster that allows you to register applescripts as Bonjour services. In addition the application can display other available services and quickly launch them. This allows me to expose an applescript to start a VNC server that I can then launch remotely via Bonjour.

I have a Garmin Venture GPS and am I am looking around for OSX software for mapping and uploading of waypoints. While searching around the Internet I found this great site that has a good list of commercial and in development OSX GPS software.

Mac-Mac Sync Without .Mac

Mysync Mysync128X128 If you are anything like me you will have lots of macs and you want to have the same calendar information and address book on them all. Well if they are all on the same network you can use a little program called MySync. Get it while it is still in Beta as it is Free (yes still my favourite word) but it will become shareware in the future. MySync uses the Apple sync framework to achieve the syncing which means as more programs support this framework then MySync will automatically work with those new programs, wonderful. This is the second program I have seen recently that is using the Apple sync framework as I have just recently installed the MarkSpace Palm Missing Sync Software Version 5 that now uses the sync framework and provides a much enhanced capability to synchronise my Palm organiser.

JavaScript Editor for Eclipse

Jseclipse Lonely H50-1 Here is a great plugin for the Eclipse development environment for all those creating JavaScript applications for their websites. This especially good for using the AJAX concepts to develop interactive web-based applications that I have mentioned in earlier posts. Installation is easy by either downloading the plugin and manually installing or adding a new remote site to the update manager of Eclipse itself. Downloads, screenshots and flash presentations of the plugin in use are available from the link below.

Huge Arse Sub

Graphics Rwimage1 So you like subwoofer speakers? Are you tired of having that bloody big box in the corner of your room? Or are you wanting a bigger sub? Well this is your product, it is called the Eminent Tech TRW 17 and yes it does look like a big fan. Apparently this uses the air of the room that it is in to actually create the bass, unlike normal subs that compress the air in the large box. According to the specs it actually turns your whole room into a subwoofer so you actually need to install this sub into your attic, basement or your “Sub Room” (for those who have too much money). Now you may be asking if it actually sounds any good well according to the reviews it is absolutely brilliant with a FLAT response right down to 1Hz. Have a look at the link below as there are also pictures of different installations and test setups.

Stuff On My Cat

Media 2 20051031-Angelina This site is sooo cool. I know that I have had fun sticking things in my parents pet cat's mouth when it is sleeping and can not be bothered with the rest of the world. It truly is amazing what cats will take when they are fast asleep. This site is a testament to this fact. People have even be able to balance quite a lot of crap ontop of the cat and keep it there long enough to take a photo. Have a look for yourself, quite funny.
