X Lossless Decoder 20120226 - Encode, transcode, and play various music file formats.. (Free)

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 10:39:38 EST

X Lossless Decoder (XLD) is a tool for Mac OS X that is able to decode/convert/play various 'lossless' audio files. The supported audio files can be split into some tracks with cue sheet when decoding.

XLD supports the following formats:

(Ogg) FLAC (.flac/.ogg)
Monkey's Audio (.ape)
Wavpack (.wv)
TTA (.tta)
Apple Lossless (.m4a) [10.4 and later]
TAK (.tak) [Requires Wine]
Shorten (.shn) [SHN v3 only]
AIFF, WAV, etc

Other formats supported by Libsndfile are also decodable. XLD uses not decoder frontend but library to decode, so no intermediate files are generated. All of the supported formats can be directly split with the cue sheet. XLD also supports so-called 'embedded' or 'internal' cue sheet.

Currently you can choose output format from WAVE,AIFF and Raw PCM. In addition, you can choose Ogg Vorbis (aoTuV), MPEG-4 AAC (QuickTime/CoreAudio), MP3 (LAME), Apple Lossless and FLAC in the GUI version.

Paperless is a digital documents manager. Remember when everyone talked about how we would soon be a paperless society? Now it seems like we use paper more than ever. Let's face it - we need and we use paper. But Paperless 2 is one of those incredibly useful applications that will help you manage all your paper and digital documents and at the same time positively affect the environment.

When it's tax time no more bringing a shoebox full of receipts to your accountant. According to ruling Rev. Proc. 97-22 from the IRS, a digital document is acceptable. With Paperless 2 you can create a Smart Collection and keep all your documents neat and tidy and in one place. Additionally, once you store your receipts in Paperless 2, you can select the receipts to email, print, or export to PDF, or even show as a chart.

Paperless 2 has the ability to keep up and maintain the task of not only reducing your need for paper but managing the paper you use. Simply scan your receipts, bills, statements, warranty cards, business cards - any paper document and the OCR function of Paperless 2 recognizes the data and adds it to the Details Window. The built-in search functionality even lets you find and organize receipts and documents into Smart Collections. Already have your documents as PDFs or other file formats? No problem. Simply drag and drop them into Paperless 2. By taking your paper receipts, product manuals and other documents and creating an electronic record you've already reduced your need for paper.

Now, doesn't that feel good?

SoftRAID 4.3 - High-quality RAID software.. (Demo)

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:59:59 EST

SoftRAID allows you to create and manage disk arrays under Mac OS X, to increase performance and reliability. SoftRAID's intuitive interface and powerful feature set makes this utility a must have for any Mac OS X Server admin, "Pro" users, Photographers, Digital Video editors and desktop users who wants more reliable backup for his computer.

Version 4.3:

SoftRAID 4.3 is fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
SoftRAID 4.3 adds support for Macintosh Firmware Updates. Users who have started up their Macs using SoftRAID RAID volumes can now apply Firmware Updates to their Macs.
SoftRAID 4.3 improves the robustness of mirror volumes. With this release, SoftRAID mirror volumes are now much more tolerant of disks which fail right in the middle of a read or write operation.
SoftRAID 4.3 improves support for SSDs (Solid State Disks) when TRIM is enabled.
SoftRAID 4.3 command line functions have also been improved. We encourage Administrators to create scripts to alert them to potential issues with their disks before a failure occurs.
All parts of the SoftRAID product now run as 64-bit code. This means that under Snow Leopard and Lion (Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7), the application will launch faster and be more responsive.
The mirror rebuild algorithm has been optimized to use less CPU time. The new algorithm uses 50-75% less CPU time than the one used in previous versions of SoftRAID. This change also speeds up all mirror rebuilds. On SSDs, rebuilds can be 10 - 50% faster
On disks which support larger transfer sizes, SoftRAID will perform mirror rebuilds in larger blocks (up to 4 MB). This results in 10 - 20% faster rebuilds.
All verify, zero and certify disk operations now use larger blocks (up to 16 MB) on disks that support them. This results in a 10-15% speed increase of these operations.
SoftRAID can now resume a zero, verify or certify disk operation. If you quit SoftRAID during one of these operations and then relaunch it the next day, SoftRAID will allow you to resume the operation where you left off.
The SoftRAID driver now supports TRIM commands for all brands of SSDs when running under Lion (Mac OS X 10.7). This can dramatically increase the useful life of SSDs. Unlike most other RAID solutions, SoftRAID even supports TRIM on stripe volumes (RAID 0). Support for TRIM commands can be disabled in the SoftRAID preferences.
The SoftRAID Monitor has new code for sending out email notifications. The code in previous versions of SoftRAID would fail to send out emails 1-5% of the time. The new code is much more reliable.
SoftRAID can now detect when an SSD is worn out. This works on most brands of SSDs which are currently shipping except those sold by Apple. This also works on Intel SSDs and SSDs using the SandForce controller which were shipped in the past couple of years. The SoftRAID application now displays the "media life remaining" in
the expanded disk tile of a SSD. When the SSD indicates that it has less than 10% of its media life remaining, SoftRAID will display a warning dialog. You can also configure SoftRAID so that the SoftRAID Monitor will display a dialog at startup or send you an email notification when your SSD has less than 10% of its media life remaining.
The compression algorithm used for Tech Support Reports has been changed. Tech Support Reports are now 8 times smaller and can be reliably sent as email attachments.
The SoftRAID Tool can now display the raw SMART data from a disk. To display the the SMART data from all disks, use the following command: "softraidtool disk all getsmartdata".
When creating a stripe volume (RAID 0), SoftRAID now supports stripe unit sizes of up to 1 MB on FireWire disks when running under Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) or later.
The SoftRAID application is now much better at detecting disk hangs. It can detect a disk hang during most SoftRAID operations and will indicate the disk offset where the hang occurred.

NeoOffice 3.2.1 Patch 4 - Mac-tailored, OpenOffice-based productivity suite (donation-ware).. (Updater)

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 23:59:59 EST

NeoOffice is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, drawing, and database programs) for Mac OS X. Based on the OpenOffice.org office suite, NeoOffice has integrated dozens of native Mac features and can import, edit, and exchange files with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.

Released as open-source software under the GNU General Public License (GPL), NeoOffice is fully functional and stable enough for everyday use. The software is actively developed, so improvements and small updates are made available on a regular basis.

Please consider donating to the NeoOffice project, see the link below on this page.

Version 3.2.1 Patch 4:

Fixed Bugs:

Opening certain .docx files causes comments to be merged and repeated
Dragging table column name from data source fails
A failed login shows a blank page in the NeoOffice Mobile window
Pressing the window zoom button causes incorrect resizing in NeoOffice Mobile login screen

Also, in NeoOffice 3.2.1 Patch 4 we simplified the process for downloading and installing future patches and new versions of NeoOffice. Several donors felt that the NeoOffice update process required too many steps so we have made the following changes to reduce the number of steps that users will need to do when NeoOffice's automatic update checking indicates that a patch or new version of NeoOffice is available:

Starting with NeoOffice 3.2.1 Patch 4, NeoOffice will download the update from within NeoOffice. If downloading of the update fails or gets interrupted, NeoOffice will automatically try to resume the download from where the download failed.
After the download completes, NeoOffice will automatically open the downloaded file and ask the user if they want to install the update now or install it later. If the user chooses to install the update now, NeoOffice will quit normally and launch the installer in the downloaded file. If the user chooses to install the update later, the user will be asked if they want to install the update when they quit NeoOffice.

Things is task management solution that helps to organize your tasks in an elegant and intuitive way. Things combines powerful features with simplicity through the use of tags and its intelligent filter bar. A Leopard style source list allows for quick and easy focusing.

Our screencast is a great introduction. Learn from our users why Things is different ? either on i use this or Newsvine.

The big picture. A Leopard style source list lets you easily focus without ever switching view modes or wrapping your head around filter criteria.
A magical tag bar automatically appears when needed and adapts to the currently displayed list. It lets you drill down even the longest list of To-Dos. Hierarchical tags? We got you covered!
Teamwork. Things offers convenient collaboration features. Easily delegate tasks to members of your team. (This is work in progress.)
No columns! Whether it's multiple tags, dates or notes, To-Do items display their information on an as needed basis. No more space wasted by empty or irrelevant column cells!
Out of your head, out of your way. A quick entry HUD lets you enter any idea the moment it hits you. Never let the thought of an unfinished business distract you again.
Yours forever. We won't lock you in. Things will use an open XML file format to store your data. (Not yet activated.)
Things even supports GTD, so if you're familiar and comfortable with GTD concepts, you'll feel right at home.

Version 1.6b21:

This is the first beta release of Things Cloud. For more information of Cloud integration for Things, please view the developer's FAQ.
A fresh start. The beta starts with a new, empty database. The Mac beta runs as a separate app alongside the regular app. The iOS apps have a button inside the app to switch between your beta database and your regular database. In the coming weeks we’ll provide a way to import your existing data.
