The ABCs of Open Source Macintosh Computer SoftwareĪdium / Audacity / Adblock / anybody use Apache anymore?įfmpegx / FLAC for QT / flux / Flip4Mac / FlashFrozen / FlashBlock / FlashGot Without further ado (and not perfectly edited, I know I’m making some guesses here and some of these are either not open sourced or not free, but I intend a brief list of the few worthwhile unbloated paywares below, so please if you wish, correct my errors) : Some things have been added, but most of these pieces of excellent (and mostly “pay-only-if-you-like-it”) software have been around a while. Shuffled through my notes for a novel written more than a year ago, discovering some interesting paths I never actually remembered to go down, or at least not yet, anyway.Īnd then the cloudy Salinas skies parted and I saw a ray of tungsten lamp light shine across the page where I’d written a hasty list of all the “essential mac apps” I wanted to re-download and install ASAP after acquiring a used mac those many years ago. So I did the dishes, made some notes, nixed attempting to read my book because it’s harder, while not impossible, to do listening to spoken word commentary. Listening to Kevin and Jen on Plus One Per Diem, one day behind via the podcast and not the live stream because old habits die harder than some, I guess.
Being in the 90th percentile for anything might be cause for celebration, but I’m afraid of heights and I don’t like pedestals. I’ve been up here for some yet-to-be-perfectly-defined purpose. So going to motivational seminars or becoming the used-car-salesman type required to be successful at giving said lectures – neither one ever appealed to me much.įor whatever reasons and whoever I have to thank (or coise) for my fate, I have not been over there. Convincing them to hand it over just takes a little stage panache and patter. I mean, of course, that’s where the easy money is. Some days I just don’t get the people peddling to the middle, the mean, the average. You ever do just one thing at a time anymore? I know the productivity lecturers, the motivational speakers, and the performance analysts, the to-do list, GTD nuts all say that multitasking is a myth.
