    ToDo List suggestions?

    I am looking for a good to-do list software for my mac desktop. Specifically, I need something that is a) easy to access, and b) unobtrusive. I would envision perhaps something that hides as a small tab on the side of my screen, where I could click to view the list, and click again to hide it. A...

    iTunes Songbook generator

    Does anyone know of any software that you can point to an iTunes playlist and have it generate a "songbook" of the lyrics from those songs using the embedded iTunes lyrics? Thanks.

    iTunes Alarm suggestions?

    My sincerest apologies if anything I said came across as mean or unkind. It was in no way my intention or feelings behind the post. I was simply trying to point out why, exactly, that particular free application didn't meet the criteria I am looking for in an alarm clock. If through my poor...

    iTunes Alarm suggestions?

    I don't WANT to spend money, however I am willing to spend a reasonable amount for quality software that actually fits my needs. The free "Alarm Clock" which you mention unfortunately completely violates the first two of the three "must haves" that I specified, thereby ruling it out. The paid...

    iTunes Alarm suggestions?

    Ok, thanks to the link posted by #1 Rhapsody in the first replay, I discovered Alarm Clock Pro, by koingo software, which seems to fit the bill quite nicely. Thanks!

    iTunes Alarm suggestions?

    Right, which is good. The problem is that while the alarm is going off, awaken holds the system volume at the set level. So until I log into the screen saver and stop the alarm, I have no way of stopping my computer from yelling at me. I want to be able to just hit the volume down button on my...

    iTunes Alarm suggestions?

    Yeah, I tried awaken, and it looked like the best of the bunch, but unfortunately it violates requirement #2 - sort of. If I am recalling correctly, it does, in fact, use the iTunes volume to fade in, but at the same time it "holds" the system volume at the set level, so I can't just turn the...

    iTunes Alarm suggestions?

    I have used iTuneSleep for quite a while, and, for the most part, quite like it. Unfortunately it no longer works in 10.6, and from what I can tell the developer is no longer reachable. So I'm looking for a replacement. Nothing I have found so far, however, quite meets my need, so I am asking...

    Applying rules to sent mail

    Another reason why (for me at least) smart folders are not an option: I want to organize my e-mail such that all messages from a given contact are stored in a folder, with a sub-folder for all messages I sent to them. As far as I can tell, a smart folder can't be a subfolder. So, back to the...

    What sort of labeling system did you use for the cables?

    Port Numbering Scheme

    The office where I work is planning to redo the network wiring, and we are looking for some ideas as to how to identify the various network jacks. The layout of the building is roughly two rows of offices, one on each side of a large hanger area, with two stories each. Network jacks are located...

    Distributed C++ builds?

    Ok, managed to fix that by installing a fresh build of distcc - apparently the apple supplied build is just different enough that it only works through Xcode. Final question: how can I get distcc to play nice with Fink? The problem here is that the make command needs to be issued with the -j [#]...

    Distributed C++ builds?

    Thanks, that does look like it does what I want it to. However, I am having a problem with it. Specifically, after setting it up in masquerade mode as detailed in the help file, whenever I try to compile anything using either the gcc command or "make -j" I get an error saying "distcc[9642]...

    Distributed C++ builds?

    I know Xcode has a distributed build feature, but is there some way to get this directly for the underlying build processes without going through Xcode? Specifically, I often compile large programs using Fink, a process which often takes a number of hours to complete. Is there some way I can...

    Firewall Issues

    Oh, I should probably add that this problem ONLY affects web browsing (port 80, I believe). Other internet services, such as instant messaging, POP and IMAP e-mail receiving, and SMTP sending work just fine.
