This is just going to be a quick review of a small application called Fantasktik. Fanktasktik is a small menu bar/application switcher that you can use to quickly navigate your applications. Its unobtrusive and easy to use. It also has some interesting features which enable you to switch applications quickly.
I’m trying not to make a habit of posting to many MacUpdate Promotions, I think it degrades the quality of this site. Anyway today MacPromo an application I have had my eye on for a long time. It is called Awaken, it’s on offer at MacPromo. The application is a small alarm clock app that you can use to play your iTunes library at a certain time, a sound or a task. Later today I am going to show you how you can do this for free with a bit of scripting.
If you have been following my latest tweets I have mentioned regularly about website development. The reason behind this is due to the fact I am using Coda by Panic. Coda is an all in one application for developing and maintaining websites. It really has everything you need and trust me when I say you don’t need another program at all, not even your web browser. The program is a mix of CSSEdit, TextMate, Expandrive, Terminal, Transmit, Versions, Safari and a reference manual all in one.
Kinemac has appeared on MacUpdate a couple of times. I haven’t reviewed it before simply because it is a large, expensive, program and needs a good couple of hours to work out how to use it and see if it is right for you.Thankfully it is currently the weekend. As a result I have been able to try out this program and hopefully you will be able to as well.
I love using Time Machine as a backup tool. Although I do still do monthly backups, as a quick way of recovering old files nothing can beat it. Time Machine, by default, is set to backup every single hour. This can for some people be a problem. You may have a Mac which you are using for production use, the extra CPU and disk usage could bedetrimental to your work. As well as this, may be you only want Time Machine to back up once or twice a day, to keep back up disk usage down. On the face of it there isn’t a very easy way to do this. But a cool little program called TimeMachineEditor can do this all for you.
Yesterday I mentioned about Ten Time Wasting Apps. One of the applications on the list was Frenzic. I was so impressed by how fun and addicting this game was I felt it deserved a full review. This idea behind Frenzic is pretty simple. You have to fill up the out circles (or pie’s) with the piece you are given. When you fill up a circle you get some points. The more points the higher you will be placed on the leader board.
