7th January 2010 at 22:00 | 1 COMMENT

Audacity is an audio editing software that is free, open-source and runs on Mac OS, Linux & Windows operating systems.  It is a great tool for audio enthusiasts, who wish to get into the basics of audio editing and processing, without spending a dime.

It offers Equalization, compression, fades, tempos, and other basic tools to get you started.  The GUI looks childish, however its performance is not.  Audacity also supports addition plugins and libraries.

iGTD (I Get Things Done) and iCal for Mac

16th November 2007 at 15:13 | 2 COMMENTS

However, I felt that I was being very limited by it’s interface when entering a lot of tasks. Also, there’s no way to handle tasks than become mini-projects or big-projects. After a while, the ToDos on iCal gets very busy and cluttered when it tries to auto-sort into “today”, “tomorrow” and dates.

Flickr Finder for Mac is a cool application to browse Flickr photos through a Finder-like application on your mac. It’s speedier than browsing through a normal browser as it initially downloads little thumbs. This is especially time and bandwidth saving when on slow connections.

ianhenderson.org – delimport is a nifty little application that runs in the background, which makes it possible to search your del.icio.us bookmarks using Spotlight (only if you are on a Mac). This is very handy as you don’t have to have your del.icio.us bookmarks open in a browser to intiate a search.
