Transmission 0.7 beta reviewed by Torrentfreak (TUAW.com)

Nov 1st 2006 10:07PM Want to know why Xtorrent is so similar to Transmission and vice versa? Because Xtorrent is based on libtransmission, which is the library that the Transmission developers built.

So, from reading through the Transmission forums, it looks as though the developers of both apps will be sharing some code with each other. Sounds like a good thing for us mac users, if you ask me :)

Weekend review: this week's software for 8-13-06 (TUAW.com)

Aug 13th 2006 10:43PM There's a typo in Sam's comment: I think you meant "an" instead of "a", since the word Intel does not start with a consonant sound.

*cough*

Afloat - window floating and transparency at the stroke of a key (TUAW.com)

Aug 6th 2006 1:38AM David:

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. Like Firefox, Camino's devs make nightly builds available each day at this url:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/nightly/

You can just download the actual app there, no getting the source and building yourself required. The builds that have the spellcheck in them are the ones marked "trunk" and "1.1-M1.8/". The latter is what Camino 1.1 will be, eventually. The other builds, marked "1.0-M1.8.0/" is what Camino 1.0.2 uses, and that won't have spell check. I've been using the latest "1.1-M1.8" build for today, and it seems to be working fine, so that's what you'd want to download. Sorry for the confusion...I know this can be confusing!

Aug 6th 2006 12:16AM David, Camino's nightly trunk builds on the branch and trunk have spell checking currently implemented in form fields like the one I'm typing this comment in. I haven't tried Firefox's spellchecking, but I do know they are dependent on some of the same code in both browsers, so I'm not sure what's different in the implementation in both browsers.

Just throwing that out there for ya :)

Top menu bar tools for your Mac (Download Squad)

Aug 5th 2005 8:53PM Another menu bar tool that I find handy is URLwell, which I use to store URLs that I don't feel like bookmarking or have pile up on my desktop. Good for those sites where you say "oh, I'll read this later..." http://www.enigmarelle.com/urlwell.py
