| "Shilling our worthless wares and baubles since 1895!" |
Thursday, August 21, 2008 |
OK, I don't usually just post links to other sites, but this just may be the coolest low/high-tech idea ever. I'm off to try this myself…
Edit: It's worth checking out Lee's other experiments with Wiimote technology as well.
I try not to shill products or special deals in my posts, but this one's too good to keep to myself: If you've got a Mac user on your Christmas list — or if you just want to freshen your own OS X software library — you should check out the bundle currently being offered at MacUpdate's promotional site, www.mupromo.com (and no, I'm not getting any referral money for this).
For $49.95, they've packaged together eight real and useful programs that might otherwise cost more than $500 if bought separately. Sure, I'll probably never use the Marine Aquarium screensaver,
but it will make someone else happy — and I've already got my money's worth with the discounted Forklift and Yep utilities. The other programs, which include the top-rated RapidWeaver, MemoryMiner, XSlimmer, Swift Publisher and XMIND 2008 PRO, are just great gravy that I can now explore with a full license.
So why am I bothering to tell everyone else? Because if enough people buy the bundle, MacUpdate promises to throw in a couple of additional programs for free. And I could really use iStabilize myself…
Love editing your Flash ActionScript files in jEdit, but want better debugging tools within the editor itself? Maybe you'd like to jump directly to errors indicated within your code without resorting to the Flash IDE?
Today's tip just makes me plain happy.
It may take a few minutes to set up, but it definitely shows off the power and expandability of jEdit — while also providing a heckuva nice (and long awaited) feature for us cross-platform Flashers.
