Featured Mac Download: Time Machine Over the Network with iTimeMachine

More Time Machine functions.  This time for over the air, so I could potentially set up my Mac to back up to a drive connected to my HTPC.

Open Source Living

This might be the best open source catalog I’ve seen.  Certainly full of high-quality products.  Something sites like Sourceforge struggle with (just try a search for a specific type of software functionality if you don’t believe me).  In this case, the software is handpicked and makes for a very recommendable site for people looking for options for almost any computer function.

photodrop

Great app which allows you to create your own droplets.  I’ve created two so far, both for rotating an image, and they happen very quickly.  Barely any hesitation other than the splash screen warning you about messing with the original of an image.  Certainly faster than the PhotoShop droplets I’ve worked with in the past though the newer version of Pshop may have solved that issue without a requirement to load the full Pshop engine to do the work.

Apple: Leopard Disk Utility Format Issue Screws With Time Machine (But There’s An Easy Fix)

On my move towards using Time Machine, I was researching issues and ran into this.  Might not effect me, but I’m pretty certain the drive I’m using came formated for Windows.  Probably FAT32.  Hopefully this won’t be a real problem for me, but always good to know a solution up front if possible.

Create and Share Floorplans Online with Floorplanner.com

Now, this is a great site.  When we moved into our new house, we used it quite a bit.  Once you have a room set up, measure your furniture and start editing configurations.  I worked really well to give an idea of what didn’t work.  Didn’t always help find the perfect option, that takes hands on with the actual furniture, but it was very useful in ruling out some configurations early.

Free to create and edit one room.  For more than one room at a time, you have to pay.
