New hard drive! Hooraj! And the first re-install of OS X in a long, long time.
I backed up most of my home directory but decided to re-install my applications. Why? I don’t know.
Essential applications:
- Quicksilver: my computer felt broken without this.
- uControl: Caps Lock to Control, Enter (to the right of my space bar) to Command, scrollwheel emulation with Function + touchpad. The uControl installer checks for specific versions of IOHIDFamily. OS X 10.3.6 has version 1.3.5, newer than uControl 1.4.4). Adding it to
uControl1.4.4.pkg/Contents/Resources/InstallationCheck fixes the installer.
- Desktop Manager: virtual desktops for OS X.
- BitTorrent
- SSHKeychain
- MPlayerOSX
- Shrook: for RSS and Atom feeds.
- Growl: Little notification bubbles that show stuff like the current song in iTunes.
- MenuCalendarClock: the new version of CalendarClock. There’s a pay version now, but the free version still does everything I want. And now Sundays aren’t red.
