Coda + Transmit

Yesterday I downloaded the trials of Coda and Transmit, and after playing around with them for about 15-20 minutes I just had to buy them.

So far Coda is absolutely amazing and its much better than Dreamweaver,
Coda is a one-window application where Dreamweaver is multiple windows - which is kind of annoying and messy.

Transmit is also very cool, easy to use and very simple, I love it.

I recommend trying them out.

CandyBar

I bought CandyBar yesterday and so far I’m happy I did, its so simple and easy to use, I’ve changed just about every icon and my dock, and I did it all in a few seconds.

If you have a Mac, I suggest you try it out.

CSSEdit

My last post was the MacHeist bundle I bought that contains so many awesome apps, but today I’d like to talk about one of my favorites.

CSSEdit 2, This is one awesome application - It lets you create CSS Style sheets within seconds,
Since I’ve installed it I can’t stop using it, the power of this app is amazing.

Firefox sucks

Yes, you read the title right, I said Firefox sucks, Let me give you  a minute to cool off after reading that.

Since I moved to Mac OS X I’ve been using Safari and I have to admit its the most beautiful thing I have ever used, besides Mac OS X itself.
Anyway, After using Safari for quite some time now, I decided to see how Firefox is on OSX, and I’m not too impressed, the interface looks like shit and I just cant live without the Safari autocomplete address feature..
So I don’t see myself using Firefox for a while…

Windows Live Messenger

I’ve been using MSN / Windows Live Messenger for years and I’ve always loved it.

But since I used WLM 8.5 Beta I have started to dislike it, the main reason being it didn’t work right, every time someone sent me a message the damn thing crashed.

 I know it was a beta version but still - why release it when it crashes all the time? Shouldn’t they fix that before asking people to test it?, So I removed it and put 8.1 back on.

But today I thought I would try 8.5 as its now ’stable’, When I first tried it I liked the new interface but now I don’t seem to like it that much anymore, and the first time someone sent me a message the Windows border went all black - I’m guessing its because I have the window borders turned off, but still that shouldn’t have happened and made me think about going back to 8.1 - again.

When I was talking to someone and I was looking at the chat and contact windows again, I just kept remembering WLM crashing back when I had the beta installed, it was starting to annoy me, I just had to go back to 8.1, I’m not sure what I will do when they drop support for my favorite version, I guess I’ll just have to get used to the new interface or use something like Trillian.

Internet Explorer

I almost forgot to blog this, I was using Internet Explorer the other day and after clicking a link like I do in any other browser the damn thing crashed on me.

This goes to show how unstable Internet Explorer is, if clicking a link on a webpage can crash IE I wonder what downloading a file can do, would it crash the harddrive?

Now I remember why I stopped using it and switched to Firefox, which I have been using since it was in Beta.

Flock

I read about Flock months ago but I never downloaded it, today I decided to try it,
and I have to say, if you think Firefox then you really need to try Flock.

Its sexy, its fast and makes it easier upload images to Flickr, Photobucket and Facebook, it can do so many more things, but I just cant list them all, you will just have to get Flock and try it for yourself.

Get it at Flock.com
