For a while now I’ve been wanting to replace my external HD I use for backing up my Mac with Time Machine, I decided to get Time Capsule after reading the specs on it.

Backup Drive, Router with Wireless? What a deal, So today I went out to the store where I buy most of my Apple things, Beyond.

The people there are helpful and very friendly, I bought my first iPod from there, although I did buy my other iPod’s and iMac from JB Hi Fi.

Anyway, Time Capsule frees up space on my desk and cuts out the middle man that pisses me off, my old Linksys Router.

I recommend Time Capsule to anyone who wants to use Time Machine to backup their Mac.

I bought the MacUpdate Parallels Bundle the other day, Main reason is because it came with Parallels.

Parallels was unlocked at 6,100 sales I think? but was originally set to unlock at 15,000 sales, what were they thinking? MacUpdate Promo is so shit no one buys the crap from there, what makes them think 15,000 people will buy their bundle?

They are always posting shit apps and pissy baby games on the weekend,
I mean seriously WHO plays 2D games that were on the bloody GameBoy 20 years ago?

If you looked at their sales, I’m sure only about 100-200 people actually buy their daily promos, and probably only around 30-60 people buy their game promos.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, MacUpdat Promo is shit.

I just bought the MacUpdate Promo Bundle, so far MenuCalendarClock is my favorite.

I was holding out on buying it until I knew all the apps would get unlocked, and it looks like they will.

Hopefully soon Parallels will be unlocked, Could come in handy when I don’t want to boot up my Winblows Windows machine.

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.

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.

I recently installed Adium to check out how good it is, and so far I’m impressed, it is a hell of a lot better than Messenger:Mac from Microshit Microsoft.

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.

I purchased the MacHeist Bundle (a bunch of apps for Mac) today, and I have to say it was the smartest thing I ever did.

I love the Mighty Mouse, I really do, However since its started that stupid shit with the side buttons it’s really getting annoying, even with the actions turned off from the Mouse Settings it still makes a clicking sound - even when I’m not touching the buttons.

Yesterday I went out and bought an external hard drive to use with Time Machine, and to be honest Time Machine is really great.

I don’t know what made me type “svn help” into Terminal but it actually worked, and I don’t remember installing Subversion on Leopard, so I did a little searching and found out that Leopard comes with Subversion installed, thats actually pretty sweet.

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