Oolite 1.74.2 - Pirate & bounty hunting sim game. (Free): "

Oolite 1.74.2

Oolite is a space sim game, written for Mac OS X in Objective C using Cocoa and OpenGL.

It was written as my response to the withdrawal of Elite - The New Kind from the internet. Although inspired by the work of Christian Pinder, following David Braben and Ian Bell, the work is an independent interpretation and expansion of the original game.

Oolite is designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up and expand upon. Almost every aspect of the game can be modified using simple, free graphics packages and text-editors.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.74.2:

• Stopped player from selecting invalid jump destination during jump countdown.
  
• Fixed docking permissions inconsistencies: all hostile stations now refuse
  docking permissions.
  
• Switching to custom views now allowed in a consistent way.
  
• Weapon repeat rate is now per-weapon.
  
• Current zoom level is now preserved when switching HUDs.
  
• Exhaust plume now resets after hyperspace jumps/scripted teleporting/
  auto-docking.
  
• Fixed overlapping system confusion when loading games and searching for
  systems.
  
• All automatically generated sun skimmers should now be adequately shielded.
  
• Fixed occasional \'bleached\'-looking planets on system info screen.

  the long range chart.
  
• Improved default speech synthesis voice (not Mac OS X).
  
• SystemInfo.systemsInRange() can now be called on a specific SystemInfo
  object, instead of always applying to the current system.
  
• New JavaScript event: shipAttackedOther() (inverse of shipBeingAttacked(),
  called immediately after shipBeingAttacked()).
  
• If a script removes a piece of equipment in the equipmentDamaged() event
  handler, no \'equipment damaged\' message is generated.
  
• Ship.removeEquipment() now works on damaged equipment.
  
• Fixed substitution priority for expandDescription() and expandMissionText(),
  the overrides (if provided) now take precedence over everything else.
  
• New shipinfo key: station_roll.
  
• Fixed some cases where AIs could break group handling.
  
• Shader errors detected in the link phase (generally, problems involving
  state shared between the vertex and fragment shader) are now reported
  properly.

FlashToHTML5 1.1 - Minimize CPU and memory usage when viewing Flash. (Free): "

FlashToHTML5 1.1

FlashToHTML5 is my very first Safari 5 Extension.

We all know it: the standard YouTube Flash Player is a big CPU and memory hog.
That\'s exactly why I created FlashToHTML5, my very first extension for Safari 5.

If possible, FlashToHTML5 will replace the CPU and memory hogging YouTube Flash Player with a HTML5 player.
Not only will it look nicer, you will also notice that your computer will run cooler and faster. If you use a laptop, you will also notice that the battery life of a fully charged battery will increase.

FlashToHTML5 will also automatically load the video at the highest quality available, WITHOUT advertisements!
The only downside is that subtitles and user-captions are not displayed, but that\'s something that I may add support for in the future. ;-)

Some videos on YouTube are not available in a format that can be played by the HTML5 player, so if that\'s the case, FlashToHTML5 will automatically switch back to the standard YouTube Flash Player.

WHAT'S NEW

Version 1.1:

• Fixed a problem that caused FlashToHTML5 to not work.
  
  
• Note: you will probably have to manually update FlashToHTML5, as this new version uses a new Safari Developer Certificate.

REQUIREMENTS

• Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.
• Safari 5.

SonicMood 4.9.8.1

SonicMood... Life stressing you out? Do you need to relax or block out that annoying babble from the next cubicle? Maybe you are just having a hard time falling asleep? SonicMood creates a soothing background of melodic tones to lower your stress and help you relax. Each 'Mood' is a blend of polyphonic stereo instrumentals with pleasing harmonies combined with the sounds of nature. Moods have a mellowing effect, the gentle sounds lying just below your consciousness. SonicMood comes with 34 pre-defined Moods AND you can create your own! It's ambient music at its best!

The 34 Moods use a mix of different instruments, including bells, crystals, kalimbas, glockenspiels, violins, and many others. Audio files of nature sounds are added to each mood. You can create your own moods or edit the existing moods. You won't find anything like this in conventional music...

WHAT'S NEW

Version 4.9.8.1:

• Added the Moods 'Windy Day' and 'Climbing Mount Fuji'.
  
• Undo/redo for the main SonicMood window, the Edit window, and the Mixer window now share a common stack. The other windows, like Preferences and the Picture window, continue to have separate undo/redo stacks.
  
• Made some changes to the Edit window to make it a little more understandable. Specifically, labels were improved and controls were rearranged to a more logical arrangement. Also updated some of the HelpTags.
  
• Added an option in the Preferences to select whether to allow dimming of window backgrounds when SonicMood loses focus. Also changed the background when dimmed so it was just dimmer, but not gray.
  
• Made some minor cosmetic changes to a few windows.
  
• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash during a check for a newer version.
  
• Fixed a bug that was causing SonicMood to pause if using the space bar in some save dialog windows.
  
• Fixed a few other small bugs.

Join Together 6.0.2

Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selected iTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track. Optionally, you can create a \'chapterized\' audio file of the exported AAC file with pointers to the individually joined tracks.

Join Together comes in two flavors:

The basic version of Join Together is free and always will be. It has the same or better features--and performs as well or better--as it ever has without restrictions. Most users will find the free basic version of Join Together satisfactory for their track-joining needs.

Join Together Plus is an optional shareware upgrade that provides additional pre-flight and post-op features that have been requested by power-users. You can upgrade to Join Together Plus from the free basic version for US$7. This is to cover development and support expenses, which, in turn, helps make Join Together work better for everybody. See Join Together\'s Help pages for more information on its Plus features.

(I appreciate all feedback, but I cannot effectively respond to comments made here. Please email comments directly to me. Thanks!)
