Competition Winners

Posted on Thursday, April 2, 2009 by | Add a comment

Thanks to everyone who entered the Whitex 2 Beta competition. The response was brilliant so we’ll be working on more competitions in the future.

Our two winners are George L and Nick B. On behalf of Blue Pyjama I would like to say that we were very happy to sponsor a competition and I hope that we can do it again soon.

Disney always tells you to “Wish upon a star” to make your dreams come true. While I Love Stars from The Potion Factory won’t make dreams come true, It definitely solved a problem that I had.

I Love Stars is a Menubar app that displays clearly your rating of the current iTunes song. By simply clicking on a star you can change the rating of a song. If you hate to have unrated songs in your library (like yours truly) you can have it flash and play a sound when an unrated song is played.

A great feature of I Love Stars is the fact that it is so discrete. When you aren’t playing a song it hides and you can also make it disappear when unrateable things (podcasts, streams etc.) are playing. To operate it you can either click on the stars or use keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl-Cmd-star rating).

I Love Stars is a great little app that does one thing but does it well. You can get it for free today from The Potion Factory

Keaton’s Kumquats

Posted on Friday, March 27, 2009 by | 2 comments

Apparently it’s now a unspoken rule that all of our recurring segments have to use alliteration, unfortunately I drew the short straw and got stuck with the letter ‘K’. Very little apple-related starts with K, but then I realized that I can publish my own posts on this blog now, so I just thought of the most random thing I possibly could that starts with K. Turns out that’s Kumquats. The problem is that I have very little to say about kumquats. So the rest of this post will be very short, only lengthened by the fact that it’s entirely in binary:

Sebastian Succeds with Hazel

Posted on Thursday, March 26, 2009 by | 3 comments

I’ve been looking for a tool to take out the trash and do my repetitive filling jobs for a while now and I think that I’ve found my favorite. Meet Hazel, my personal housekeeper.

Hazel is a background app that does so much. Hazel is a preference pane that you access through system preferences. When you open the Hazel preference pane you are greeted by 3 tabs; Folders, Trash and Info. I’m going to run through what each one does.

This episode is a little bit special, first of all it’s another long show (sorry about that, but we think you’ll enjoy it) and also it’s an all Irish or part Irish show!
