so for all those mac users out there- this one if for you...
i have decided to temporarily leave my self-pitying poems of no structure and little interest to anyone else. (my main reason for doing this came after checking out all my friends’ notes on facebook- you go do the same. most of them are people feeling sorry for themselves. there are the odd exceptions like a man called brett anderson who writes notes sometimes about other people or about interesting subjects other than himself. but for the most part it’s all hogwash- my posts included... )
but i have discovered a few joyful mac things in the last few weeks that i would like to share:
1. Net News Wire ... a freeware RSS feed reader allowing you to subscribe to multiple RSS feeds and to monitor these feeds by ‘updating’ when you are online. you can automate quite a lot of actions and set it as the default RSS reader for use with firefox etc... http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/netnewswire.html
2. MacJournal ... a great place to type. It has the full screen option that allows you to feel like a ‘real writer’ when you are having coffee in the local mugg and bean ;-) it has a blog uploader facility that allows you to send your musings to your blog if you have one. Otherwise it is till great for other stuff. http://www.freemacware.com/macjournal
3. Free Mac Ware ... the greatest website showcasing only free downloads (no shareware rubbish that gets your hopes up only to smash them again... http://www.freemacware.com
4. Adium ... oh let me count the ways that i love adium... this is a chat programme that is just great. lots of options but yet very simple. you can add msn, gmail, and even mxit people onto one contact list. http://www.freemacware.com/category/mac-communication-software/
That’s all for now... time to hit the the upload button on the macjournal toolbar...
