So I went for an interview today yay! that's live 5 already :p Seems like a good place with good people - i't's real weird that i try NOT to get too enthusiastic about getting the job in order to NOT be too dissapointed if i don't get it, but at the same time you have to be enthusiastic i the interview as you actually WANT to get the job - sheesh!
So, it was over in newcastle and it would be a huge opportunity to move out of my parents on my own at last :D plus it has a supermaret handy right in amonst the housing estate - nice places to go for walks and all, PLUS it's shift work - days and nights like means days off yeah!
Just thought i'd share some news :)
I was digging around the other day serching freeware and open-souce stuff, i was looking for something inparticular in a cd collection lbrary application but failing to do so. I did however find a few applications that were a suprise quite frankly and thought that they may be of use to some people.
First off in the open-source bin we have Books which is book cataloging application to keep track of your library (requires OSX 10.4).
Secondly we have Cashbox a personal finance management application (requires OSX 10.4).
This one might prove a little tricky, i'm not sure but the instructions seem pretty straightforward and Home Media Librarian is a java application that uses MySQL database. It does what is says on the tin, catalogue your cd's, dvd's, records or music collection.
Now two freeware apps - eBook Library is an application developed to help you practice speed reading.
Luca is a fully featured and fully functional accounting application - snap it up, awesome freeware (requires OSX 10.4 Tiger)

Ok, 10.4.9 system update is out - if you didn't know check your "software update" now, as recommended on osxhints you should restart twice and do a permisions repair after the update and this should make all well. The first reboot may take a few minutes longer than usual, just thought i'd make you aware.
Now to the point of my post, now that you have updated to 10.4.9 your copy of MainMenu 1.7 wil not work and you will have to wait until 1.8 is released - "so, how do i repair my permissions then?" i hear you ask, well there is of course Disk Utility in the "Utilities" folder amongst your applications but - and here the main point of the post - i had seen stuff on this freeware application called IceClean.
IceClean is a system optimization and maintenance tool which utilises the built in unix system tasks to help keep your mac perky

I just came across a browser i've never heard of before called DeskBrowse. It looks and feels pretty neat and nifty, is pretty fast too, what is different about this is that it has two modes - a secure full screen mode and a smaller desktop mode that slides in and out of the left hand side of the screen as you can see in the image below;
the full screen mode is acessed by the key combination of command + F2 while the destop window slides in and out at the keypress of command + F1. DeskBrose also integrating with the menu bar for quick acess to it's menu and controlls while in other applictions, it seems superbly suited to a task like compiling research material into a document or studying/reading online as you can easily slide DeskBrowse away to to anothe task and then slide out to resume online activity.
Looking into it myself, i do find it a bit laking in a few areas at present but do give it a chance as it is only version 1.0. I feel first of all it needs a few things in the preferences, mainly that of position control of the window as you cannot move the window to the top of your screen to allow a greater window size, which i feel may allow better use of DeskBrowse for when i want to drag and increase the window size - of which i cannot and want to. Secondly i find the bookmark facilities lacking a whole lot - it's pretty basic saying that. But all in all, it's different, fun and funky - and looking real good, i will be looking out for further developments of DeskBrowser hoping those features will be put in them i'm set.
To add, i actually realised there is no support fotr this app at the moment and the developer is looking for some help to continue development of DeskBrowse, so if there is any cocao programmers out there who want to get stuck into developing this app i want to see version 2.0 :D
