After only being a relatively new Mac owner - 7 months or so - I've come to really love some of the apps that enhance my productivity or simply make using a computer a joy. In no real order, I'll jot them down.

Please do comment on your thoughts as I'd be interested to hear your side of things.

Finally gave this site a new look after testing things out for a long time. (Plus I was busy doing other work stuff). It's a lot like a plumber never fixing the pipes at home I think.

It was time for a change and one I wanted to move more towards a clean and simple look.

HooYah,

I started off with the Macbook Pro and really disliking the Trackpad.

Don't get me wrong here. The Macbook Pro is one hot dang sexy unit. I think coming from a Windows system, I like my two button mouse, double-clicking where required as well as right-clicking. It seemed to me that the TrackPad was simply limiting in functionality.

Well, smack my tushy, how wrong can I be!!!

OSX has some really hidden secrets in it's Preferences and the Trackpad is one of them.

Pretty well normal human behavior.

I've always thought Drupal was a nasty CMS - probably as that's the first impression I was given by someone who introduced me to Joomla :)

Well, having worked with Joomla for quite a while now, I've come to realise that Joomla isn't really the best CMS when it comes to quality components and, more importantly, a robust and configurable Shopping Cart. Yeah that's a big call I know but this realisation has come about once I happened to actually look further into what Drupal had to offer.

For the last month or so, I've been adopting the approach of my mail program not actually ruling my life.

Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about :-
• As soon as the computer is turned on, check email
• Email program checks every 5 or 10 minutes
• Inbox emails start to pile up to an unmanageable number
• The email program is one of the main pieces of software in your day to day routine.

Well, that's all changed for me .....

Well, this looks pretty hot.

I'm using a remote Blog posting program called Ecto - typing this blog entry on my Mac desktop without having to pop into the site itself.

Let's see how it looks.
