Carbon Copy Cloner: Clone, Copy and Backup your data…..tasty!

Big Mac Blog — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:25:39 +0000

Carbon Copy Cloner has been around for quite some time now but that has not diminished quite how useful this application can be. Its especially useful for making a completely cloned copy of drive and has got me out of trouble many a time. In its latest iteration it has a simplified interface and really feels like a premium application rather than the freeware that it has always been!

Enjoy.

Dropzone: The Swiss Army Knife of Drag and Drop

Big Mac Blog — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:43:35 +0000

Its only when using a PC I realise how significant drag and drop functionality is on a mac and how it is mostly intuitive. However there are times when I wish things could be simpler. Step in Dropzone.

Basically Dropzone lives in your dock and you set up various locations and send-to actions like uploading to Flickr or an FTP Server. Then it simply awaits your dragging and dropping escapades!

Punakea – Tag your world…

Big Mac Blog — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 22:35:27 +0000

If your like me, a little bit obsessed with everything being in its right place, then you will like this one.

In a nutshell, Punakea is like an alternative to the finder, you can tag items away to your hearts content, pretty much the same way tagging works on wordpress etc or keywords in iPhoto or Aperture. Then you can sort you stuffage by tag. Oh and its free.
