Now bare with me on this one, this is only going to appeal to those of you who keep fish as pets, like me! With this app you can keep tabs on water quality, ph etc and remind yourself when you need to replace water etc.

My only excuse is that I have been uber busy and have not had the money to keep running BMB. I renewed my hosting and domain name but will not be able to keep up the payments in perpetuity and thats where you come in.

Basically if you need hosting or know anyone else who does, I have secured an amazing deal from justhost. Just click on the banner in the sidebar to the left to see whats on offer at the moment. Everything is unlimited and amazingly priced but more importantly their support is second to none which makes them ideal to those of you who have never had their own host before.

Okay, marketing over, I am now back on it big time and will be flooding more cool apps and mac things your way, as always, mostly free, but always cool.

The new Magic Mouse is a mighty fine bit of kit. Oddly enough, despite only having a couple of gestures enabled, the Magic Mouse is full multi touch enabled.

MagicPrefs enables tons of new features, my favourite being able to assign the apple logo as a button!

Although not as sophisticated as applications such as Roxio’s Toast, Burn is one simple and useful application for making various format discs that is completely free. Isn’t that lovely?

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.
