JellyfiSSH

Download

JellyfiSSH is a GUI frontend to the ssh utility. In the Terminal, ssh allows you to connect to and operate other computers. With JellyfiSSH you don’t need to memorize all the command line options; you can choose them within JellyfiSSH and then launch a Terminal session. With JellyfiSSH you can also create ssh tunnels. A couple of uses of ssh tunnels are to relay mail through your server even if your hotel network blocks outgoing mail and to control another computer with VNC over a secure, encrypted channel.

Skype

Download

With the motto “The whole world can talk for free,” Skype brings internet telephony to the masses. Perhaps you already use iChat (free with every Mac computer) to hold audio chats with other Mac users. Skype builds on this by letting you chat for free with any Skype user, whether on Mac, Windows, or Linux. You can plug in headphones and use your Powerbook’s built-in microphone, for instance, or plug in a separate microphone or headset.

While several services allow you to hold audio chats (iChat, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, etc.), Skype also allows you to make inexpensive calls to regular landline and mobile phones. For about $.02 you can call anywhere in the U.S. Their international rates are excellent too. I’ve used Skype to call Brazil for about $.04 a minute.

Skype is a great way to communicate!

TimeMachineScheduler

Download

In Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Apple has introduced Time Machine, a very convenient way to make backups.Unfortunately the backup interval is preset constantly to one hour. Apple uses an launchd daemon to control the timing, but changing the interval value in the launchd.plist file has no effect. TimeMachineScheduler disables the automatic backup function of Time Machine and installs its own launchd agent. As the agent is located in the main library, the administrator password is required for all (writing) operations.

Service Scrubber

Download

Here’s a brand new app that solves a long time problem: the cluttered Services menu. As you know, under every app’s main menu there are “Services” — tasks that can be performed by other apps — but that menu fills up so quickly that it becomes a bother to wade through it. Service Scrubber lets you disable any services you don’t use. I was really glad to find this. This was created by Peter Maurer on a suggestion from Rob Griffiths.
