![]() I also really enjoy OS X Services, which has allowed me to reduce the number of items in my dock. Now if I could just find something that would display my daily calendar without opening iCal, I’d be SOOO happy. I also enjoy what’s not in my dock-I use FruitMenu to customize the Apple Menu, F10 Launch for quick, categorical access to other applications, but two tools I find of great use are BuddyPop, which allows me to look up AddressBook items without opening the AddressBook, and PicturePop, which allows me to quickly browse a folder of pictures, without opening iPhoto or someother applications. Outside of that, while I’m not a fan of clutter, I do adore distraction, my desktop image is set to rotate every hour, and the news feeds update every half hour, so when I’m working there’s enough of a distraction to make me smile, then get back to it. Everything that would clutter my desktop goes here, until I actually file it. I keep newsfeeds on my rightside, so most applications don’t cover them, and then I have the Snoopy gang to help me keep my desktop clutter free. I keep the Desktop Folder, Applications, Documents, and Home folders stored here. ![]() Equally as important to me is quick access to folders. I like my dock left mounted, then starting from the top, we have basic productivity, then web/internet work then my utilities/services-Watson, NetNewsWire, StickyBrain, iCal, Address Book, etc. My most frequently used applications are there, unless they can be called by a keystroke. While I find looking at peoples docks great for discovering utilities, and applications, I mostly think my dock is useful but boring. Spring seemingly superedes the VoodooPad app in features (but is much buggy/in development). I’ll probably fork SpamSieve (eg, no icon), and hide launchbar. The best of the new apps look to be Spring, and NetNewsWire. There would be a sixth, Interarchy, however their application is buy-only and has no shareware or freeware edition. ![]() ![]() The items on the new dock, to the right of Virtual PC are NetNewsWire, LaunchBar, SpamSieve, VoodooPad, and Spring. I’ve found many useful utilities (waste, not). The extended items are: my Home folder, Documents, Applications, Microsoft Office X (4 less icons that way), Remote Desktop Connection (the Microsoft one), and a shortcut to Macintosh HD (which I use to get to os9 stuff).Īs an added bonus, I’ve also captured my dock after reading through this page. The items on the dock are: Finder, X-Chat Aqua, Mail, Mozilla Firebird, Safari, iChat, ICQ, BitTorrent, Address Book, iCal, iTunes, DVD Player, iPhoto, Preview, Neverwinter Nights, TextEdit, Calculator, Terminal, FileMaker Pro 6, FileMaker Pro 4 (os9), Heidrun (a hotline client), Remote Desktop (Apple, not Microsoft), Fireworks MX, Adobe Photoshop 7.0, System Preferences, Temperature Monitor, Disk Utility, X11, and Virtual PC. Per peer pressure (Jasmeet), here is my dock. People, y’all need to stop bottling up everything inside and embrace this fine example of pure, unadulterated love as shown here by our host and our guests! Y’all need to understand that this right here is the very excitement that makes life worth living, ya heard? This player don’t care if you’re passionate about universal health care or gettin’ bizee! What matters is that you care about something! And this rapper thinks that a little more caring about shit in this here world wouldn’t be such a bad thing…now would it? Dre that he shouldn’t be illin’ out over this new phat beat he just put together? Do you tell Christopher Lowell to calm the fuck down because those drapes aren’t really all that? Do you tell Kyan the Grooming Guy to chill out about the wonders of the Bliss facial? I didn’t think so, Jones! KOTTKE is alright! Why does there always gotta be a hater in these pleasant threads? “Umm, actually Jason I find this post to be lame.” If this is the case, you ain’t cut out for the dock game, so stop hatin’! For reals!ĭo you go into the studio and tell Dr.
