Whats on my Mac

January 20th, 2005

Jackson Miller asks “Whats on your Mac?” Here goes:

MySQL, PHP 4 and PHP 5 as described here. Also, phpMyAdmin. I use a personal version of squid using AdZapper because I have more storage than bandwidth.

Photoshop, Dreamweaver, BBEdit and TextWrangler.

Browsers: Camino, Firefox, iCab, Mozilla, OmniWeb, and Opera. I have a couple different versions of some of these for testing purposes. I use safari for my personal browsing and FireFox for web development.

IM: Adium, ChitChat X, Colloquy, Fire, MSN Messenger, Proteus, and Yahoo Messenger. I think Adium is the best of the bunch, but it doesn’t do everything, so I end up switching between different programs occasionally or running more than one at once.

NetNewsWire. I have 184 subscriptions now. Eagerly awaiting 2.0.

RealPlayer and Windows Media Player, as well as VLC.

Games: Burning Monkey Mahjong, and Snood.

You can find all these and more by searching on Version Tracker.

The best macintosh forum is Macintoshian Achaia at Ars Technica.

    Mmm, looks similar to ours at work, minus games, and the lame Real/Windows Media players (yuk). Oh we stick to PHP4 coz PHP5 is on the Linux box.

    Dreamweaver is a loada pants though, and I can’t bear it. You might want to look at something like TextMate, we use it instead of DreamWeaver / BBEdit. I also like to use jEdit, mainly because I also use Windows and CentOS (Linux), and having something that works both on my Mac and PC is important.

    I like Fire as my IM.

    I would just add Quicksilver to your setup. I wish there was a Windows alternative to it, since that is my platform while at the office. Once you get used to using it, you will never look back.
