Old Software
These are the remnents of old software I made back in the OS 9 and early OS X days. It hasn't been touched in years.
- Chromium For Mac (v15)
- This is a fork of Chromium that fixes some issues that bothered me, and made it more consistent with other Mac applications. I quickly stopped updating it, and switched to FireFox.
- MP3 Player for OS 9
- This is a nice app that I made in realBasic that started off as a tutorial in the MacAddict magazine.
- iChat Effects
- These are some iChat effects that I made in my few days of tinkering with Apple's Quartz Composer.
- Magic 8-Ball
- This was a downloadable program, but is now just an on-line only thing. Check it out!
- Free Classic Dockling
- For OS X. This program is a dockling that allows you to control, and view the state of classic without going into system preferences.
- Ascii Table
- This table shows all the character's and their codes in decimal, hex and bin, as well as the html codes. Not really software, just can be handy in that type of situation.
