Re: OT: OSX tweaks

Thanks a bunch Flash: I bought MainMenu Pro and am trying
out Little Snitch.

Harry,


Ah, Lucida Grande. I changed my default some time ago and could not

recall what the box-standard had been.


While we're OT on OSX, you might also get some use of "Main Menu
Pro" from


http://incrediblebee.com/; eudora="autourl">http://incrediblebee.com/


Not freeware, but well worth the price. It does some useful
housekeeping

chores, such as cache flushing, index rebuilding, temp-file removal,
and

so on.


For essential security I recommend "Little Snitch" available
from


http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html; eudora="autourl">http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html


which compliments whatever firewall you have (whether OSX onboard

firewall, or a router). Firewalls only stop things getting in;
Little

Snitch stops things getting out (e.g., stops your address book from

uploading itself to Facebook, Twitter, google analytics, and the
NSA).
