AquaticPrime is a “secure registration method for your shareware applications, released as free open-source software”.
AquaticPrime uses “RSA encryption to provide excellent security - the same that is used to protect government documents”. This makes it sound like AquaticPrime is a great solution for Software Developers wanting to prevent piracy by adopting a software licensing scheme. [...]

I have thousands of Mac OS X url clippings files on my mac. These little files are reported by the finder as “Web Internet Location” files. They’re sometimes known as “weblocs” (due to their file extension) and look like this:
The reason I have so many of these things is that I switch browsers relatively [...]

I’ve just updated mdfind2. The most important change is that it is now a universal binary. I’ve also improved the command-line parsing (it now uses getopt_long) and prints usage information on error.

WordPressTool downloads all postings into plain text files (one per posting). You can then treat your postings as regular text files: grep through them, perform global search and replaces, and so on. You can [...]

I recently migrated this blog from ExpressionEngine to WordPress. This was rather a daunting proposition due to the none existence of tools for doing this. The best I could really hope for was publishing all my content as a large RSS feed and then importing this feed. Doing this would have meant I would have [...]

Today I’m announcing some code that has actually been on my public subversion repository for some time. The Spotlight Importer Collection is a set of three Spotlight Importers.
The first importer is “Toxic Configuration Importer”. This imports most plain-text based unix config files and Mac OS X plist files.
The second importer is “Toxic Logfile Importer”. This [...]

WebNoteHappy is my new favourite bookmark manager. Unfortunately version 1.0 doesn’t import OmniWeb (a browser for which I have had a tempestuous on again/off again love affair for several years). I happen to know that forthcoming versions of WebNoteHappy will support OmniWeb amongst other browser but I am all about instant-gratification.

If you’re viewing this entry in a browser you’ll have noticed a new look for toxicsoftware.com. Not satisfied with just changing the look I’ve switched weblog software from Expression Engine to WordPress. And to complete the trifecta I’ve changed hosts from Loopshot to Dreamhost.
I am sure there will be some problems during this change-over. For [...]

Andrew Stone released Videator today. I haven’t really played with it much, but it is like Imaginator but for video. It is a lot like my Core Video Funhouse and Toxic Media projects. Of course my projects were just that - projects, Andrew has made a fully fledged product. I’m actually surprised it took so [...]
