Some time has passed since my last post. The reason for that was the first project I was involved at Day. But now I will continue with generating some content. First I will tell you about 2 nice tools. As you maybe know, I like the Mac OS X platform for development. Not only because of the nice look&feel, but also because of tools like spotlight and quicksilver which have changed the way I organize and my data and programs. Honestly I do not really organize it since I use a Mac, because the tools do recurring tasks like finding a document or opening a program without any structure.
Beside my Mac I alo have a Window PC. I think it is good to have more one platform for development and testing (and I also enjoy some Windows games in the evening), but I'm really missing some of the cool Mac tools when I work with my Windows PC. Thus I started looking around and found 2 cool tools for Windows. The first is launchy, which provides a quicksilver like application launcher or Windows. It still misses some advanced features like searching address book entries as quicksilver does. But it provides fast launching of application by only using the keyboard as I like it from my Mac and the set of features may grow soon, because it is open source ;-)
The second tool is Aqua Dock that provides an OS X style dock for Windows systems and can help to organize your desktop the Mac way.
OK, obviously these tools do not look as nice as the Mac versions, but usability matters and they can improve your Windows experience and performance.
