Comment and replies on aMSN:
i like this. Because it can use isight for video chat. Normally, i use adium. :-)
I use aMSN only for the isight feature - usually I much prefer Adium. Any other good messenger programs out there allow the use of iSight?
Only reason I use it is because it can receive MSN's "Offline Messages", and even then it seems horribly slow on my MBP. Adium's still my primary IM program.
Skype does it for me wrt video-chat.
Comment and replies on Gizmo:
Way cooler than Skype.
Did you know that with Gizmo you can get a free area 775 number? You can also get a real phone number anywhere in the world for about $5/month. I outlined how to that here:

good luck getting the "free" calls. you have to be an "active" user to get them, which means purchasing talk time. so how they equate making a purchase to being free is beyond me. just check out their support forums and FAQs.
i love this new gadget with msn and aim (+icq) buddies contact support ... is sooooooo awsom!!! now i have only two chat programs open (skype and gizmo) and i am connected to all of my buddies...
Comment and replies on Tunnel:
Very cool.
Comment and replies on EvoCam:
It's been handy on the odd occasion.
Using this with the IOXperts driver thing and it crashes regularly.
Comment and replies on Nmap:
Best compiled from source without Fink/Darwinports.
Refer to http://x9.ath.cx/blog/#entry060715-235014 to fix the compile errors.
Development has not stopped, it's just been on hold. It's since been resumed.
NmapFE is kinda useless. Although useful to learn with. I should take it and make it support some of the latest options in nmap.
Comment and replies on Remote Desktop Connection:
Occasionally useful.
This is a "must have" application for me at work (Windows networking), however, it's horrible and desperately needs to be updated. I wish the Mac group at Microsoft would push this one out the door, really, really needs an update. You can only open on remote connection at a time, copy and paste is flaky, crashes often and at least 1 out of every 3 times when quitting pulls the "Application Not Responding" trick on me. I hate it but it's needed.
MICROSOFT PLEASE UPDATE THIS APPLICATION!!!!
Personally, I like this app. But there are alternatives now...I'm giving CoRD a try.
No longer using it, switched over to Cord, which is quite an improvement to Microsofts Client.
This is a huge improvement over version 1.0.
Biggest improvements are seamless mouse movements, and the ability to have multiple connections at the same time (with proper support for default preferences).
Just a few issues, mostly small ones.
On the Mac I use Appfresh to look for the most current programs, howerver, this program fails. The Version in the "get info" reports an older program.
Please correctr.
Also the link in the app to provide feedback is broken
Did you notice version 2.0 is around?
Works well enough, but in a typical bone-headed microsoft move you aren't able to save your preferences, so if, like me, you use preferences that aren't default, you have to change them each time you run the app - starting to get on my nerves

Nice, but it seems to lock up very frequently, so I'd use Adium over it any day...
