Sam’s random musings

BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com is cutting the rate on SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys:

BlogZOT! uses the power of blogs to create value for all Mac users. In today’s example: Each qualified blog entry reduces the price of SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys from $30.00 to $0.00 by $0.05 per entry. For each entry, that’s $166+ given back to the Mac community.

So these guys together “MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software”. That’s crazy talk, this is great software if only for the collaborative editing of code, i use it all the time with friends who are learning to code, they paste a question to a page I leave open and I give hints and guidence on it as they work on a problem. And for taking notes on a conference call it’s the bees knees, it’s practically a reason to buy a mac

Radmind Assistant:

Radmind made easy. Honest!

One of the most under-appreciated utilities on OS X has to be radmind. Anyone with more than a handful of machines that isn’t using this, or any of the commercial alternatives like NetOctopus, FileWave or Casper from JAMF Software, should really sit down and have a long hard think about why they aren’t.

A common, and somewhat justified, complaint with radmind in the past was that it was just too large of a learning curve to get started with. However, with the recent release of Radmind Assistant 1.0 you can set up an entire radmind solution without getting your hands dirty on the CLI.

So stop surfing slashdot for a few minutes and read through the docs on this.
