New hard drive! Hooraj! And the first re-install of OS X in a long, long time.
I backed up most of my home directory but decided to re-install my applications. Why? I don’t know.
Essential applications:
* Quicksilver: my computer felt broken without this.
* uControl: Caps Lock to Control, Enter (to the right of my space bar) to Command, scrollwheel emulation with Function + touchpad.
The uControl installer checks for specific versions of IOHIDFamily. OS X 10.3.6 has version 1.3.5, newer than uControl 1.4.4). Adding it to uControl1.4.4.pkg/Contents/Resources/InstallationCheck fixes the installer.
* Desktop Manager: virtual desktops for OS X.
* BitTorrent
* SSHKeychain
* MPlayerOSX
* Shrook: for RSS and Atom feeds.
* Growl: Little notification bubbles that show stuff like the current song in iTunes.
* MenuCalendarClock: the new version of CalendarClock. There’s a pay version now, but the free version still does everything I want. And now Sundays aren’t red.
Sure, but not an essential one. I didn’t have room for Fink on my old drive, so I’m used to not having it.
grant21 November 2004It turns out MenuCalendarClock doesn’t do everything I want. Displaying entries from iCal is now a registered feature. Damn.

Does fink count as an application?
