Great Mac OS X Software
Yesterday I wanted to get a nice console tool for OS X, similar to Spy on NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP. Basically, Spy will sit there until something is sent to the console, and then pop up for a predetermined time and then disappear again. This allows you to know when a possible error occurred without having the console app from Apple always in your face.
I saw that Spy for OS X 1.0 was out, and that it did a reasonable job, but was missing a few things from the previous incarnation. So I did a
search and found BetterConsole which is almost perfect for what I need.
I found a bug in the font-setting code, sent it in, and the developer agreed that he hadn't looked at this code for a long time, and it didn't work as planned. So he's going to look at fixing it. Excellent!
This makes OS X even better. I can't believe the ease at which I can be as productive on this platform as any I've ever had. Amazing.
