MacHeist - 12 apps bundled

As usual, MacHeist bundles a bunch of mac softwares and sells in US$49. Candidates this time is not attractive though IMO, except one which is the Overflow.

Overflow is an application designed to quickly launch applications, open documents, or access folders while reducing the number of items needed in your Dock. Anything you want can be added to the Overflow interface, making it accessible through a few simple mouse clicks or keystrokes.

It reminds me that OSX doesn’t categorize applications by default. You may manually add them to different folders but is that too stupid? and Overflow has provided a more flexible and usable interface for managing ad-hoc groups, with things more than applications. Quite nice to have, especially for those people who do not use QuickSilver.

Finally, back to life again after 3 years.

Foreseeing the next 10 years would be exciting in my life, I want to put down my ideas and experiences somewhere. I need a place again.

As I just want to start the web site with minimal effort, the alpha version contains only a blog, and a default look-and-feel modified a bit on the theme :p. Thanks to WordPress, which Iet me bring up the site in minutes. It is now being hosted on Amazon EC2.

Say hello to everyone.
