Odds and Ends

This week we have a random bunch of freeware designed to tweak preferences and clean up corruption.

IPMenu

IPMenu is a spiffy little menu item that tells you your current IP address. This is especially handy for people with dynamically assigned IPs. This app includes both your local and external IP.

Return Receipt

Use the “request return receipt” header in your email? Be a pal and use this script to have Entourage do the same for people who email you. This script, which only works for Entourage X, requires Jaguar or later.

Safari2Yahoo

Swap Google search for Yahoo! search with this script. To make the switch the script requires Panther and Safari 1.2.

Check Preference Files and PrefBoy

These two utilities help you review and weed out corrupt preference files. Check Preference Files utilizes a terminal command to get the job done. PrefBoy requires Tcl/TK Aqua, and is a script.

Font Cache Cleaner

While you’re cleaning up corruption on your Mac, spread the fear to your fonts. This utility will clean up your fonts by cleaning up the cache.

Thanks for coming by. Come back next week for more free downloads.
