Get it Together
This week we have some odds and ends that will help you tie up loose ends.
This multi-purpose utility gives you a GUI to all kinds of OS X maintenance tasks including cleaning caches, running cron jobs and creating invisible files. This app comes in Panther and Jaguar flavors.
Zip, gzip and tar files to your heart’s content. Oddly enough, Cocoazip doesn’t untar or unzip, but I suppose there are other utilities for that.
Love Mozilla Firefox, but not so much the windows-looking submit buttons and drop-downs? Swap your widgets for sleeker ones with Firefoxy (shown above).
Here’s a nice extra for those of you who’d like to access your addresses from the web. WebAddressBook uses PHP and MySQL to provide password-protected access to your contacts. This server based system easily imports group vCards exported from OS X’s Address Book.
I think we found something for everybody in this mix. Until next week, have fun!

Over the last few days, I’ve noticed a few QuickLook plugins popping up and I thought I would link you to a few of them.
