I decided to take advantage of MacSanta and purchased On The Job from Stunt Software. The killer feature that finally sold me was the Idle Time Checker. I walk away from my machine quite often and the ability to remove the idle time is much needed.

Ten years ago today, Apple started off on a new path, sparked by the company’s decision to acquire NeXT. It was a real challenge to sit down and write about this because there are a lot of pieces that just don’t make sense when put into words. Still, I think it’s worth trying because it’s an interesting story.
sIFR is meant to replace short passages of plain browser text with text rendered in your typeface of choice, regardless of whether or not your users have that font installed on their systems. It accomplishes this by using a combination of JavaScript, CSS, and Flash, which renders the font. It degrades gracefully if Flash is not present.
Compared to sIFR 2 the new version is radically different. Backwards compatibility has been broken, but that’s okay since deployment is now ridiculously easy. There’s great control over how the text is rendered inside the Flash movie: you can easily use bold and italics together, or use different colors. There’s support for leading, kerning and opacity, filters, blend modes and anti-aliasing.
