New Release: Eject Volume v0.3

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Eject Volume v0.3 is out. As always, you can download it here. Besides the slight redesign, it offers three new features, namely the volume icons, support for network volumes and an “Eject All” button. It’s a major rewrite of the original code, which makes it more modular and faster. The handling of the volumes is now done via a Cocoa widget-plugin that improves speed and makes listing and ejecting of volumes more stable. Have fun with it!

Eject Volume v0.2

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

Today, I’ve released version 0.2 of my Eject Volume dashboard widget for Mac OS X. It’s a bugfix release that fixes some bugs, which I encountered lately. Since its release in February 2009, the version 0.1 of Eject Volume has been downloaded over 10.000 times and was recently even blogged about as useful utility on some other sites. Not bad for two hours of work :-) .

Archiving Thunderbird e-mails

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Looking for a smart way to archive your e-mails from Thunderbird? There are many advices like copy your “/home/(username)/.mozilla/…” directory, which (in my opinion) are not very smart. After googling quite a while, I found a very cool TB extension called SmartSave and it lives up to its name! It needed less than ten seconds to export 1900 mails with a total size of 150 MB. I like it!
