ApplePi-Baker has been updated again.
This version addresses a potential issue with restoring large SD cards (sync kernel buffers), and compression when making backups of larger SD Cards.
The mechanism to “eject” and SD card has internally been revamped as well. Additional, the option “Auto Eject after Restore” has been implemented.
To show that ApplePi-Baker is still working, a small indicator has been placed in the upper right corner of the window.
Additionally the status refreshrate has been increased.

ConnectMeNow, a small application for Mac OS X to quickly mount network shares, has been updated to version 1.7.
In this version a few things have been changed, like the SSH icon, so it’s easier to distinguish in the dropdown menu.
Support for NFS has been added – but has not been tested (I do not have a NFS share available to test).
Additionally Wake On Lan has been implemented, including support for a custom port number (default is 9) and retrieving the MAC Address automatically (for this the “server” needs to be powered on, connected, and in the local network). With that I’ve add a “timer” that will wait x seconds before mounting a volume that has been woken up with Wake On Lan.
For download of the latest version, please read the original article (Quickly connect Network shares on a Mac with ConnectMeNow), where you can also ask questions or report issues. Or … find the application on our Downloads Page.
As of today, version 1.6 of Name My TV Series has become available for Windows, MacOSX and Linux (32- and 64-bit).
This release fixes a bug with the “%S1” parameter, and adds an AirDate field (%AD) which can be used in filenames. Additionally, the file created/modified date can be set to the first air date as well.
Further more, “EPGuide” has been removed as a source, since TheTVDB usually provides better information, and “EPGuide” has proven to be unreliable when it comes to parsing data.

ConnectMeNow, a small application for Mac OS X to quickly mount network shares, has been updated to version 1.6.
In this version I have added the requirement to enter an admin password to reveal passwords.
This way the tool can be used on machines used by users who should not see the actual password in a safe manner.
Additionally, even though the implementation of SSH isn’t the best, I’ve increased the time-out for waiting for login information request by the server. Initially this was 1 second and has now been increased to 2 seconds. The 1 second wait worked just fine, however, slower servers, like a server outside of your home or business network, might take too long to respond. In those cases a higher time-out value proved easier to work with.
With the help of Whistle Master, I’ve been able to add WebDAV support as well.
A minor bug when entering the server alias name has been resolved as well.
And finally, you might have noticed it already, I’ve changed the App icon.

Even though “MovieScanner” isn’t the most awesome program out there, I still use it every now and then.
In this minor update I’ve added drag and drop capability, for files and/or folders, so the scan will be limited to what you’ve dropped on the application. For Linux users, a small snag with the SQLite library should be resolved in this version as well.
This version is available for Windows, MacOS X and Linux (for Linux: only 64 bit version).
For more information, check out the original MovieScanner article.
We found a few minor bug in v1.1, so here a new version of AVI FourCC Fix!
The two bugs are the “You didn’t add files” message, even though files were added, and handling special characters (especially under Windows). Additionally error messages have been added for when I file could not be opened, and after patching a summary will be displayed showing you how many files actually have been patched.
Read the “FourCC Changer” and the “Playback or Conversion of QNAP Surveillance Video Recordings” articles for more details and download. Of course: You can find the file(s) also on the Downloads Page.
There is a new version available of ConnectMeNow … version 1.51.
In this version I’ve added the option to not show an error message when a network cannot be found.
Thanks to Wolfgang for the idea! 
You can now have ConnectMeNow detect for a network, optionally retry detection after X seconds (for connections that establish slow), and optionally not show an error message about a missing network.

ApplePi-Baker has been updated again.
This version addresses a bug with the detection of SD cards, and the reduction of the file size of the application (about 30% smaller than previous versions).

Yet another update for ConnectMeNow …
Due to encrypted data in the config file causing potential issues, ConnectMeNow has now a new configuration format.
At first start it will try to convert you old configuration file to the new format. If you see an error message: Close ConnectMeNow, Delete the config file, and restart ConnectMeNow. Unfortunately, in that case you’d need to re-enter your servers – our apologies for the inconvenience.
Additionally, I’ve managed to reduce the binary size by about 40% …

It has been quite a while … but here it finally is, the new version of AVI FourCC Fix!
The changes have not been dramatically, but a few cosmetic changes, a few minor bug fixes and the direct support for the newer “q264” format by QNAP made it worthwhile doing it.
Note that clicking the QNAP fix buttons will now right away select the right codec FourCC’s and apply them.
For Mac users: Drag and drop on the main form now works too.
