I dropped FTP and SFTP a couple weeks ago after my friend convinced me to try SCP, maybe you want to check that out... For a VCS system, I currently use Subversion but actually moving to Git (on which I will have a post coming soon). Finally, for ZendStudio, I have 3 licenses (each of the macs) but decided to move away from it because of its complexity that I never actually use. TextMate is my IDE and main text editor of choice now, maybe you should try it out.</p> @Abba: thanks for dropping by!

I have to say, the switch was far less painful than I expected as well. I also reccomend Fugu ( sftp client ) and Versions ( svn client - in beta ) both of which I use regularly now.

Zend Studio ( if you have the quid for it ) runs very nicely on my mac also.

It's very speedy indeed!</p> hiya. think you’d get use of the jolys fast vnc app - when used with leopard screen sharing , you can basically have a screenless mac mini or whatever and just fire up jollys on your other Mac and control it from there.

Thanks for dropping by.

I forgot to add Colloquy which I already use - heard a lot about Quicksilver, haven’t tried it yet.

Will be reading about Reggy and Graphic Converter but for SFTP, I try to avoid having to deal with another application when developing. So the TextMate bundle takes care of SCP, otherwise I am directly on the machine.

I have a MAc mini core2duo and it runs 2 screens fine, likewise my old ibook G4 which I span (using a hack) to a 19" monitor, it never seems slow (for photoshop - thats the most intensive thing I use). </p> <p>Didnt know the Pro had no wireless! Thats weird, indeed! Apple really charge a lot for those towers, they are mighty cases and design though. I have a Quicksilver 2001 that is still working fine as a 10.4 install, very nippy even now for developing on etc. </p> <p>I would add for Leopard apps, QuickSilver - once you have used it you wont go back, CocoaMySQL which works nicely with Cake for the db (look out for a new app called Shift based on it) .</p> <p>VLC for watching all video stuff etc. Free RSS reader which is great is Net News Wire Lite, also check out apps like Reggy for regular expression live testing, Graphic Converter for basic image editing (usfeul for web images); Transmit for SFTP is amazing and worth the money, likewise Unison if you use Usenet. Colloquy for chatting to other Cakers on IRC...cant think of any more now but there is some good bundles for Text MAte too - I recommedn the Sunburst theme and Inconsolata font for the look of it.</p> <p>laters!</p> <p>Luke aka boobyWomack</p> Hiya, nice setup!
