Control Mac OS X Services
For a time I was looking a way to start/stop services (daemons) in Mac OS X, I even think about making one, but I found a programmer who already made one, and a very good one.
So, if you are a little extremist (like me) and what to start or stop services at your will, you need this program:

11.26.08Network Load Balancing in Mac OSX ?
I’m currently in a personal project in implementing network load balancing in Mac OSX, in my google-investigation I couldn’t find any native solutions, anybody had tried something like this?
I was starting to think about porting some solutions of freebsd, but I don’t think I had enough knowledge to do this, as a matter of fact, I don’t even know how they do it in freeBSD.
I’m starting to investigate pfsense, I think its a good candidate for 2 reasons, 1. it’s based in freeBSD (like Mac OS X), and 2. I’m a former user, and I think its very stable and functional, you should consider it if you need a gateway.
What do you think, Anybody had tried this? Anybody interested? any ideas ?

Exploring Mac Partitions(HFS+) from Windows
A good friend and I were trying to transfer a very large file to his computer, I only had hfs+ external hard drives, so we found this useful program, it works, not talking about mounting a partition, but enough to transfer the files
The software claims it can read HFS, HFS+ and HFSX, but I only test the HFS+… so tell me if someone has this working with a HFSX..
check it out:
Listen FLAC, SHN in Mac OS X… without messing with iTunes
If you want to listen to “exotic” (such as FLAC, SHN or even MP3) audio formats in a mac, you can use Cog, it’s an open source audio player…
It might not be pretty, or have visualizers, or transcoding, but its fast and simple, I commonly use it to “test” the audio I got from concerts to later get them to my ipod.
You can have it here:
