PleaseSleep sits in the background and waits for the sleep timer you set in Energy Saver preferences pane.

PleaseSleep is very easy to configure, you can enable, disable, and access its preferences via the system menu bar icon.

JollysFastVNC is a VNC client which aims to become the best VNC client on the Mac. When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there are enough VNC clients out there to support it. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. Without a proper viewer people can’t access ScreenRecycler in a way I imagined. So I started programming JollysFastVNC to enable people using ScreenRecycler. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client. It’s still in the early stages of development, even though somewhat usable and fast.
Use the applications about box to mail me problem as I do not read the comments here.

WhatsOpen is a quick utility that came out of an MMUG meeting. Someone posed a question regarding how to tell what application has a volume open so they could quit out of it and eject the removable media.
It is a somewhat common error that a file on a removable device is held open by one thing or another and the system will not eject it. This program lists all open files on your system, with an option to filter them, and then allows you to kill the application that has a selected file open. Pretty straight forward but something that a lot of people seemed interested in at the meeting so I whipped one up quickly.
