I have Adium. What's Webkit nightly build? - Tamar Weinberg

there's gotta be at least 3 "what to install on your new mac" posts - Zee. Just Zee.

Skitch. - Cyndy

Growl. - Phil Glockner

It depends on what you are going to do. - Mathew Ballard

have people just forgotten about Quicksilver? Still my most used app by a long way - Zee. Just Zee.

Windows Vista. Oh wait.... - qthrul

Zee, would you rather just roll with what a single blog post says, or hear it from the people who use this stuff daily to do much of the same things you will need to do? :) - ♫ Rahsheen™

If you use Onenote, Evernote is one alternative. - Rodfather

There's this one program that's like Photoshop but I forgot the name. It's 50-60 bucks - Outsanity via fftogo

what do you plan to do with it? we could tell you about all kinds of crap, but will it work for you? - tiffany

Oh, Skitch, too. - Mona N.

Chris Pirillo actually has a blog post on free Mac shit - Outsanity via fftogo

I've seen it, Outsanity. It's got too much stuff. I'm looking for 2-3 recommendations per FFer ;) - Tamar Weinberg

I cover Windows, Zee. Cmon, you know better. :P - Tamar Weinberg

I'm not sure what I'm doing with it yet. Right now, it's a toy to see if I'll be a Mac convert. (I won it in a contest.) I'll probably take it with me to conferences for liveblogging. - Tamar Weinberg

Oh - what FTP app do you use? - Tamar Weinberg

What Mona N said. - Paul W. Swansen

Installing stuff won't make you a convert. You've got to hang in there for a bit to get used to some of the changed usage... but the first thing I'd install - Firefox - Brian Roy

Linux. Oh wait... :P - possible248

Hellotxt.com web based. - Paul W. Swansen

@Rasheehn , have you seen the number of comments lifehacker posts gets...completely demolishes anything we could hand out here! :) - Zee. Just Zee.

I use Panic's Transmit http://panic.com - Adam Turetzky

I use Cyberduck for FTP & Coda for web stuff - Robert DeBord

@Tamar, no no :) I mean what your colleagues have written - Zee. Just Zee.

MS Bob, running on Parallels Desktop. - Josh Haley

The best solution is to get Chris Pirillo's phone #. You already know you can call me any time. We'll play Mac geek phone help. - Louis Gray

Zee, I've bookmarked several posts. I guess my question was more to the effect of "what software do you recommend that you use on a regular basis" versus software that we've blogged about that we've tried (but perhaps do not use consistently). - Tamar Weinberg

Are you looking for mostly free opensource toys or paid tools to do a specific job? Apps "I" use daily - Twitterific, NetNewsWire and Linkinus. - Adam Turetzky

You appear to write blogs, you should check out MarsEdit too. http://www.red-sweater.com/mar... - Adam Turetzky

Transmit, Adium, TextMate, Growl, Quicksilver, iTerm, MacPorts. But it depends on how you use a computer. I'd personally recommend not installing much of anything for a week or two and just learn about what is native to OS X. It's far more capable than a bare Windows install. - ·[▪_▪]·

If you forgive me pimping my blog here, I wrote a post on this topic a year ago http://seanreiser.com/MacSoftw... - Sean Reiser via twhirl

Cool. Self-promotion is fine -- as long as it gives me answers ;) - Tamar Weinberg

Oh... and if you need look at css edit (http://macrabbit.com/cssedit/) I need to update that list - Sean Reiser via twhirl

Fugu for FTP/SSH. And if all you are doing is quickie image editing, Seashore does the job. Open source. You also want NeoOffice. And I vote to leave Growl OFF... I'm still trying to uninstall it. I have much hate for Growl. - Cyndy

@Cyndy all you have to do to remove a preference pane in OS X is control(right)-click on it's icon in System Preferences and a popup will appear under your cursor that says "remove xxxx pane" and that's it. Although I don't know why such hate for growl, it's one of the coolest notifiers. Especially with the iPhonesque but to each their own. :) http://macthemes2.net/forum/vi... - Adam Turetzky

Skitch for image handling, Filezilla for FTP (if you're coming from Windows, you'll feel more comfortable with it). adium if you like IM, Twhirl for Twitter, Firefox for browsing....that should set you up. I'd recommend trying iWork as well instead of Office, nice package. - Duncan Riley

After a lifetime of Windows I recently switched to an 24 inch iMac. It's like when you were a kid and your mom bought the generic brand fruit loops with the retarded bird on the box because it was cheaper.

quicksilver...by far my most used app. - Tim Wright

"We leveraged up and if you have a 20 percent fall in value of a $20 trillion asset, that’s $4 trillion. And when $4 trillion lands — losses land in the wrong part of this economy, it can gum up the whole place.” People should have known better but in some way’s it’s unavoidable with markets: “People should always know better. … I mean people — people don’t get — they don’t get smarter about things that get as basic as greed and you can’t stand to see your neighbor getting rich. You know you’re smarter than he is, and he’s doing these things, you know, and he’s getting rich, and your spouse is getting unhappy with you because you aren’t doing — pretty soon you start doing it. And so you get what I call the natural progression, the three I’s: the innovators, the imitators, and the idiots. And that’s what happens. Everybody just kind of goes along.

it's real Paul, I just drove down a side street in Princeton, NJ and counted 7 M/P signs and 2 O/B. In a college town, in a deep blue state. Sry Paul, I read to quickly. I recently saw some bumper stickers that said "free our oil" that weren't a joke. - Sarah Miller

Disgusting. - Mo Kargas

omfg what is wrong with these oilers - Kyle Weller

Oh....the outrage! Not. - Peter Simard

https://members.premiereintera... - Craig Eddy

"More War for Oil" -- it sounds very much like the sentiment of a Free Republic denizen or Michael Savage fan -- defiantly fascist and in your face, and dead serious. Most "conservatives" these days are completely humorless and fanatically anti-conservative. (I've heard neoconservative McCain supporters call for first-strike nuclear attacks on Muslim and Arab nations.) - Sean McBride

Sent him to war and pray he dies for his country :) - Ryo

The neoconservative (anti-conservative) cult which produced Ann Coulter, Free Republic, Michael Savage, Michelle Malkin, Pat Robertson, John Hagee and Pamela Geller would easily embrace bumper stickers which read "More War for Oil." It sounds very Ann Coulterish. Visit the Media Matters for America website http://mediamatters.org/ for an analysis of many examples of neocon extremist speech and hate speech. Many of these people are agitating furiously to expand the Iraq War to Iran. - Sean McBride

Ann Coulter: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Think she's kidding? Does the Iraq War look like a joke? It's difficult for sane people to understand that neoconservatives are NOT kidding when they make insane statements. They're insane. Irony is a blue state thing, a coastal elites thing. The red state mentality never rises above heavy sarcasm. - Sean McBride

Btw, Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins still doesn't understand the radical distinction between conservatives and neoconservatives. Hopkins is no conservative. - Sean McBride

Seems to echo his promise of war for a hundred years... securing all that oil! - Samuel Buick

If I had a Prius, I would put these bumper stickers on also AS A JOKE. I guess Obama supporters and neoconservatives have the same sense of humor. - Chris White

Chris White - you're making the assumption that Prius owners can't be John McCain supporters. Not true. McCain has a record of aggressive pro-environmentalism. I suppose we could contact the owner of the car via the DMV to discover the true intent behind the stickers. :) - Sean McBride

.Prius owner AND John McCain supporter [instances] * // probably not an empty set - Sean McBride

Sean, read what I wrote. I made no such assumption. - Chris White

Chris - sorry if I misunderstood you. Can you restate your thought? - Sean McBride

it'd definitely going to take me a while to get to a million. I'm publishing about 200 photos to flickr a week right now and at this pace it will take 92 years to get there. I'll get the pace up to 400-500 a week in the future though. Better technology should make processing easier and someday my kids will be grown and I'll be able to quit my day job and focus on this even more. The best photos have yet to be taken. - Thomas Hawk

What's your shot/publish ratio? I mean, on average how many shots do you take to produce those you publish? - Yuval Atzmon

atzmon, I probably average about 2,000 shots a week that I shoot. And I'm probably processing 300 or so of those a week at present, so I'm probably keeping about 15%. The other 85% never get processed and are kept in my archives. I'm trying only to process and publish the shots that I think meet a certain quality criteria. - Thomas Hawk

You upload a lot more than I do. I have about 40,000 pictures but only about 2000 uploaded. Mostly because I have not gotten around to processing more. =) - Jauder Ho via twhirl

Wow and Congrats!! - Vox

Dude, you're a machine. - Zee. Just Zee.

Jauder, the good news is that processing will only get easier in the future. I've watched it get better with each successive Adobe release. Lightroom 2.0 is the best processing tool yet. It's not necessarily faster per se though because with more tools there are yet even more ways to tweak a photo hence even more time. But the tools to speed things up are coming too. auto geotagging, better anti dust tech, faster processing speeds, easier online tools with faster broadband are all around the corner. - Thomas Hawk

16,000 ?? Yikes. Cool number. Congrats. - Charlie Anzman
