<hr />
<div><br />
== Info == <br />
<br />
The annual CSE Holiday Party is coming soon:<br />
<br />
'''When''': 6:00 PM on Friday, December 5, 2008.<br />
<br />
'''Where''': Center for Urban Horticulture [http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/northeast.html?NHS]<br />
<br />
'''What to bring''': Food! It's a potluck, so sign up below...<br />
<br />
The department will provide drinks and cups, plates, silverware, etc.<br />
<br />
Guests (friends, family, significant other etc.) are certainly welcome to <br />
attend. If you're bringing something for the potluck, just try to bring <br />
enough to feed you and however many guests you're bringing.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Directions ===<br />
<br />
The Center for Urban Horticulture is a quick drive / bus ride / walk east of campus. You can find it on the UW campus map at:<br />
<br />
http://www.washington.edu/home/maps/northeast.html?NHS<br />
<br />
Find it on Google at:<br />
<br />
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=47.658069285726796+-122.29019165039062&sll=47.669799,-122.289434&sspn=0.009132,0.021436&ie=UTF8&ll=47.658158,-122.290063&spn=0.001142,0.00268&t=h&z=19<br />
<br />
There is plenty of parking on site, but it goes without saying that I think you should ride a bus ;) Routes 75 and 65 from campus go pretty much right there.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Potluck Sign-Up ==<br />
<br />
To sign up, just add your name to the wiki. When signing up please try to keep the selection balanced, so that we do not end up with 50 desserts and no main dishes.<br />

<hr />
<div>This list are the applications that most use in CSE. We try to focus on applications that are free, inexpensive and open source. If such applications don't exist, we list the best piece of software in that category. If you want a specific piece of software, try [http://www.macupdate.com MacUpdate] and [http://www.versiontracker.com VersionTracker]. You can also send your question to the [https://mailman.cs.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/mac-users mailing list].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Text</b><br><br />
[http://macromates.com/ TextMate] is a brilliant general purpose text editor while others prefer [http://www.barebones.com/ BBEdit]. [http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ SubEthaEdit] is a novel collaborative text editor that some use. If you can't afford the above, [http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/ TextWrangler] is a mini-BBedit that's good. Vi users can try [http://macvim.org/OSX/index.php Vim] and Emacs users can try [http://www.porkrind.org/emacs/ Carbon Emacs]. <br />
<br />
As far as IDE's go, [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/ Xcode] and [http://www.eclipse.org/ Eclipse] are good and free options.<br />
<br />
For creating Tex documents, try [http://macromates.com/ TextMate] or [http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html TeXShop]. If you need to embed equations in documents, [http://ktd.club.fr/programmation/latexit_en.php LaTeXiT] is your best option.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Graphics</b><br><br />
For creating posters, graphs and other vector based images, [http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/ OmniGraffle] is the standard but is expensive. For more free form work, try [http://www.inkscape.org/ Inkscape], which is an Illustrator clone.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Productivity</b><br><br />
[http://www.neooffice.org/ NeoOffice] is a Mac friendly version of the free [http://www.openoffice.org/ OpenOffice]. You can use your site or personal license for [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/office2004.aspx?pid=office2004 Office 2004]. Apple also has [http://www.apple.com/iwork/keynote/ Keynote] for presentations and [http://www.apple.com/iwork/pages/ Pages] which may or may not come with your machine.<br />
<br />
Note taking can be done with [http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/product/mori Mori], [http://www.barebones.com/products/yojimbo/ Yojimbo], [http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/ OmniOutliner]. For quick and free notes try, [http://homepage.mac.com/stewart.hector/home/software/software.html Notepad Widget] or your favorite text editor.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Browsing</b><br><br />
[http://www.caminobrowser.org Camino] is based on the Mozilla rendering engine, but unlike Firefox it is "Mac-y" in nature. It uses Keychain, OS X elements, etc. You can find optimized versions on [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=12 MozillaZine] and extensions at [http://pimpmycamino.com PimpMyCamino].<br />
<br />
[http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/safari/ Safari] is the standard OS X browser. [http://webkit.org/ WebKit] is Apple's open source (and often faster) browser engine. Find extensions at [http://pimpmycamino.com PimpMySafari].<br />
<br />
[http://www.firefox.com/ Firefox], is a cross-platform browser, but there are [http://www.beatnikpad.com/firefox processor optimized] versions available. Find extensions at [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/ Mozilla AddOns].<br />
<br />
If your using, Camino or Firefox, you'll note that you don't by default have the ability to render PDFs in the browser. If you're running on an Intel mac, you're up a creek without a paddle, switch to Safari if you really need it. If you're using a PowerPC mac then you can download [http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ PDF Browser], which basically puts Preview.app into the browsers.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Chat</b><br><br />
Most people use [http://www.adiumx.com Adium] (based on Gaim but pretty) because it's [http://www.ksuther.com/chax/ customizable] and allows for all the chat protocols in one client. It has medicore file transfer support so some prefer [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ichat/ iChat] paired with [http://www.ksuther.com/chax/ Chax]. <br />
<br />
For VoIP, [http://www.skype.com/ Skype] and [http://www.gizmoproject.com/ GizmoProject] have Mac clients. For those still on IRC, try [http://colloquy.info/ Colloquy].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Mail</b><br><br />
You can use [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/mail/ Mail], [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird] or [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2004/entourage2004.aspx?pid=entourage2004 Entourage]. Mail tends to be more popular because it's easy and simple. Entourage tends to be the reverse of Mail, and Thunderbird sits in the middle. If you use Mail, try [http://c-command.com/spamsieve/ SpamSieve] or it's free counterpart [http://junkmatcher.sourceforge.net/Home/index.html JunkMatcher] for better filtering. Use [http://harnly.net/software/letterbox/ LetterBox] to get three column layouts.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Calendar</b><br><br />
You can use [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/ical/ iCal] or [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2004/entourage2004.aspx?pid=entourage2004 Entourage]. iCal tends to be more popular because it's easy and simple. Entourage tends to be the reverse of iCal but has better Exchange server support.<br />
<br />
<br><b>RSS</b><br><br />
[http://vienna-rss.sourceforge.net/vienna21.php Vienna] is an open-source client that works well. [http://www.newsgator.com/NGOLProduct.aspx?ProdID=NetNewsWire NetNewsWire] (both pro and lite) are pretty good too.<br />
<br />
<br><b>PDF</b><br><br />
[http://pdfview.sourceforge.net/ PDFView] is vastly superior to Apple's [http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/pdf/ Preview]. Also, take a look at [http://www.yepthat.com/ yep] which is like iPhoto for your documents.<br />
<br />
<br><b>File Transfer</b><br><br />
For FTP/SFTP, [http://cyberduck.ch/ Cyberduck] and [http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/ Fugu] are nice and free, while [http://www.panic.com/transmit/ Transmit] is nicer and not free. [http://www.fetchsoftworks.com/ Fetch] works and is free for students.<br />
<br />
For torrents, try [http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Intel_Macs Azureus] if you need lots of functionality and plugs-ins. For more Mac-centric clients, [http://sarwat.net/bittorrent/ Tomato Torrent], [http://transmission.m0k.org/ Transmission] and [http://www.xtorrentp2p.com/ XTorrent] are all brilliant.<br />
<br />
For general downloading, there is [http://www.yazsoft.com/ Speed Download] which is elegant and [http://www.igetter.net/ iGetter] which works.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Music</b><br><br />
For listening to music, [http://www.apple.com/itunes/ iTunes] is the standard and you can get some useful [http://www.dougscripts.com/ scripts]. There are also [http://www.chaoticsoftware.com/ProductPages/MediaRage.html Media Rage] or [http://jay.tuley.name/pages/software#ieatbrainz IEatBrainz] (old) for tag management, [http://nclasssoftware.com/index.php/nClassSoftware/corripio/ Corripio] or [http://www.widget-foundry.com/widgets/amazonart.htm Amazon Album Art widget] for artwork management. If you switch music libraries often, try [http://homepage.mac.com/sroy/libra/ Libra]. <br />
<br />
For making music, [http://www.apple.com/ilife/garageband/ Garageband] is pretty good if you don't want any "pro" apps. Audio editing can be done with either [http://www.hairersoft.com/Amadeus.html Amadeus] or [http://www.freeverse.com/soundstudio/ SoundStudio]. You can also try [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Video</b><br><br />
As far as playing video, [http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mac.html QuickTime] paired with [http://perian.org/ Perian] and [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx Flip4Mac] is a really powerful combination. You can also use [http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ VLC], or [http://mplayerosx.sourceforge.net/ MPlayer].<br />
<br />
For making videos, you can pick your choice of [http://www.apple.com/finalcut/ iMovie HD, Final Cut Express HD, and Final Cut Studio]. Which one you pick depends on what you want to do (and spend).<br />
<br />
<br><b>Burning Software</b><br><br />
OS X has built-in [http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/burn/ disk burning], but most find [http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/titanium/overview.html Toast] much better. [http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/ Burn] is a free alternative.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Photos</b><br><br />
[http://www.apple.com/ilife/iphoto/iPhoto iPhoto] which is simple and [http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family.html Photoshop] which is complex are at the two ends of the spectrum. You can also try [http://www.lemkesoft.com/en/graphcon.htm GraphicConverter] which sits neatly in the middle, or [http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ Gimp.app].<br />
<br />
<br><b>Navigation</b><br><br />
It's hard to explain these apps, but they sit between using a command line and using a gui. [http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html LaunchBar] gets you instant access to apps, documents, search engines, etc. It's extremely quick, stable and has limited features. [http://blacktree.com/apps/quicksilver/ Quicksilver] is a similar open source application, but with slightly less stability and a ton more features. <br />
<br />
<br><b>Notification</b><br><br />
[http://growl.info/ Growl] allows applications that support Growl to send you notifications. A lot of applications use Growl and it's generally a useful thing to have installed. It essentially replaces (and largely outdoes) the unified windows notification system that windows users are used to having pop up from the system tray.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Backup</b><br><br />
[http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html SuperDuper] makes a bootable image of your hard drive. [http://www.econtechnologies.com/site/Pages/ChronoSync/chrono_overview.html Chronosync] makes versioned incremental backups of any folder you specify.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Utilities</b><br><br />
[http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html OnyX] helps you run system maintenance tasks and configure hidden parameters. [http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack AppleJack] is a similar utility which runs in single user mode.<br />
<br />
<br><b>Remote Desktop</b><br><br />
Intel Users should try [http://cord.sourceforge.net CoRD] and PowerPC users should try [http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/misc/rdc_update_103.xml&secid=80&ssid=10&flgnosysreq=True Microsoft RDC]. You can also install rdesktop in [http://rdesktop.darwinports.com/ darwinports] or [http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/rdesktop fink].<br />
<br />
[http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/ Chicken of the VNC] is the standard VNC client and there is also a nice [http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-macosx.php NX] client. <br />
<br />
<br><b>Running Windows</b><Br><br />
You can try virtualization ([http://www.parallels.com/ Parallels], [http://www.vmware.com/mac VMWare]), native install ([http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/ BootCamp]) or a hybrid ([http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/ CrossOver]). If you do a lot of hardware or graphics intensive work, you want to use Windows natively. If you need a full fledged Windows install try virtualization. If you only have one app and it's supported by Crossover, then use that.<br />
