Finally took a moment to find a solution to sort my bookmarks in Firefox. I found a quick and good solution in
SortPlaces 1.4.0 by Andy Halford. What a relief! All sorted with one click. Thanks Andy!

If you need to test your RAM, Microsoft offer a free tool called windiag. The tool has its own loader, so it works autonomously for Intel or AMD processors, this means it works for Intel Macs or Linux Systems just as well as for Windows machines. You can download the ISO file here, burn a bootable CD and boot your computer from the CD. That's it.

Go here for the German windiag website.

And here's a reminder on how to burn an ISO disc image in Mac OS X:

1. Insert a blank disc.
2. Start Disk Utility.
3. From the File menu, choose Open Disk Image and select the ISO to be burned.
4. In the list of volumes, you will now see an item representing the ISO file. Select it.
5. Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.

Easy Crop is a lightweight drag&drop utility to crop images, supporting various image formats. Drag an image you want to resize/crop into Easy Crop, select the required size and drag the result into the application you want it in, e.g. Ecto or Mail. No steps like saving in between. Nice!
What I use it for most of all, is rotating portrait pictures, this never really seems to work from Preview and many other photo apps...

Especially as a companion for the blogging tool Ecto, Easy Crop comes in very handy. Regarding Ecto this function should be built in really. But it isn't. It is no freeware, but the price I think is OK at $15.00 for a family pack.

A great little freeware app called PearLabelizer does an excellent job where the Address Book isn't quite good enough: Printing all kinds of labels for mailouts.

Eine nette kleine Ergänzung zum Apple Adressbuch, um anständig Etiketten drucken zu können: PearLabelizer.

Hint 1: Add predefined labels like Avery, Zweckform and Herma from the PearLabelizer website. Download and drag & drop the .plld files onto your PearLabelizer preferences window.

Hint 2: Format your font appearance from the keywords in the Address Book tab in the preferences by selecting Keyword e.g. [firstname] and choosing Format from the menu.

Creating ZIP archives on a MAC with the default OS X archiver (ctrl or right-click, create archive) puts files not visible on the MAC (namely .DS_Store and Iconr files) in the ZIP alongside the actual files you want to compress. This looks confusing on the PC and can cause problems with the Windows software for opening / expanding large ZIP files, making the software crash or give out error messages.

So creating ZIP files I want to send to PC / Windows systems I now use a little application called CleanArchiver, - this does the job with drag and drop ease.

CleanArchiver lets you choose what kind of archives you want to make: gzip, bzip2, zip, Disk Image, Stuffit, Stuffit X.
ZIP is the most common method.
