It’s been a long time since we haven’t release Brurry icons —a rounded square icon for Mac that resembles iPhone’s icon. Okay enough the yada-yada. Today we create Echofon (Twitter for Mac) and Google Chrome icons that you can download for free.

Not all folks use these apps on their Mac, so we decide to separate them in each set:

Echofon
Google Chrome

Wish you very merry Christmas and prosperous New Year 2010! yay!

I know that Canonian like you are dreaming for a full-frame, better noise control, higher ISO, larger buffer, and blahblah body camera. May the icon below would live your dream from the desktop to your hand. Icon bless you..

Ameeen!

Hey where the download link?!
.

Okay here is the latest lens icon from me. Actually this is a request from someone at MacThemes forum and I don’t have it anyway. But I have 135mm F2L which has similar build quality as this lens. So I can draw and feel the grip :D

Download

Please refer to the Readme file inside for further info about its usage.
Cheers!

As my previous posts, I’m still loving famous rounded-square icon style. Therefore, revamping all of my app icons to match the iPhone-alike icon is a must for myself.

Go download it then. It just a crop-and-paste job from the original icon into the Brurry template that I already made. So the credit goes to its original author.

I will create and upload the other brurrified apps, so place your bookmark here and check back often.

This is my awesome, bulky, and most rarely used lens. Walking anywhere with this lens is really uncool. It grabs too much attentions, especially when visited a small village. They thought I was bringing a weapon of mass destructions to kidnap their children and exploit the young girls photos to Peter North and lolita touting sites. Huh…

So, why don’t try to make it small?
Haha true! Here we go.. Canon EF 70-200 F2.8L IS USM Free icon for Mac OS X.

You can use the icon to replace iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, or even put on your photography portfolio for FREE. Please take a look at the Readme file inside for further info.

Here we go.. square-rounded a.k.a iPhone-alike version for the most popular and free torrent client for Mac, Transmission.

Info:
You need to replace original Transmission.icns which located at Contents > Resources folder inside the app (right click, choose Show Package Contents).

Otherwise, it will show the original icon at pause and quit state.

Bonus!
Netscape Navigator got brurrified too. Cheers!

As usual, upgrading an OS require you to reconfigure the previous installed services such as MySQL, PHP, and Apache.

There is a 64-bit version of MySQL 5.1 that you can use on Snow Leopard. Although it was designed for Leopard, you can deploy it without any hassles.

However the .pkg installer contains only 32-bit version of MySQL Preference Pane menu. Installing it will reopen the System Preferences into compatibility mode and sometimes it will bothering you.

Thanks to the people at Swoon.net that already made 64-bit MySQL prefPane. Grab it and you’re good to go.

Don’t forget to rename the php.ini.default file located in /etc/ directory to php.ini. Then, alter some lines below to be able linking PHP to the MySQL socket:

mysql.default_socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock
mysqli.default_socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Change to:
mysql.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
mysqli.default_socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

If you are new to the Mac, launch Terminal.app from Applications/Utilities folder. Then type commands below to alter the file as instructed above:

cd /etc/
sudo mv php.ini.default php.ini
(you will need to enter password)
sudo nano php.ini

Scroll down using arrow key and find the mysql.default.socket line above.

To save the current changes, press control+x and type ‘y’ then enter key to proceed.

By default, Snow Leopard has built-in PHP 5.3.0. To activating it, edit the httpd.conf file located in /etc/apache2/ directory and remove the commented line below:

#LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Change to:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so

Save it.

Now start your MySQL and Web Sharing from System Preferences.

I have tried so many invoicing and billing apps for Mac OS X, both online web services and standalone apps. But none offers me a shop approach as NCH Software’s Express Invoice did.

Express Invoice available completely as a FREE software without need to register or an Internet connection. So you can bring your ‘cashier employee’ anywhere on your MacBook to keep tracking your business cashflow.

The software is excellent. It has everything you need for invoicing things. From making quotations, orders, managing items, clients, inventories, reporting, network backup, payment, send mail, up to Web Access feature if you decide to install it on a server.

I have been using it for months and runs smoothly on Snow Leopard now. No crash or unexpectedly quit history was recorded for this app. NCH Software are brilliant. This Australian-based software developer also creating many freeware for both Mac and Windows that you should take a look.

I recently discovered that some important app’s icon in Snow Leopard such as Safari, QuickTime X, System Preferences, Time Machine, TextEdit, Stickies, etc. are cannot replaced using CandyBar or ‘Get Info + Paste’ method.

Mine is Mac OS X 10.6.1 with latest CandyBar 3.2.1 installed.
It just crashed when I click Apply & Logout button.

So I try the trick below and it works like a charm.

• Open the Get Info pane on selected app.
• Scroll down and open the padlock, then enter your password.
• On the Permission box, place your name using + button.
• Then, grant yourself a Read & Write privilege access.
  Click the gear icon at the bottom and choose ‘Make .. as the owner’.
• Now you can do the Paste over the icon placement on top of Get Info pane.
• Don’t forget to revert the Permission & Privilege access starting from clicking ‘Revert’ from the gear icon and so on. Lock it and you’re done!
