nsRemotePasteboard
This freeware application allows you to share the contents of your
Pasteboard
between multiple systems across a network. This allows you to do
a cut/copy on one machine and paste on another one, completely
transparently.
Instructions
nsRemotePasteboard will normally start up and immediately hide
itself.
You will need to click on it's icon in the dock to get to the main
window.
There you will find a list browser that lets you add names of hosts
that
you wish to share your pasteboard with. Once you have added all
of
the hosts you should be able to hide the app. You may wish
to add nsRemotePasteboard to your startup items in System Preferences
so
that you don't have to manually start it each time you log in.
There is also a very minimal security feature that lets you
set a password
that's used for authentication. It probably serves more of an
example
of how to use the DO authentication stuff than it does at providing any
real security. Don't use this app if you plan on having sensitive
data in your pasteboard as there isn't any encryption done of the data
that gets sent across.

nsFreeCell
This is a minor update to my original FreeCellX game. I had
been sitting on this code for about a month trying to decide what to do
with it, but in the end I decided that I didn't really have time to put
serious work into it. However, it may serve as a useful codebase
for others to play around with, so I've decided to release the source
code
as well. In all this code represents about two weeks worth of
development,
and is written completely using the Cocoa APIs (okay, well, there's
some
CoreGraphics stuff thrown in as well).
There still isn't any documentation, but playing is
straightforward
if you are familiar with the rules for Free Cell.
Notable additions over the last release are Undo/Redo support,
improved
scoring, and a few other tweaks here and there.
I hope this proves useful to someone, and don't hesitate to
send me
mail if you have questions about the code.
Update: Version 0.3 fixes the long standing issue
where the cards
wouldn't display on Mac OS X 10.1 and later. A font name changed
and everything stopped working. I also fixed a couple of
exceptions
that happened. My apologies for not getting this update out
sooner.
Note: There's a bug
somewhere in the undo/redo code that can cause cards to go missing
permanently. Sadly, I have not yet taken the time to figure
out exactly where the problem is.
