The Hack Show

So the hack contest is over. There were quite a few interesting hacks that I've spotted -- the mind is a bit too fuzzy to remember everything cool I saw, yet some funky highlights:


  • A progress bar that overfloats and the water floods off the right edge of it, filling the entire window. Cool.
  • Ping-pong thingie that runs over screens of networked computers. Inventive.
  • Longhorn-like spinning windows with variable opacity and tracking paths. Ours (ok, actually, just Rosyna's, since I just lurked around).
  • A cartoon about MacHack. Fun.
  • A thingie to arbitrary move the Cocoa controls in a window and even drag them into other windows. Slick.
  • That click-and-a-half Finder thingie to reveal contents quickly. Useful.
  • Probably some others which I don't recall right now.

So we see who wins. There's so many of these fun hacks I'll have problems voting tomorrow, I guess. And I really should stop using the word 'thingie' so often. Blame Rosyna.

PS On a completely unrelated note, my son turned 2 today. Hooray!

Oh, I almost forgot (almost missed it to be honest, that font is teeny-tiny in Safari). Happy Birthday to your son!

I've been hoping that someone who introduce the "double click and 1/2" functionality for OS X.

BTW, have you seen the screenshots of Panther than include "labels" functionality?
