OSX Software
I’ve found some interesting new apps for OSX:
Fugu: After months of looking for a nice, free Secure FTP client [or one that doesn’t nag the hell out of you while you’re trying it out], Laura linked me to this nice freeware front-end to the SFTP and SCP command-line apps included in OSX.
Celestia: This is a Mac OSX port of Celestia, which is a free real-time planetarium that renders objects in gorgeous 3D. With it, “you can travel throughout the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy. All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across.”
Stellarium: Another astronomy app that shows an earth-based view of the sky, based on your current latitude/longitude.
