Great apps, Refresh the finder and a very funny online comic

101-essential-freelancing-resources - which came via Lifehacker. Really great list of applications (browser based & traditional). One which I’m interested in is ActiveCollab - an open source clone of Basecamp (although it’s implemented in PHP, not Ruby + Rails). I’ll be trialling this one out. I do really like Basecamp, but the powers that be wouldn’t go for the monthly cost, and the inability to hack it to better suit us (without creating a wrapper site using the API + our own data).

Refresh the finder - Sometimes, finder (bless it), just won’t freaking refresh the current display of files. This is far more common on network shares mounted via SMB, even SSHFS shares seem to be work ok. Anywho, this allows you to add a refresh button to your finder window.

XKCD, Very funny online comic, if you’re slightly nerdy/geeky (or a lot, in my case..)
