Lucky for me, they clearly state on their website that the images are property of their original artist, so I’m pretty safe. I may have to change the icon and shorten the name of the app to just Companion, but that’s easy enough.

The name has been changed to Companion, and the icon will be changed as soon as it can be.

Also, if any lawyers out there want to stick up for me, feel free.

The full cease and desist is available upon request, Desktoptopia is copyright the Desktoptopia team - I have never once claimed it mine so don’t flip a shit.

So, just to spite these jackasses who set my Desktop Wallpaper to an advertisment for a movie I wrote Companion. You can use Companion to view the list of all the wallpapers, and rescue them or delete them. Check it out in the downloads section, another freebie from me.
Enjoy!]]>admin@theapplegeek.comBlog2008-07-24T22:57:08-04:00http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/409d42bf92e0ed2e8c19372003ad1eb1-60.php#unique-entry-id-60http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/409d42bf92e0ed2e8c19372003ad1eb1-60.php#unique-entry-id-60Back It is going under some major changes, including a name change to help better portray it’s other features. MacDust 3 development is just as slow as ever, though I will still fix up MacDust 2 if anybody finds any more problems.]]>admin@theapplegeek.comBlog2008-07-14T20:43:24-04:00http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/517c7f1a55b1c13b71860887f78c9234-59.php#unique-entry-id-59http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/517c7f1a55b1c13b71860887f78c9234-59.php#unique-entry-id-59Downoading large orders from store.ultrarecords.com can be a pain. Especially for great albums like Freedom to Love and LOL <(^^,)>. Hence my latest creation, Ultra Downloader. This simple tool will start downloads of all of the songs on your order at once by telling your default browser to go to all of them at once.

All you need is your unique order url, not order ID. I’m talking about “http://store.ultrarecords.com/orders/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx” You just enter that into the URL field, and press Scan. Ultra Downloader will then scan the order page for processable downloads. Then you just press Download X Songs, and wait =)

Enjoy this little freeware!]]>admin@theapplegeek.comBlog2008-07-14T14:46:29-04:00http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/9ee055094c3b406a2d90842457a23d38-58.php#unique-entry-id-58http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/9ee055094c3b406a2d90842457a23d38-58.php#unique-entry-id-58I have updated the theme and made this a much better website.
All software downloads are now centrally located on the Downloads page to avoid outdated links.
:)
More soon!]]>admin@theapplegeek.comBlog2008-07-04T15:18:59-04:00http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/2e58dc8ab0be0e2c43a777c2fde026e2-57.php#unique-entry-id-57http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/2e58dc8ab0be0e2c43a777c2fde026e2-57.php#unique-entry-id-57Today, Tomorrow, and Sunday is the AppleGeek Independence Day Special!

I love 1Password.]]>admin@theapplegeek.comBlog2008-06-23T09:30:00-04:00http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/15b86bdb35ecb09514a7a770a1ae13e9-54.php#unique-entry-id-54http://theapplegeek.com/index_files/15b86bdb35ecb09514a7a770a1ae13e9-54.php#unique-entry-id-54Back It is ready! Please note that Steve is a total lazy ass and he did not make the icon for Back It. He sent me the original version of the icon ages ago for a long since dropped project. The original icon can be seen as the standalone restoration app’s icon. I modified the main icon for Back It. Woo - go me.

I’m introducing Back It with a special introductory price of $9.95, get it soon though because the regular value is $14.95! If you buy Back It now you’ll save more than 30% of the price and you may find it useful later, or even now! Plus if there’s a game you have that it doesn’t back up, feel free to email me and I will add it right away!

So go check out Back It now! It’s completely free to try out, and there are no limitations unregistered users will only see a notification when they launch reminding them to support small shareware developers!
