Apple Mail.app plugin list

by Jay Savage Aug 22nd 2006

This one is for the Mac users in the audience. The Apple Mail Plugins and Tools page offers quick links to almost every known plugin for Mail.app. When I stumbled on it the other day, I was amazed at the range of functionality people have added to Mail, especially given the undocumented plugin API. Some of my personal faves, like the all-important GPGMail are featured, as well as some nifty autoresponders and templaters to handle form letters and mailing lists. A word of caution, though: there seems to be a "Hotel California" check-in policy for the list. There are some jewels, but there are also some broken links and apps that don't seem to have been updated since Jaguar.

Also, don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of the page, where the authors have set up an open "wanted" list for Mail functionality. Again, some of the gripes are outdated and have been fixed by Apple, but it still interesting to see all of the suggestions in one place. Hopefully, the Mail team is watching.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
