Jumpcut - multi-clip clipboard tool for OS X
by Victor Agreda, Jr. Apr 11th 2006
Something that blew me
away, back in the day, were the multiple clipboard slots I started using when Office 2000 came out. This blew me away
because, as a mostly Mac user, I was used to the old copy/paste one thing at a time routine. Well Office 2k spoiled me,
because despite efforts like iClip Lite (a
Dashboard widget), I have yet to find a great clipboard tool. But Jumpcut
might fit the bill. It's free, open source, and incredibly easy to use, once you get the hang of it. Copy some text, and
it's stored in Jumpcut's holding tank. Drop down the menu bar icon (or use a hotkey to activate a bezel view), choose
which clip you want to paste, and go paste it. There are some idiosyncrasies, but those are mostly from other apps like
Camino, and how they handle keyboard shortcuts or the clipboard. It's the little things in life that help so much, isn't
it?
With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
