When I watch movies on my TiBook, I like to stream them from the QuickSilver (the TiBook runs much hotter playing a DVD than playing a stream). I use VLC on both machines to do it, and it works fine. But the problem with this approach is that you cannot control VLC on the server from the client (and if you pause the movie from the client, it will continue to play on the server).

See the full article if you want to know how I control VLC on the QuickSilver from the TiBook.

Ondra Cada just released OCSmart Hacks 2.0 which brings full Tiger support.

OCSmart Hacks is a service bundle that adds several features to any Cocoa-based Mac OS X application. These features include:

• The main menu can be popped up anyplace, anytime;
• tear-off menus;
• resizing a window by any edge;
• moving a window by any point inside its frame (not just by its title);
• entering URL links into RTF(D) documents in TextEdit;
• saving any formatted text into HTML;
• even keeping a watch over the current keyboard and reporting when it changes;
• and more.

Great stuff! Check it out: http://www.ocs.cz/OCSmartHacks/

Update: Frontier users, run the following from Terminal if Frontier crashes with OCSH installed:
defaults write com.UserLand.Frontier OCSHDisableHacks 1
