Do you always have a lot of things to do but you end up forgetting them? It happens to me all the time. For several times I tried to find a little tool that could help me organize my tasks list.

When I had a mac for the first time and saw Calendar, I thought! This is gona help me organize my tasks and appointments. I started writing my todo but after a couple day I had already lost Calendar in my head somewhere.

A couple of days ago I found Check Off, a small Mac OSX app that runs next to the clock and its always available for you to check your tasks!

I finally found something really simple to use and not to forget! :P

You can download it for free from Seconds Gear software website here

Finally, my hackintosh rules!

I love Mac OSX, it mixes the Linux power with the beautiness of Apple design and usability! I have a nice machine and I wanted for so long to have a nice desktop computer at my hands.

It happens that when I first bought the computer, I had to install Vista on it, as I was working on a WPF project. After the install the performance was nice, but nothing awesome, but after a few programs installations and general use the performance dropped considerably.

I decided to try OSX86 on it. I got iPC 10.5.6 and installed. It installed and the performance was great but I hadn’t a Nvidia graphics card, so I needed to find one.

I got from ebay a 7300 GT card, and yesterday when it arrived, the first thing to was change the card and try to install the drivers. Guess what! My hackintosh rules! :)

My setup consists on:

- ASUS P5K-C motherboard
- XFX Nvidia 7300 GT 512 Mb
- Builtin sound card from motherboard
- Builtin ethernet

I decided to put this info out in order to help people with the same configuration as it was difficult to find support for this board. I had to try things out by myself.

For example, after the installation there was no pen drive support, no sound, no sleep.

The required kernel extensions were the following:

- Seatbelt
- Taruga ALC88X
- NVDarwin

However not everything is working perfectly yet! Restart isn’t working and coming from sleep breaks the ethernet module, so internet stops working.

Still need to find solution for this!
