As I just found some comics on my computer, I have been searching for a convenient software, which would enable me to:
- automatically browse through (turn) the pages,
- automatically rotate the pages and maximise the display area (hold your laptop as a book),
- place the pages face-to-face.
And I just found Simple Comic on Google Code, which is free (MIT license), meets more than my expectations, and remains extremely sober.

macVim
If you read this page, it means that you are already fond of vim, this wonderful text editor, most popular on Unix systems. Now that you bought a Mac, if you miss the eye candy part, you should have a look at macVim.
The transition phase is quite smooth, since macVim will use your current .vimrc.
The software is still under development, but the current version is still very promising, and I can only recommend you to download a nightly build and start using it.
For information, some of the keyboard shortcuts were not available under my gVim version for Mac, since I use a different dvorak keyboard layout, but the problem is solved with macVim.
skim
skim is a pdf viewer for Mac OS, but it has a lot of extra functions, like
- adding and editing notes
- highlighting text
- focus using a reading bar
- support for Apple Remote Control
- interaction with LaTeX and PDFSync
and many other specifications available on the website.
It is quite handy to use it with macVim, described here above!

Venant de passer sous MacOS X, j’ai rencontré quelques problèmes de compatibilités de mes projets faisant appel aux librairies OpenGL. Il faut savoir que l’OpenGL est installé de base sur tous les systèmes Darwin.
Cependant, il convient d’adapter les #include et l’édition de lien.
#include <OpenGL/gl.h>
#include <OpenGL/glu.h>
#include <GLUT/glut.h>
Lors de l’édition de lien, il faudra ajouter les drapeaux -framework OpenGL -framework GLUT.
Sur mes projets, certes simples, ceci a suffit.
Pour les instructions #ifdef, le test à faire est sur la variable __APPLE__.
