Blank Screen Saver
There it is, THE REAL screensaver. Since this screen saver will only display a black blank screen it should actually save your screen. Of course, if you REALLY want to save your screen use the "Energy saving" settings in your system's preferences. Now featuring transparency! It's Freeware, so don't hesitate to Media:Blankscreensaverfolder120.zip download the 1.2.0 version (for Snow Leopard).

Now compatible with MacOS X 10.5 and higher (including Snow Leopard)! (For Mac OS X 10.4 version please visit SoftwareProjectsThatAreNotLongerSupported)

Wishlist
The Wishlist offers a technique to tell the world what you would like to get on your next birthday, x-mas or similar anniversary, without actually knowing who will buy you which gift. And best of all, the "buyer" can mark it as bought, so no-one else will buy it. (Did you ever get something twice?) Visit WishList for details.
AppleScript- and Automator-Projects
These programs will run on Mac OS X AppleScript / Automator environments. They are mostly provided as source.
Heikos Little Helpers
Heikos Little Helpers is a collection of the scripts I wrote for my own purposes. Check it out!
PlaySingleTrack
For those of you that missed a feature in iTunes allowing to play a single track, here's your solution: PlaySingleTrack
VLC Remote Control Shell Scripts
If you want to remote control your VLC Player by shell commands, take a look at VLCRemoteControlShellScripts.
iTunes Backup and Restore Rating Scripts
Since iTunes Library keeps crashing occasionally I was searching for a way to preserve all metadata. The tags are safely stored inside the files. Only the rating is not. That's what my script does - it backups the rating into the (at least for me) useless BPM-Tag.
It's also an script for restoring into rating included. You may Media:BackupRatingToBPMTagAppleScript0001.zip the scripts here. They're free! (Best installed at /Library/iTunes/Scripts/) ||
iTunes Control Scripts (for remote shell like ssh)
I needed a way to control my iTunes running on my other Mac - since I found nothing which fits my needs I made up my own (as usual). The scripts can show all details of the current track, control iTunes (volume, play, pause, quit, next, previous) and set rating for current song. You may Media:ITunes.tgz the scripts here. They're free!
Mount-O-Matic
Mount-O-Matic was originally planned as a Cocoa Application but it turned out to be a easy task in AppleScript. It's purpose is to automatically mount EtherShare, Netatalk or Mac OS X Server volumes. You may ask why this is necessary! That's easy Since Chooser is gone, there's no easy way to do this, Volumes with Umlauts in it can't be mounted with Startup Items, For every server a window is opened (nasty). Visit cocoa-co.de for details or just Media:MountOMatic.zip. ||
CreateLowRes
CreateLowRes is an AppleScript I wrote for a friend who wanted to automagically create low res images from incoming high res images. See CreateLowRes.

Mac Uptime PPC
Mac Uptime is a simple program to display the time since the last reboot. On various Unixes this is called "uptime". You may also copy-paste uptimes to mails so you may impress your friends how long your Mac is up. You may also automate this by using AppleScript. New in the PPC version is the widely configurable display. It's Freeware, so don't hesitate to Media:MacUptimePPC.1.210.sit it. There's also a Media:MacUptime0.015bv.cpt 68K Version available.
Shell Projects
