In the dock

Jeremy Keith has posted a screenshot of his dock after an article on O’Reilly. I find Dock watching addictive, so here’s mine.

From left to right – Finder, System Preferences, Suitcase, Automatic Backup, Entourage, iTunes, Kung Tunes (IconFactory icon), iChat, NetNewsWire, Camino (My theme icon), Safari, Omniweb, Mozilla, BBEdit, Transmit, Free Ruler, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, TextEdit, Word, iPhoto, Quark 5, InDesign 2, Photoshop 7, Illustrator 10, Acrobat, Acrobat Distiller, iPod it, FreeSnap, Preview, Hicksdesign work folder, project folder, accounts and finally – trash. Everything else is accessed from the menubar with TigerLaunch from Ranchero.

No magnification, no bouncing. I keep a lot in there, but because I do print as well as web design, thats everything I need.

Hey! Your dock is bigger than mine.

I feel so... inadequate.

I envy the man who has a minimal dock.

Well, if anyone wants to see my big dock, there are now pictures of it on the internet. :)

The innuendo possibilities had escaped me completely - I must be working too hard...

Well, you know what they say. God created Dock and God created Man, and only enough power to work one at a time.

Wow that was horribly mangled.

Jason Kottke again has one of those posts on his site that going to get out of hand. People showing off their dock. (i too was careful not to misspell that)

Personally I have no hiding no magnification and no bouncing. Most seem to have Photoshop, something from Macromedia and BBEdit. And Transmit also seems to very popular. I too seem to be quite ordinary I that regard.

Egor, What are the apps to the right of MSN Messenger and Suitcase? I don't recognise them...

Egor Kloos said 1803 days ago:

The app next to MSN is a Multi-Protocol IM Client For OS X called Fire. It actually works! MSN messenger is no longer used and I should remove it, Fire does is all for me. I've been using Proteus and have recently switched to Fire. Less functionality but also less bugs.

The other is Limewire. This app is basically an Gnutella client. Guess where I got Illustrator 10 from, nevermind the truckloads of music.

I've just been testing Proteus' latest release. This version seems to have cleared up some of the problems I've been having with a previous version. With IM hosting and multiple MSN accounts I think I'll switch back.
