Two OS X Applications

This morning I found two cool applications for OS X that I thought I'd share. The first is the oddly named Logorrhea.

Your one-stop iChat log-viewing solution Logorrhea is your one-stop solution for iChat log browsing and searching. iChat can be configured to log all messages sent and received, which is all fine and good - until you need to actually find a specific conversation, at which point you're stucker than a bleeding pig. Enter Logorrhea. It pulps, it purees, it locates incriminating past conversations with incredible speed!

Until Apple gets off their asses and makes that part of iChat a little better, this product will be very handy. You can search through your old chat logs and view them without even having to open up iChat.

Next up is an application called Comictastic. It is kind of like an RSS reader for comics. But it is more a screen scraping app (though it would be cool if it understood RSS too). It comes with around 18 web comics defined, including classics like Red Meat and Penny Arcade. One thing I like the most is that you can point it at just about any web comic and it will figure out what the comic is (or give you a choice of what the comic is on the page). I just started using it this morning, but dig it so far. Both these apps are from the cool people over at Spiny Software.
