I, for one, would be willing to regain my interest for one of the following:
A) Transmit
B) Screenflow
C) Warbrain's Hammer, which I imagine looks something like this: http://www.medieval-weaponry.co.uk/acatalog/AW5730-medieval-war-hammer.jpg

I second estemuchacho2. And even if awakebyjava can be a troll sometimes, how can this be considered trolling? But maybe that's because I'm a troll, too, without realising it. Which is entirely possible, I guess, as I like moist and dark places and don't go out very much.
But my grammer is flawless, at least.

As far as I'm aware sentences should not begin with a 'but' tongue

Still, i can kind of see where people are coming from. Been a long wait I suppose. Still, NanoBundle 2 was good.

It can actually. But not having even started high school yet, I understand why you wouldn't be aware. smile
Just like you should have had a comma after "aware"
I think you should wait until you have finished school before correcting English mistakes. wink

EDIT: Starting my sentence with "but" was totally an accident. tongue

I'd say after your youthful innocence wears off.

So, around the time that you start dreading the holiday season rather than looking forward to it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure MacHeist is dead.  There doesn't seem to be a lot in the world of Mac software development, as everyone's attention is on the iPhone and iPad.  Maybe MacHeist knows of some secret apps, but there's nothing out there that hasn't been already offered in bundles that would make me want to buy another bundle.

That is definitely not true. I could name many high quality apps that have not yet been in a bundle (other than Panic apps). But I won't, because I think that many of them will be in the MH bundle.

Edit: Also, the inclusion of Coda in a bundle is a long-running joke around here. It won't happen. Panic doesn't do bundles.

There was a second app called Coda that I ran into in like 2004. I can't find it now, but its icon was a coda and what it did was forcibly pause any applications you might have open so you could allocate more resources to other programs.

It was also freeware.

No, I'm very certain I'm not. It was just a simple window, a dropdown of avail apps, and two buttons for start/stop.

It's actually really easy to do the same thing in Terminal.

kill -STOP <pid>
kill -CONT <pid>

For stop/start functions, where <pid> is the numeric process ID. Saved me some hassle when I needed CPU cycles from VMWare or something else unimportant at the time.

There's a difference between dead and sleeping. Also, comments like this don't seem to account for the amount of effort it takes to pull off something like MacHeist 3 (which I'm quite confident they will be aiming to one-up).

Well it's been sleeping to long then. Also, the amount of effort doesn't always equal quality. I'd give MH3 a C+ at best, though i wasn't here for MH1 or MH2.

So let me get this straight.. you missed MH1 and MH2 yet you rate MH3 as C+?? what are you compairing it to? there is "nothing" like MH and if there is please let the rest of us in on it, I would enjoy a voyage of discovery.

Personally I'm happy to wait, (and let the MH crew have lives as well as run this project)
