Another utterly essential Mac App - Xslimmer
I’m holed up, with a to-do list the length of a football pitch, a load of writing to do (yes, real writing, not just powerpoint!) and a sprinkling of childcare thrown in. Just enough time then to find a bit of software to reduce some of the apps clogging up my hard drive by taking out the non-Intel code out and all the silly non-English language options.
Yes, thank you XSlimmer - which does just that, effortlessly and for about £8. That felt like a hugely productive hour and Firefox already feels that little bit more sprightly as a result.
Although, to be honest, I could have saved as much disk space just chucking out some of the crappy music I never listen to. But, we all know, you can’t actually throw out music, can you?
