Turn Off Filename Extension Warning
In Leopard, Apple fixed an annoying aspect of working with the Finder in Tiger. Previously, if you changed a file's extension, the Finder prompted for confirmation. But since no one has ever accidentally changed a filename extension, Apple thankfully added an option to turn that warning off in the Leopard Finder's preferences. Choose Finder > Preferences, and in the Advanced screen, deselect Show Warning Before Changing an Extension.

DealBITS Drawing: Midnight Mansion
I've become more interested in retro games of late, so I was intrigued when Vern Jensen of ActionSoft asked about doing a DealBITS drawing for his Midnight Mansion game. It's an explore-a-world kind of game in which you navigate your Indiana Jones-like character over obstacles and past the nasties in an attempt to gather treasure - if you enjoyed playing Dark Castle or Prince of Persia, you'll like Midnight Mansion. The graphics are colorful, cartoonish, and kid-friendly, though they won't be taxing your graphics card, and the sound is well-done. In my initial testing, I especially liked the tutorial mode in which signs within the game itself teaches the basics; with other games, I've sometimes found it difficult to pick up basic gameplay before I feel the need to get back to work.
