Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a What’s In Your Dock?
We normally make some attempt to avoid posting on the meme du jour here, but I rather like this one, and so will bend the unwritten rule.
I have a rather pedestrian, Apple-centric Dock, I fear. In it, you can see: Finder, NetNewsWire (with an unread count of 406!), Mail, Safari, Mozilla Firebird, Camino, Explorer, Photoshop, BBEdit, Hydra, Terminal, iTunes, System Preferences, a little Applescript application thingy (to launch various browsers, BBEdit and CSSEdit), MPlayer, Bittorrent, iCal and, of course, the Trash.
For good measure, here’s what’s in my Menu Bar too:
And, since those icons are even more cryptic than the ones in the Dock, here’s the list: SoundSource, Bluetooth, MenuMeters (showing network traffic), AppleScripts, iChat (because I can’t seem to make the icon go away), Modem status, Airport status, Battery level, iSync, the Time & Date, Salling Clicker, and Searchling.
So, what’s in yours?
Update: Over at Frownland, Matt makes a convincing case for ditching the Dock in favour of Dragthing. I should add at this point that my Dock use is minimal, thanks to the wonderful LaunchBar.

You need Salling Clicker V2.0, that’s the old icon!

Yikes! The shame of using elderly software ;)

You have AFAIK a broken link (the first in fact) in the source code of the article. Take a look:

Goodness, what a lot of unknown-to-me icons… all music stuff, I guess?
Geeky note - I see the Alcatel USB modem status monitor thingy there - i found that if you eradicate all traces of that from your computer, and replace all alcatel stuff with the drivers BT provide from their site, you stop getting the dreaded unplug kernel panic. Can’t find the url for the drivers just now though…

Oh, for goodness sake - just Googled and the first result was for a comment I made in reply to a post I made on this bloody site. Weblogs are the new memory…
Anyway, here they are.
