Today my collegue found an interesting software for OSX called: MarcoPolo

Quote:

MarcoPolo brings context-aware computing to your portable Mac computer. It allows your computer to determine its context through gathering evidence from your environment (evidence sources), using flexible rule-based fuzzy matching to make an educated guess (rules), and then performing arbitrary actions upon changing context (actions).

MarcoPolo’s concept of contexts is a generalisation of a location, and encompasses more than just where your computer is. A context might represent what you are doing, or what else is going on around you.

MarcoPolo quietly stays in the status bar at the top of your screen (right-hand side of the menu bar), from where it can be configured to your own needs.

Basicly it looks like that:

Growl-Support:

Gonna test it, but i think it could offer some nice help for your mobile mac….

Edit:

Tested it and it is great for everyone traveling around and using a mobile mac on several locations.

• Mac ::: Impressions after 2 weeks of MarcoPolo
• Mac ::: Adding a Lock-Screen icon to your Menu Bar
• Mac ::: Trim down the Finder’s open with menu
