Useful Stuff: OmniDiskSweeper
Today, another must-have utility; OmniDiskSweeper for Mac OS X. This uility is meant to help solve a very common problem within computers... As we keep working on them, we create more and more files that we want to have handy. Eventually, no matter how big our hard drive is, we run out of space. The computer starts crawling, the hard drive starts making funny kr-kr-kr-kr noises, and we get impatient. It is a good idea to have around 25% of free space on the hard drive to keep it working at an optimium level. The problem comes when we have to erase stuff... Where do we start from??
OmniDiskSweeper solves this in a very effective way; when launched, it scans every directory in the hard drive and calculates its size, showing a browser with all the directory hierarchy and each folder's size. This makes it very easy to realize within a glance where the big files are, making the decision of what to trash easier.

for all the not-osx users out there: there is a platform independent version of a similar app called jDiskReport available.
If you wanna give it a shot just click here to launch it from the web!
