Xee, a great alternative to Preview

Looking for a fast and simple image preview application for Mac OS? I think the best I have found is Xee. The biggest problem I have with Preview is that you can not load a directory of photos by just choosing a directory and then boom the pictures come up.

More info

Xee is cool but the best photo preview application I have found is only on Windows, BreezeBrowser. I really like Breeze Browser because my wife and I have never made the switch to a database backend image editing/sorting application. We will make that change once we get my wives photo business started up in Austin. Watch out all you Austin photgraphers here we come!!!!

Dreamhost savings code

I recently did quite a bit of research on which hosting provider to use for the almondice.com domain name. I currently have a site hosted by another company and I wanted to see what other options I have. I found Dreamhost and got a great deal with a savings code. So, I created my own savings code for others to use. With another savings code setup just like the one below I was able to get (2) years of hosting for $93.80. I get 20GB of drive space,(1) TB of bandwidth, unlimited domain hosting, and to many emails. Lots of other features exist as well like support for PHP4 and PHP5 and a great support team to help you install things like many different wikis.

To get the same deal go to http://www.dreamhost.com and use the savings code almond97. This code will save you the amount below.
