Control outgoing network connections in Mac OS X with Little Snitch

An excellent addition to the standard Mac firewall, Little Snitch monitors applications for outgoing traffic on any network connection and allows the user to set rules that deny or allow (once, until quit or forever) access. The Mac firewall only controls incoming connections, Little Snitch monitors activity and with v2 has a very slick interface which shows you what is attempting to contact the outside world.

No more phoning home unless you say so for only about £13 ($24). Recommended for the more paranoid user.

Watched an excellent gig with David, Carl and Simon, Wedding Present at the Point. The Point is about the best venue around at the moment in Cardiff. The sound was good from about the third song in, they played the entire George Best album. About the fifth time I've seen them play. Gedge was on form. Some pics I took are on Flickr.
