A Handy Mac Utility If Your Presenting At Lotusphere

I know that there are quite a few Mac users who will be using their Macbook for presenting at Lotusphere so I just wanted to share a small application that I found that I find is really really handy.
[Caffeine] is a tiny program that puts an icon in the right side of your menu bar. Click it to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. When your doing a presentation the last thing you need is for the screen to dim while your talking and not moving the mouse.
Caffeine is also very handy for other things like if your monitoring a server and need to make sure the screen doesn't turn off for a little while and just like the coffee service at Lotusphere you can set it up to disappear after a set number of minutes so you don't accidentally leave it turned on all day.
