MU Menu is becoming one of my favorite utilities. I can now find the latest software updates any time by just looking at the menu bar without having to visit a website. I'm now starting to visit MacUpdate regularly, since its free service provide most of what you have to pay for at VersionTracker, plus it's Mac only. 8:43:59 PM    Comments []

I still can't get my client code working under Mac OS 9. I've looked at Apple's OTMP code, and it looks a lot like the way I'm using MP tasks. I'm considering whether I should rewrite my code to use OTMP or to use cooperative threads. For now I'm still trying to debug it, which isn't fun when it's able to crash my OS (plus I really hate having to run 9). 3:42:04 PM    Comments []

Macintosh criticized on MSN. In this article on MSN, Kim Kommando dismisses the Mac, although she claims to be fair. "And just to set the record straight, I was not influenced one bit by the fact this column runs on a Microsoft-owned site. In fact, I started my testing months before I began contributing weekly columns to Microsoft bCentral.", she says. [MacMegasite] 2:40:00 PM    Comments []
