news.mozilla.org is down again. It's usually very slow. I guess everyone at Netscape/AOL reads the mailing lists instead. If the local news server carried the netscape.public.mozilla.* newsgroups, I'd read them there, but it doesn't. Perhaps I should request them. Or else, move my news.mozilla.org reading to MacSOUP, but the problem there is that there are a lot of images and HTML in the posts, and MacSOUP doesn't handle any of that stuff. So I use MT-NewsWatcher, an absolutely wonderful piece of software that incidentally is written by a current Netscape employee. (Simon, please update it for OS X! We'll pay!) 10:23:38 PM | reply [] On Friday, I wrote: Well, my idea was to reimplement ICeTEe as a Cocoa input manager this weekend. It should be a reasonably quick hack, and I'd really appreciate having it. Done. ICeCoffEE (Internet Config Cocoa Editing Extension) took about three hours, 120 lines of code. Still needs some more work, but I released it to a few testers tonight and hope to hear good news in the morning. 10:20:12 PM | reply [] Just noticed that the three dots (...) after "Connect To" appear as [sigma] in Friday's log entry below. That would be a bug. I was washing the kitchen floor while listening to Bob Dylan's Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again on Radio Paradise. Amazingly, though I've heard it many times before on RP and universally found it almost impossible to listen to, this time I enjoyed it. Dylan's voice just seemed to become unimportant and I could listen to the song for what it was—not bad. When this happens with his MTV Unplugged version of Desolation Row, possibly the most annoying RP-played song of his to my ears, I think I'll have gone completely nuts. One day I should do some modifications to the template. But for now, the writing is more important. 4:44:06 PM | reply [] Since 7PM Friday night, I haven't done much in the way of valuable work. Now it's time to get back to work. 4:37:31 PM | reply []
