The Pinstripe theme for Mozilla on Mac OS X is updated with nsITheme (Appearance Manager) support. Looking much nicer, but still too slow for me to use as my primary browser. Go Chimera! 5:02:30 PM | reply [] Rushabh, a friend of mine who I met my first semester here, has a nice Web site that he never told me about. The India photos are great... wish I could have gone on that trip. 5:01:56 PM | reply [] FutureBasic 6 is out including Mac OS X compatibility. I wonder if Greg Neagle will find time to Carbonize BulkRate (perhaps the crashiest piece of software I use, but there's no alternative I know of). Aside from BulkRate, the remaining applications I use every day in Classic: MacSOUP, Serial Port Monitor/Conduit Manager (for the AvantGo conduit, I sync natively for everything else), and MORE. It still astonishes me that there's nothing better than MORE. 12:54:55 PM | reply [] I slept in today, can you tell? Brent's leaving UserLand. Wow. For some reason my first reaction was to laugh. I think of the line he wrote a while ago, regarding his jobs: "busboy busboy busboy busboy UserLand". Brent, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you; working at a small company on products people feel strongly about, always with far more work to do than the time exists, yet still living life and enjoying it. I only wish I had the same abilities—I always struggle to find a balance. Good luck with whatever you decide to pursue. Though I doubt you need it. 12:50:25 PM | reply [] F-Script Anywhere 1.0.1 released. No major changes, just bug fixes. 4:54:17 AM | reply [] It's a phone-book *and* it's a search-engine: Type phonebook: name city [state] into Google to get US residential or business listings. And if you use IE 5 on the Mac as your browser, you can make Google into its search engine so you can just hit command-L, ? query to search with Google. (Similar and better things are available for other Web browsers, see Google's page on the subject). 3:17:00 AM | reply [] Mozilla for OS X is now available in a version for X11. Some things work better than the Mach-O or CFM/PEF Carbon versions. We're now up to 4 Mozilla-based browser versions for OS X, plus OmniWeb, iCab, and Opera. Not bad. I took a screenshot of them all rendering this page; some do a better job with CSS than others (Mozilla and IE are essentially perfect, and equivalent to one another). But Radio ate it after I dumped it in the Radio Upstream folder. Graphics of unrecognized types are just deleted instead of copied. Oops. 2:55:34 AM | reply [] ~stevenf: NewTen: "This Cocoa application, based on UnixNPI, provides a way to install packages on your Newton device natively from Mac OS X, without having to launch Classic." Hm, maybe I'll bring my MP2100 into work. 1:39:05 AM | reply [] Patrick Beard mentioned (a few days ago) that he wanted to upstream with Radio to his iTools Web site. iDisk now supports WebDAV connections, so I tried it, and exposed a couple of bugs in my WebDAV upstream driver. Here's my test site. Haven't heard anything about the latest version, but I cleaned up the documentation tonight and should be ready for release tomorrow. 1:14:42 AM | reply []
