Rain Rain Go Away...

The Washington Post has this to say on rain: Even with yesterday's hopeful peek of sunshine, the numbers are astounding: Since May 1, the Washington area has had 11.93 inches of rain, more than twice the normal 5.61 inches at Reagan National Airport. That is nine times the amount of rain Seattle got during the same period.
Yes, Seattle.
Since May 1, 90 percent of the days have been cloudy and nearly two-thirds of those days have had measurable rain. The string of miserable days amazes even the grizzled experts.
We are, as the Post says, Stuck in the Rinse Cycle.

MacSlash Journals...

MacSlash has implemented user journals in the new version of the site, so anything that I'd normally blog here about the meta-stuff regarding MacSlash, will be going on my MacSlash Journal, which may be found on the site by searching for Cannonball. Apparently, you can't link directly to them. Pity.
UPDATE: Robert corrected me. You can link to them: http://macslash.org/~cannonball/journal/

John Gruber on Mailsmith

John Gruber (Daring Fireball) has briefly reviewed the new Mailsmith 2.0 release. I've picked it up and installed it. A few weeks back I accidentally paved over 3 years of email that were in an Entourage database and that was a Bad Thing, but it means I get a choice as to which client I use this time around. I've been a Mailsmith license-holder since version 1.0, which I bought in a slapdash box at a MacWorld in the late 90s. This 2.0 release is good enough for me to use as a primary. I'm excited about it, actually. That's important.
I love the stuff that BareBones makes. BBEdit is a stellar product that I can't live without anymore. So I'm going to give Mailsmith a shot as the primary mail client for a while. I'll revisit this in a few weeks to see how perfomrance is holding up.
