Mmmmm. OAAI has a beta of Glyphix 2 available for download. Tasty!

Ok, I downloaded the Glyphix beta, and this program rocks. The style shelfs are fantastic. Now if I could just figure out how to add my own styles... ;-)

So two weeks ago we're told - "move this java-based project to Visual Basic and COM". Aaagh. Then today I hear someone say "so, we bring up bugzilla and CVS on that linux box over there and everyone uses that". My head is spinning.

Apple has updated the documentation for WebObjects.

Cool! Both Jim and Greg have tried out Sid... Muahahahahaha!

Sid is a Mac OS X weblog client for the Conversant internet groupware product. More information about Conversant can be found here:

Apple has updated its WebObjects documentation to version 5, now shipping.

This will be making headlines for weeks, and keep Washington pundits and talk-show hosts in work for months.

This was posted from a Java-based Cocoa Mac OS X client, via XML-RPC.

Working under deadline while learning a new toolset that seems to fight you at every turn really sucks.

We're working on a demo for a new project, and learning VB/COM/ASP and the IIS architecture all on the way. Oh boy!!

Well, using a desktop client application that communicates with my content managed website (via XML-RPC) has got me posting again to Redmonk.Net. ;-)

I'm using my Java, Mac OS X Conversant Client to post today.

I'm not sure why, but if you're using Omniweb (site down right now) and can do without the toolbar, hiding it using the little clear button on the right side of the title bar seems to speed up the fetching end rendering of pages. Anyone out there want to venture a guess as to why?

Stepwise is reporting on goings-on at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference.

This article, and this one on DarwinLinux.com make for really good reading from a web developer's standpoint. Not a LOT of detail, but interesting nevertheless.

Whew. It's been a while, but there are times you just have to write. I just read this lament by Richard Dawkins over Douglas Adams' death. Sad, poignant, funny. Reminders that Douglas Adams spoke and lived the same way he wrote. "...The depression uncannily being exactly the same shape as the puddle."

Current track from R.E.M.'s new album, Reveal. A lush, beautiful album. Other fav's: The Lifting, I've Been High, Reno, She Just Wants, Saturn Return... hell, tracks 1-6 basically.
