Creating Web Services with PHP using XML-RPC.

One app I'm eagerly awaiting on "Mac OS X" is WriteUp, from Anderson Financial Systems. WriteUp is an excellent word processor, and has been available on just about every iteration of NeXTSTEP, OPENSTEP, and Rhapsody; there should be a version for Mac OS X available by the end of October, as evidenced here.

OS-X FAQ has a pointer to a great article on how to get Tomcat (the reference implementation for the 1.2 JSP/Servlet spec) running under "Mac OS X".

Well, after using "Mac OS X" for over a week now, I can say that some things must change about the Dock. I love the Dock. I do, really, but trying to click on an icon toward the edge of the screen while it scoots away from you - OFF THE SCREEN - is only fun the first coupla times.

Nothing to do but check it out. Jerks. (With an appearance by Eric Cartman. )

If you don't know, don't ask. ;-)

"Jim" announces OutlineXplorer, an in-development outliner for Mac OS X.

Some buddies and I were fooling around with Java servlets and an outliner...

On Sargeant Pepper and OS X: And then I thought to myself, "What the hell am I doing here?" I'd noticed a quarter of an inch difference between the drop shadows on some windows in OS X, and here I was acting like I was the first person to decode the 'Paul is dead' hidden messages.

Mac OS X software updates for the last 2 days.

The iBot.

I've now had a chance to use "Mac OS X" on both a 12" 800x600 iBook, and a 19" 1200x1600 monitor. I was pleased to discover that Mac OS X's Aqua interface works well on both.

Borland has provided instructions for installing JBuilder on OS X, mirrored here.

MSNBC is carrying a WSJ article about the controversy over business-process patents. I don't know what the solution is to this, but it's good to see the issue coming up in the courts and legislative systems. Now, if they can only keep from breaking the system even more...

Dave has put the Userland Discussion Group on pause, and is re-instituting the "Mail Pages", which ran '96..'98. To help ease the time burden is Radio Userland, Dave's &uumlautber-content-tool.

"Jim" links back here, pointing to my comments on the "Mail Pages". Well, here's a reciprocal link to say that I agree with his follow-up comments.

"ArsTechnica" has an article on Mac OS X. Ars Technica always casts a keen eye over the material for their reviews. They are extraodinairily thorough - if you're a Mac OS X fan, or curious, definitely read this.
