This past weekend and week, |Jodi| and I spent a lot of time working to finally finish LT's room. Following are the results...

Seth has been writing about many aspects of development for the Mozilla browser for a while now, and he's finally gotten published! Seth contributed a number of hacks to the new Firefox Hacks book from O'Reilly.

Seth's been busy - he recently added channels (sort of like customizable &uumlautber-categories in Conversant) for people he blogs about, including one for Steve Ivy - neat! If he's mentioned you and there's a category for your name, you can also subscribe to a vanity feed (linked on the channel page).

To the man who was, for many of us, the original Rocketman... Captain Kirk, now 74. Happy Birthday, Bill!

Once again, I'm driving Kreg up the wall... oh, and someone remind me to beat him over the head for that horrible pun.

I've uploaded the lastest PodCastHelper. PodCastHelper is now a Mac OS X AppleScript application, so it should be much more efficient. I've wrapped up some of the external calls so they won't throw a dialog up if they error out. Also, PCH now recognizes timecodes that start with '#', so Christiaan Stoudt's HomeNetworkHelp.info podcasts work "out of the box".

At work, we recently "upgraded" from using CVS for all our source control to using Subversion. Subversion is what all the cool kids are using, but we chose it for several reasons, not the least of which being intelligent tag and branch management. With CVS, managing our release branches was becoming more and more hairy, while creating a new branch with Subversion is almost trivial. Other bennies:

Ok, I gave up on getting Kevin on the line for some audio. Maybe at a later time I can add it back in.

PodCast Helper is a stay-open AppleScript that looks at the current track in iTunes; if the genre is "podcast", it grabs the comment from the track, and parses it for timecodes and notes of the form:

Geek alert: Does anyone know if there's a way to ask iTunes for the elapsed time of the currently playing track? I don't see anything in the AppleScript dictionary, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place...

This was a project weekend. There were a nummber of projects I'd been slacking on, and finally got to working on Saturday and Sunday.

Josh Aas: Camino, Firefox on Mac OS X, and My MF Employment: >"I'll also be working on making pages load faster, and Mac OS X rendering in general. This most likely includes making the gecko rendering engine use the Quartz API intead of Quickdraw. This will bring a lot of benefits, including making use of your graphics card to do a lot of the work that your CPU is doing right now because we use Quickdraw."
