Update #1: Java 1.5 was released early on Friday for 10.4. Just because it wasn’t in the box doesn’t mean it’s not available. :P

Hooray! I stand corrected, and a Java 1.5 update for OS X Tiger is, indeed, available.
You know, episodes of the new Doctor Who seem so short, after [...]
Ahh, Tiger. Everything seems about 1/3 faster, and it’s worth every penny. I only grouse throughout the rest of this entry because these are the things that keep it mere inches from perfection.
Scrap the damn finder. Hire this guy, refine Path Finder a bit, rename it Finder Pro.
For Exposé and Dashboard, I [...]
Makes me feel a bit slow, but I just now discovered the for:{username} tag convention on del.icio.us, via revgeorge / George Hotelling. Just subscribed to my own for:deusx tag.
I really want to upgrade to Tiger, but I’m afraid of killing any part of my main work machine’s setup (ie. Fink or anything under ~/local/bin) [...]

Bell’s Expedition Stout is growing on me tonight. I didn’t like it much at first, but it’s growing on me.

Ecto, OmniWeb, Colloquy, Firefox, NetNewsWire. There are just far too [...]

I’ve been pretty much tuned out of the development [...]

You know what I grouch about with surprising zeal? Links that pop up in a new window.
You know what really tweaks me about it? Clients, IA’s, and designers who favor such links because “we don’t want the user to leave the site”.
Hurr… then don’t include hyperlinks in your page–they, by definition, [...]
Geek News Central, a podcast whose torrent feed I’ve been using to iron out the wrinkles in my book’s BitTorrent integration, just dropped a word about the book toward the end of today’s edition. That was nifty to hear, for sure! Thanks for the mention, the link, and the compliment.
It’s not the first, [...]
