Unify your UI, but be careful with the chrome

UNO is a theme that brings the sunken unified toolbar/titlebar look&feel to every single window on your system (metal or aqua, and already unified windows as well).

It’s back to Firefox for me!

So, after a good solid several months’ run with Firefox, the constant CPU drain finally got to me and I’ve gone back to OmniWeb. Source: It’s back to OmniWeb for me! » Archive » Blog » 0xDECAFBAD So, since Firefox 1.5 has hit the wires, I’m giving it a shot again. I just can’t stay put [...]

How I spent my burn-in period

I don’t want to produce a book (I was an editor for four years, and one should never learn how sausage is made :-), but I do have a blog. So I asked some of my friends and I’ll be posting the results, several per day, so long as they keep coming in. Source: O’Reilly Radar [...]

Digging up embedded XOXO outlines

But I don’t have an easy way to import one of those XOXO outlines in my FeedDemon application in order to receive the latest blog items from those [...]

In my reading, I just caught the [...]

Who knows which of these methods of describing lists will win? I’d give a slight edge to OPML, because Winer promotes it a lot. But on technical merit… you tell me. My hunch is XOXO is the crisp, clean and simple solution. Source: Cloudy Thinking by Ron K. Jeffries » Blog Archive » [...]

Shoot the core!

I spent an hour or two this morning relaxing, playing a few classic arcade shoot-’em-ups by way of emulation. However, the unfortunate side effect of pumping an unlimited stream of quarters into games like DoDonPachi II, Mahou Daisakusen, Esprade, and Mars Matrix is that I have perpetual blossoms of blue and pink neon bullet [...]
