Brent is thinking about creating a mailing list for Mac OS X application developers who are working in the area of webservices, specifically desktop apps for web services. I think this is a great idea, and will help show others what a great platform Mac OS X is!
If you’re working on a desktop web-services app for OS X, let Brent know if you’d be interested in this.
R.E.M. has released an album’s worth of remixed songs from REVEAL. This is just so cool. The story of how it happened is here.
David McCusker had a crappy experience with the “Geniuses” at this local Apple Store’s Genius Bar.
He also got better service once he mentioned he would review the experience on his website. Maybe we all should stick “Weblogger” badges in our fedoras when dealing with Apple?
I’ve got some time this evening, so I’m going through the process of setting up fetchmail, procmail, and spamassassin on my TiBook. (fetchmail and procmail come installed on OS X) I hate SPAM.
Update: It worked! I’ve actually disabled my main pop account in Mail, and I’m letting fetchmail do the work for me. For now Mail is still filtering mailing lists and stuff, but soon I’ll get procmail to do that too, since procmail’s rules are actually useful…
I went to the public library to day and came back with an armload of books. The Phoenix Library system rocks. My titles:
The “Rodeo” and “Chedeski” fires in north eastern Arizona have now eaten through 300,000 acres of high country forest.
The fire has burned about 300,000 acres - about 479 square miles - since Tuesday. As many as 25,000 people have fled homes from more than half a dozen towns.
Read an early draft of my Personal Platform.
This site is hosted with Dreamhost, probably the best hosting provider I've worked with. They provide an awesome management backend, fantastic deals on hosting, an astonishing amount of bandwidth/disk space, and one-click installs of a *bunch* of common web tools.
