I've made my decision re: Cocoa Dev Central, and I've decided to give the site to Scott Stevenson. He and I have known each other for about six years now, and we keep bumping into each other. We're active and somewhat public Mac users - it's bound to happen. Scott's a great guy with a […]

Tuesday I'm going to spend a few hours looking through JDD's new (upcoming) book Running Mac OS X Panther. It aims to be an advanced book that doesn't waste time telling you how to set your desktop pattern. I'm looking forward to it - hopefully it can give me some tips on how to improve […]

Question: How messy or clean is your apartment or home? My Answer: Currently my apartment is VERY messy, which sucks. When I was strictly a freelance guy, my apartment was spotless. Now that I only have 8 waking hours a day or so of free time (not counting driving to/from work, showering, etc.) and most […]

Another PulpFiction icon, another rejection. I'm beginning to feel bad for our icon designer, but he's a big boy, and he can take it. I'm not sure what's up with this one. It seems to combine the worst elements of previous icons. I blame myself: I apparently wasn't very clear. Instead, I've given the icon […]

Question: Have you ever slapped anyone? Been slapped? My Answer: No, and no. Not in the violent way. Sometimes in the playful way a woman will slap you when you say something silly or slighty sarcastic. I've never been one to walk up to a woman and say something that gets me slapped, and frankly, […]

She's quickly climbing my list. Very much adorable. Kind of odd seeing a 20-year old play a 16-year old, but such is life in Hollywood. But, ack, as I was sitting at the car dealer a week or two ago I read in People that she's living with her boyfriend of three years, so there […]

It's great to have reviews of your software. It's better yet to have reviews of software in a language you understand. Fortunately, je parle un peu français! Yes, a Booklet review in French. They've gotten the price confused with iWipe at $14 (it's $8), but that's an easy one to fix. P.S. Translated to English […]

Question: Have you ever over-filled your bathtub? My Answer: Nope. Well, until about 15 minutes ago. 45 minutes after I started running the water. That little drain near the rim can only keep up for so long, I tell ya! You are encouraged to answer the Question of the Day for yourself in the comments […]

Question: Who will win this season of Survivor? My Answer: I'm going to go with Darrah. I have no idea why. She's quietly slipping through and winning a lot of immunities. Lil has to go soon. Jon either will win or will not win (big time either way). Burton is a threat, and Sandra has […]

100 bounces to remove from our mailing list. A few hundred iChem registrations to send out to customers who bought iChem 1.0 through 1.2 (1.3 uses a new registration scheme). A quick fix to iChem 1.3 (reposted) because things like "H2O" wouldn't calculate. A bug found in MailDrop 1.3 that seems to prevent some people […]

I've met Robert Wiener (and his mother), but I'd never seen the movie Live from Baghdad until today. It was on HBO and I was bored. Not a bad movie, and Helena Bonham-Carter doesn't look half bad either (though, truthfully, Michael Keaton is a bit better looking). I think the movie would have been far […]

A lot of the spam I receive comes from the future. I presume that this is because most people sort their email by date, and by sending email from 2016, spammers believe they'll stay higher in a person's list. SpamSieve grabs all of my email and shoves it into folder I've named "* Shit" (to […]

Question: If you were to write George W. Bush's whitehouse.gov bio (see the previous entry on Clinton's), what would the first sentence say? My Answer: "After stealing the oval office in a controversial recount, "Dubya's" largest achievement in his single term in office was barely holding together the country, fractioned by those who saw him […]
