I don't mind when people on chat clients mark themselves as away when they're really there. I sometimes do this when I don't really want to be bothered but might still want to initiate a conversation or two.

I do mind when people are marked as available and yet aren't actually there at their computer. It's frustrating to send a message "into space." Half the time the person just quits AIM or their computer (Windows) crashes before they get a chance to see any messages you've written.

If you're away, put up an away message or turn on the auto-away feature in your messenger. It's a good way to respect your "buddies."

Ecto 3 is due any decade now. I'm reminded of the glacial pace every time Daniel says something about MarsEdit 2.0.

I don't.

The past few days I've seen two movies that are probably under-rated: Breach and Shooter. It's been awhile since I saw a good sniper movie - Enemy at the Gates didn't cut it.

Jesper is starting a small campaign for Cocoa (and really all Mac developers) to be resolution independent as of November 29, 2007.

Iris (Cyndicate) is mostly resolution independent already. We have only a few small tweaks left, but our icons and things were all done in sizes up to 4x as large as the current standards.

I need to create a digitized embroidery file (".dst" file) for some embroidery work. I can have this done for me at a cost of $100, but I'm hoping someone will know of a more cost effective way to do this. I doubt there's a Mac solution available, but I'm able to run Windows XP in Parallels if necessary.

The logos are Adobe Illustrator vector formats, so naturally I can export them to other formats as well.

This script will help me when/if I ever switch from Entourage to Mail.

I think Entourage is the only non-native app I still run semi-regularly. In my Dock, I have Stickies, SpamSieve, Entourage, Adium, Safari, Transmit, Terminal, BBEdit, iTunes, Cyndicate, and ecto. Yep… Entourage is the only one left.

I'm looking for a moderately high resolution image of a handicapped parking permit for a practical joke of sorts (nothing illegal, and the butt of the joke is not in any way handicapped people). Anyone seen one? A google images search is pretty useless.

If anyone is interested in developing some themes, perhaps which can be built-in, for a new feed aggregator/reader/thingamajig, please contact me via email (see sidebar, and please don't use GMail). The advantage or perk of doing this is that, at the bottom of every article using your theme, you can put something like "theme design by" with a link to your blog, home page, etc.

The Coke can has been redesigned. I like the "new" old look, and agree with the comments here (also where the image comes from).

And you should too.

It's not so much a kid's movie, though, which is a nice (if subtle) change of pace. They even say "hell" in the movie.

We desperately, desperately need some water. I've not mowed my lawn (because I don't believe in wasting water) in weeks. Except for a few thin and almost invisible strands and a few shaded areas, the lawn is a good height. It's just dormant and slightly brown.

This discussion prompted this post…

I've yet to make the switch to Mail. I still use Entourage, and I still like it. I've got some good AppleScripts, it works well, I like labels, and it supports different soundsets.

The end.

P.S. The show of the same name is really good.

I'm looking for a Windows developer capable of porting Scorecard to Windows. I don't care what language is used (so long as it's not too far out there). There's more information here, but here are the highlights:

• Should work somewhat like the Mac version. This is a port, not a grounds-up rewrite. The Mac (Cocoa) code will be available to the developer, as will an SVN repository.
• The data file is a SQLite file and should be usable on either platform. There are plenty of SQLite database libraries for Windows.
• We'll sell, market (The Sand Trap comes in handy here), and support the app. Developer gets 75% of raw profits (before any expenses or processing fees).

If you're interested, please contact me.

You know, "231 years old" really doesn't seem like squat when you think about it. When I went to France, the thing that most impressed me was how old things are.

Americans go to see Monticello and think "wow, that's old, it's from 1784" (or whenever). Then they go to Europe and they see things that existed before frickin' Jesus Christ existed. Kinda gives you a new perspective.

Anyway, happy birthday to the greatest country in the world. If only we didn't currently have the greatest idiot running it, we'd all be better off. 😛
