Wow. A belt with a slot head screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver and a bottle opener built into the belt buckle. Finally feel like Tim the Tool Man.

Firefox 1.0
I know everyone is thrilled about it as if it were the invention of sliced white bread. But I'm anything but happy with the new version of Firefox. Two annoying bugs are massively spoiling its use for me.
The first is an incompatibility with Codetek Virtual Desktop. Basically, it manages virtual screens where it hides windows and displays those of the new screen. To do this, it sends a redraw to the applications. Firefox then nicely paints its main window, but that's it. Only by changing the size can you get Firefox to redraw its content.
The second bug is even more annoying: every time I start it, the top menu is completely missing. It's simply empty. I have to send Firefox to the background and bring it back to the foreground to activate the main menu.
If you imagine how I work — multiple virtual screens, one for each important application, constantly switching between screens — then you can perhaps understand why I'd rather stick with Camino until Firefox becomes something stable and usable.
Even though it bothers me a bit that all the practical extensions are closed off to me because of this. On the other hand, that was already the case before — the prereleases never really worked well with the Web Developers Toolbar for me on OS X. Under Linux, Firefox is definitely my favorite browser, but the OS X version is a bit too buggy.

Microsoft in Licensing Frenzy
Microsoft grants a free license for a mountain of network protocols - provided that signatories commit to never working on Open Source projects. The tricky part: Microsoft grants licenses to protocols that don't even belong to them - such as TCP/IP, AppleTalk and ZModem. A subtle hint in the description text points out that you should get other licenses for the protocols that Microsoft doesn't own. Sorry, Microsoft, but the license isn't even worth using as toilet paper.
Mikel Evins: RAD Skater
Cool! One of the old SK8 developers — essentially the best rapid prototyping system from Apple, kind of HyperCard on steroids, dope, amphetamine and dextrose — and a few other programmers from the scene want to build an open source RAD tool that should build on SK8's ideas — and will therefore be called Skate.
As far as I'm concerned, they could be done with it already.
