Link Dump
NetNewsWire is, as everyone knows, a fantastic application, but it really comes into its own when you’re less connected than usual. While I was in France a minute or two on rickety dial-up gave me a few hours of reading and, because I was using the application offline, it genuinely was reading, rather than hasty scanning and arbitrary link-clicking.
Here, to make up for the posting hiatus, are some of the things I was reading, or reading about:
- Amazon’s new search tool.
- Friendster Slut
- Galileo’s Moment
- iBook G4s
- iCan
- The broken desktop metaphor.
- Graffiti star sneaks work into Tate
- When blogging gets big.
- The differences between Transitional and Strict XTHTML/a>
- The ALA redesign (it looks too much like a weblog for my liking)
- A planned, controlled community
- It would be shocking if the Chapmans made some work that wasn’t ‘shocking.’
- Microsoft removes Linux support from virtual PC 2004. Shock.
- That’s right, the women are smarter
- Warhol ‘copy’ row hits art world. Hee.
- Monolog
- Majority in favour of lowering voting age
- Galloway expelled from Labour
- Expletive deleted, Guardian
- Derrida was making it all up for a laugh. Honestly. (I have a good friend who refers to my belief in the rational as ‘subscribing to an alternate mythology.’)
- I have some t610 Daylight Saving woes to look forward to, apparently
And, finally, I suppose Panther deserves an unordered list of its very own, since I will be upgrading within ten seconds of the taxi dropping me at my door.
- Panther, Panther, Panther
- Text Shadow in Safari 1.1
- Proteron, LiteSwitch X and Apple
- The Exposé blob
- Panther Video
- Tom Coates shares his first thoughts on Panther, and invites us to share our tips and tricks
- Some Mac OS X 10.3 (“Panther!!!1!”) notes
- Longhorn hits the net (Shurely shome mistake - Ed.)

My official copy is in the postal backlog caused by striking posties, so I haven’t used the final version as yet - once it arrives, I’ll make you a backup copy for evaluation purposes…

ooh
ooh
ooh
evaluation purposes - of course, I’ll be writing that up for my writing course, innit?

if you have an alcatel speedtouch modem, panther will kill it.

oh dear, that sounds rough, Jack, have you not got one of them?

The long list of ‘If you have [whatever], Panther will kill it’ things is making me think I’d be holding off even if my copy had arrived… although I ran a developer preview for a while (7b21 or something), and that was fine with the modem.
