One of my complaints in my Thunderbird Notes was the inability to access certain commands from the keyboard. While downloading Thunderbird 1.0 from VersionTracker, I noticed this in the comments: In OS X 10.3, go to your Keyboard/Mouse Preference Pane and define any key you want. If you don’t have 10.3, grab iKey and define…

I flew to New York again last night on the red-eye. The fellow in the window seat in my row does this commute every week – yikes! I’ve been pretty happy flying jetBlue. I was in one of the ‘more legroom’ seats behind the exit row for this trip. There was enough room to stretch…

I picked up 2 200gb drives and have put them in external FW enclosures because the ATA-4 bus in my PowerMac1 won’t support drives larger than 128gb. I can successfully connect either drive to either FireWire port and they mount up perfectly. I can then read and write to them without any problem. However, when…

I got my HP 6110 hooked up to my wireless network via Rendezvous. The set up was a little complicated, but not too bad. The DSL modem is still the wireless base station, I then connected a hub (uplink port) to the ethernet port on the DSL modem and connected the AirPort Extreme base station…

On the lift, we were chatting with Chris and Kevin – covering all the small talk bases. It turns out Chris does web-based development with his company in Illinois. I mentioned…

It’s coming up on a year since I joined the ranks of the self-employed and I realized last month that it was high time for me to get some general office essentials and set up a few things to help me run my business more effeciently. Got voice mail (instead of an answering machine) Got…

I joined Costco a few months ago so I could save a few bucks on my Dyson, but I’ve been mildly surprised that I’ve used the membership more often than I thought. In college, our house finance officer determined that we didn’t save any money shopping at Costco1, and I had similar anecdotal experience. Costco…

Inspired by Kevin’s post, I decided to give Thunderbird another chance this week. I’ve used it 90% of the time, only going back to Mail.app a few times – but I don’t think I’m ready to switch all the way yet. Unfortunately, there are several features in Thunderbird that I really like, and miss when…

Several people have asked me recently why I release so many alphas and betas of my software before doing an actual release. There are a number of reasons: I like letting early adopters get their hands on new features early on in the development process. This allows them to take advantage of the new features…
