My pre-order for Tiger from Amazon (supporting Daring Fireball) is slated to arrive on Tuesday – I guess by then I’ll know if I should go ahead with the upgrade or wait for 10.4.1.

From the description of Automator in ARS Technica’s Tiger review, it looks like Automator will do the same scripting voodoo that Read it to Me does. I think this is a good thing since no one has come forward to help maintain/advance the Read it to Me project and Adam and I don’t have the…

I went down to the Herman Miller store today to check out the Mirra and give the Aeron a second look. Based on some of the recommendations I received and other reviews I’d read, I was leaning towards the Mirra. However, after some sitting around in the different models, it was pretty clear that the…

I went to the Rockies-Marlins game tonight. The young Rockies hung in there pretty well, but couldn’t avoid giving up a big inning late in the game. First time I think I’ve ever seen back-to-back triples. Coors Field is a really nice place to watch a game – I highly recommend it if you’re passing…

I’ve been using the same el-cheapo Office Depot desk chair (similar to this one) for about 6-7 years now, maybe a little longer. It was fine when I was working at a BigCo and only occasionally doing work at home, but now that I’m working from it 40-70 hours a week, I’d like to get…

I think it should be possible to write a plugin for Outlook that approximates subscribing to an iCalendar. I think such a plugin would be downright useful, and I’ve submitted the project registration to SourceForge for approval to get things started.

Over the last few weeks I’ve ported Tasks Pro™ to ADOdb. At the moment, I’m successfully running on MySQL, M$ SQL Server and PostgreSQL. I still have a ways to go before I’d be comfortable releasing this code (mainly with regard to installation error handling) but assuming all goes well, version 1.6 of Tasks Pro™…

I’ve been watching Nashville Star again1 this season. Unfortunately, Jayron Weaver – my favorite to win it all, got the boot tonight. A real traveshamockery if there ever was one. This kid has an unbelievable voice, I’m sure he’ll get a record deal out of this one way or another if he wants one. I…

I’m still sick. 🙁 I went to the doctor today; it seems that I have the spring flu that is going around here. The Doc said I’d probably start feeling a bit better by this Friday, and should only have a cough by next Monday. Yuck! At least I got some heavy-duty drugs that should…

If you use an accesskey (control + letter keyboard shortcut) on a button element in the newly released Safari 1.3, Safari crashes1. Just a word of warning for you Tasks Pro™ and Tasks users that are accustomed to hitting Ctrl + S to save tasks in Safari. If you haven’t already upgraded to 10.3.9 and…

It sucks being sick – especially heading into what looks to be a nice weekend. The cocktail helps, but I still feel like crap.

For the last 5 years or so I’ve been in search of the best way to take notes, record ideas, keep track of my tasks (yes, this is why Tasks was originally created), etc. I won’t keep you in suspense, I still don’t have a perfect solution. Here are some of the things I’ve used…

I decided to go with the iLap, and have been using it this afternoon. Here are my notes: Rain Design has definitely taken a page out of the Apple book regarding product packaging – the box is quite nice. FedEx Home Delivery (their cheapest option) for here from the Bay Area in 3+ days (ordered…
