I have kept using Firefox on my Mac, and today I read about the Performancing for Firefox extension, so I thought I’d give it a try - I’m posting this using it. It’s quite nifty - you get a split-view screen with the posting editor at the bottom, while being able to continue using the [...]

Since Tiger came out, I’ve been using Safari’s RSS reader, which I really like. Today I learned about Vienna, an open-source RSS reader.

A new release of CopperExport is available! Many nice changes in this release, including:

Allow setting the description for new albums (requires an additional server-side patch to the xp_publish.php file, see the ReadMe). Improved checking and cleanup of URLs (you can omit the http:// at the beginning, and properly handles a slash or “/index.php” at the end). Improved error checking and reporting. Conversion [...]

I recently switched all my locally-stored email in my work machine from Evolution 1.4 to a local IMAP server, using the Maildir folder format. The motivation for this was that I have been using Evolution (1.4) for a while, and wanted to give Thunderbird a try. But with my messages stored in Evolution’s local format, [...]
