Always looking for shinier toys for my system, I came across the Shiira web browser for MacOS X. It looks very nice, it is very fast, and has a bundle of nice features, including built-in search keywords, RSS reading and direct import and display of Firefox and Safari bookmarks. Very nice!

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. You can define folders and smart folders of feeds, and in general looks very nice. I’m giving it a try, maybe it’ll stick, and maybe I can then go back to Firefox [...]

After having used CVS for source code management for a long time, I recently started using Subversion, and like it a lot, I think I’m switching to it for good. So of course, CopperExport is kept on Subversion, and only after creating the project at Sourceforge I realized that they still do not provide Subversion [...]

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 [...]

Note: some time has passed since I wrote this article. While the general idea still holds, the dovecot configuration format has changed in recent versions, so please don’t use the file I show here blindly.
I recently switched all my locally-stored email in my work machine from Evolution 1.4 to a local IMAP server, using the [...]
