I tried to find the latest copy of Brill’s Content with Matt’s picture on the cover, but unfortunately both Barnes & Noble stores that I went to didn’t have the latest issue.

Ah, that explains the new mariners.org redesign. Information Week covers Major League Baseball’s website consolidation efforts.

I spent a good portion of the afternoon installing vim under MacOS X, unfortunately I haven’t figured out if it’s possible to get syntax coloring to work from within the terminal application.

What is Speedle?

Stuff I intended to post two days ago, but couldn’t because of Blogger’s recent woes:

M’s win again. Ichiro is my hero. Awesome throw from right field to third for the out.

A new hosting option?

I’m tired. Time for bed.

Looks like O’Reilly Network is going to have an ongoing series on programming in Mac OS X using Cocoa. Here’s the first installment: Digging Deeper into Mac OS X.

I also see that O’Reilly is coming out with Learning Cocoa in May. Nifty.

Looks like the Mariners have a new web page design since I last stopped by. In my estimation it’s an improvement over the previous edition.

Nope, I spoke too soon. It requires java in places and complained about not having Flash (perhaps I need to update to the latest and greatest). Annoying.

Mary and I headed over to the west side of the state this weekend to visit her sister so I decided to bring along the Panasonic PV-DV400 MiniDV camcorder from work and put it to use. I recorded a lot of random scenic footage during the drive along I-90, but didn’t bother to look at it until we got back home from our trip. Much to my dismay, using long rather than slow play mode seems to have resulted in four to five large horizontal bands of pixelation across all of the recordings. I’m not sure if it was simply a problem with the tape I used not being of high enough quality or a flaw with this particular camera, but I received a good reminder that technology does not always work as expected.

My browser of choice in MacOS X is currently Internet Explorer 5 Classic. IE 5 Carbon is broken (no copying and pasting in the address bar) and slow. OmniWeb is Cocoa based and nice in a lot ways as a result, but still way to slow for my tastes and perhaps most importantly, it breaks Blogger. I haven’t tried Fizzilla yet, but I’m sure I will soon. I’m also looking forward to the final release of Opera because it’s the fastest browser I’ve seen for the Mac.

I’ve decided to bite the bullet and see if I can operate from within MacOS X the majority of the time. Time to order some more RAM.

I caused my first kernel panic today while trying to go to localhost (I’m still playing with Radio Userland) in IE 5 Classic. I’m not sure if that was the reason or not, but I’ll try to verify it when I get home from work.
