Utah Road Trip

I bought Fireworks 3 and Dreamweaver 3 just prior to my trip, so I now have absolute no excuse for putting off the old site redesign. Looks like there should be plenty of time tomorrow to get that taken care of.

I can’t believe I missed posting on Thursday. I’m definitely slipping.

I have now returned from my whirlwind trip to Salt Lake City. There’s nothing quite like two 12 hour road trips (bookending a 60 hour span) squished in the back seat of a truck that really only seats two comfortably. It was actually a pretty fun trip.

Pismo, Pismo, Pismo

The new PowerBook G3′s definitely look appealing. Obviously I’m not going to go out and get one since I’ve only had my Lombard for four months now, but I’d love to have one. The good news is that I will get to play with one fairly soon, since I’m ordering one for one of the faculty members in my building.

Pismo Announced

Well, Apple finally announced the new PowerBooks. The low end model is now a 400 MHz G3 and the high end sports a 500 Mhz G3. Both come with DVD, two firewire ports and the RAGE mobility 128 chipset. Surprisingly enough they seem to have kept the Lombard enclosure.

What is X10 you say? Andy Ihnatko tells all about his new addiction over at Mac Central. I have to admit my curiosity is piqued.

Deep Leap Amusements

Hee hee! I found this gem over at deepleap. Takes me right back to those early 80′s days of Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Hey, Bump finally has a new design. I’d make snide comments about how long it took after Robert said he was going for a new look, but obviously I need to get my own act together.

Blogger does seem to be a bit more refined when you’re working from a PC with IE 5 as I am now. Lots of various keystroke shortcuts and a windows-esqe gui. I wonder how IE 5 for the Mac is going to be in this regard?

iCab

Looks like iCab does indeed work with Blogger. I checked my iCab preferences and discovered that InScript is not activated by default. Turning it on allows you to publish. Cool!

The new version of iCab is out and it supports JavaScript (or InScript in this case with trademarks and such being what they are). Unlike IE 4.5 for the Mac, it actually seems to work with Blogger as I’m using it right this moment (got to love that German engineering). Oops I spoke too soon, I can post stuff, but the publish button dosen’t do anything. That and there’s still no support for CSS. Still, it’s great to see some third party competition for the big two and it is still in Beta.

In the tradition of EvHead, Megnut and countless other weblogs, I’m hoping to do my own redesign sometime this week. This will of course have to be fit in between work, basketball practice, basketball games, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri, eating, spending time with my girlfriend, Ferazel’s Wand, updating my weblog, riding my bike, and everything else. No Mary, those items were not listed by order of importance!

Bye-bye free time, my copy of SMAC for the Mac has arrived.
