The Switch is on!

At the office people are moving from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X. I’m trying to convince people it’s called ‘Oh Ess Ten’ and not ‘Oh Ess Ecks’ but besides that, people are generally liking it. They say “it doesn’t crash” and other nice things like that. They complain about QuarkXPress, but then, we’ve always complained about Quark and XPress, so that’s nothing new…

I wonder how long it will take for the majority of OS 9 users to become OS X users…

I Hate Cars (Again!)

As I spoke to the guy at the dealership, I could almost feel the money being drained from my bank account.

I’m not the only one who can say I hate cars

Firebird and Thunderbird

Over on the Windows box I’m forced to use, I’ve made the switch, and am now using Firebird for browsing and Thunderbird for mail and news, and so far, things are working out quite well.

I’m guessing if I launch Mozilla sometime next week I’ll make some comment about how it seems slow and bloated…

I really don’t have any complaints so far, Firebird is basically a leaner Mozilla, cleaned up and presentable to your folks, and Thunderbird comes across as the Mail & News portion of Mozilla decoupled and out on it’s own. And that’s how it should be.

Meanwhile, what has IE or Outlook done for you lately?

Textile and Smartypants

I should mention the fine work and send a thanks out to Brad Choate for his work on Textile and to John Gruber for his work on Smartypants.

I’ve implemented both of these into a CMS I’ve been writing and the process has been pretty smooth and seamless. I’ve now got people with almost no knowledge of HTML creating nice clean, typographically correct markup… without even knowing it.

Thanks guys…
