A small update to the minigr skin for AmphetaDesk. Changed a link, and added 1/2 a line of code, which is really pure hackery, and will be fixed up properly when the next version comes out. (Right Morbus?)

Text Reader
I should have mentioned this the other day, in the same place I mentioned TexEdit. There’s an app called Text Reader. What does it do? Well, you open a text file, and it can read it aloud, or save it to an AIFF file. (Saving to an MP3 might happen in the future.) There’s AppleScript ways to do similar things, but this is a bit easier for most people.
Now, onto what I need. I need a command line application that can convert AIFF files to MP3 files, without the presence of QuickTime Pro. I’m sure there’s some open-source app out there that’ll do this and will compile on OS X right? If you know, please let me know.

I’m AIMing for Ya!
In a certain workgroup I happen to be involved in, we’ve implemented IM using AIM. So while I personally would like to see our own Jabber server implemented (you know, security, control, and what not) for now AIM will do. The presence part of IM is something I find very interesting…
On to clients! For Mac OS X I use Fire, but for you poor Windows bastards there’s always Trillian. I’ve not personally used any version of Trillian, but I’ve heard a few people say that Trillian Pro is quite good. As for my own Windows box, I thought I’d try out Gaim. Gaim has a Windows port, which includes the GTK+bits, so it’s not a difficult install, and the features seem fine. (Again, I’m not an IM guru, so don’t take my opinion too strongly.) Gaim will do fine for those rare times when my Mac is unavailable.
Are there any other AIM/IM clients for Windows I should check out? (Open-source is preferred) Let me know…
Next on the to do list: perl aimbots

More on Tea
I missed the most recent Tea event, which is not surprising, since I live 1/2 way across the country from the normal Tea meeting place. While I’m most famous as the inventor of TML (the Tea Markup Language) few people know that I’m also working on the Tea::Reader module for Perl, as well as mod_tea for Apache, and some time next year plan to release Teanux, a version of Linux aimed at people who attend the Tea events… (Note that I have no affiliation with the Tea Scripting Language.)
