RasterWeb!I finally got around to getting the Spell Check plugin working in jEdit on Mac OS X. Which wasn’t too bad really, mainly involving installing aspell with Fink, and loading an English dictionary. Now if only the plugin allowed you to add words… I need to learn more about aspell.
Mac OS X – solid, reliable, UNIX… right? Hmmm, my Quicksilver G4 does some weird stuff. Pretty often I can’t get it to awaken from sleep. I first thought it was just that the monitor wasn’t being recognized or something, but it looks more like something weird is going on. I have to force it to reboot fairly often, so much for uptime. I’ve got a USB hub with a few devices attached, could that be the problem? This has just started recently, post Jaguar. And speaking of Jaguar, Apple’s Mail.app is killing me. Has it got worse? Or has it got worse for people on a dialup? I routinely can’t even download my mail because it takes so freakin’ long, and it often just gives up, and doesn’t tell you it gave up. Sometimes I get doubled-up messages, most of the time it seems much slower than it should be. If I got a day or two without downloading mail, I need to log in to my ISP‘s webmail and delete all the damn spam just so there aren’t too many messages and Mail.app won’t choke… argh… I’m considering ‘switching’ to another mail client… again…
I need to finish up my AmphetaDesk skin called minigr one of these days… I might try to get one more version up before I tackle the other pages, so far feedback has been pretty good…
Don’t forget to watch The Screen Savers on Monday, as it’ll be Ladies Night and from what I hear they will talk about hair, and makeup, and boys… Just kidding, I’m sure Megan will find a lot of intelligent stuff to talk about, and Morgan, well… nevermind…
