03/09 Fast[er] Firefox

Just tried out DeerPark, an optimized compile of Firefox 1.5. Indeed quite faster. It exists in 4 versions, two for G4, two for G5, one each with aqua buttons [blech], and one each with FF buttons, ie customizable. It does look a little bit different, but so far I haven’t hit any wall.

12/27 Dot-Tunes

DOT-Tunes is an amazingly nice app [both Mac OS X and Windoze] that parses the content of your iTunes folder, and enables you to serve a selection of mp3 on the net via a dedicated server. Once the server is up and running, you can register it to trackers. On the client side, you can listen to mp3s remotely via either a browser, or a dedicated app that comes with the server. You can even listen to mp3s on your PSP via their mini browser and an rss feed of mp3s served. The design is great – version 2.0 will even be better – and it Just Works™. The company that is selling this product is based in Australia, and the support is just great – friendly Aussies and all that… Best of all, it costs 29 AUD [+/- 18€ or 21US$], which is dirt cheap. And if you’re a bit lucky, you may even get a free serial number: MacNN will give away 10 of them, 2 per podcast. Answer the question and get one! Thanks Victor and Dan!

So, if it’s that great, did you buy it, Mistah dda?
Nope, I coded parts of it, as a hired gun. While I am not a member of the company that builds and sells DOT-Tunes, I may have a conflict of interest in advertising this app. So what? It’s great.

12/03 I guess the weather is not always that good

The weather a year ago

This photo was taken 373 days ago give or take. I guess last year we had a nice weather in November… This year it’s more “traditional”: grey and wet. Grrr
