Great news, NetNewsWire is available for free and available for download!

(Via Macfeber)

I signed up for a two year plan for mobile 3G internet from Telenor, which also happens to be my current cellular carrier. Their current offer is really good, SEK 200 a month, fixed price.

However, the link they provide to download drivers for Mac points to an old version which does not install on my machine. To get the latest and greatest. go to Option: wireless technology

Update: Never mind. Globetrotter Connect is truly useless. I gave up and purchased Launch2Net, very expensive but it just works.

After getting the PowerBook, I’ve made quite a few additional switches in my digital life:

• Mac Mini instead of a PC with Ubuntu Linux at home. After a few weeks with a Mac at work, I could no longer live without one at home, so whoops, there it is: a Mac Mini. It is oh so quiet.
• NetNewsWire instead of Bloglines. I have not visited my previous darling Bloglines once since I started using NetNewsWire
• TextMate instead if JEdit, Vi, Emacs … it rocks.
• iTunes and iPod instead of rsync and iRiver. I’m not addicted - right :)

I’ve created a Gnome Panel Applet to monitor Luntbuild builds. This is basically a spike to try out the Ruby-GTK2 library and the Luntbuild API but it works so I might as well release it.

I was looking up DWR and noticed that they provided links to similar projects. It occured to me that that is usually a sign of a quality project, having the self esteem / humility to show the way to alternatives.

I’m in the subway on my way to my moms boyfriends daughters birthday party, using the time to test blogging from my Palm. Seems to work quite decently actually.

Testing to blog from BloGTK. I’m not sure that I really see the point of this. It maybe good for off line use, but then I’d probably use JEdit and save it as a .txt file anyway. Oh well.

I’ve always been a fan of Netscape, but at the same time I never liked the Communicator idea - everything in one package. I don’t have a one piece stereo either, I’m just not that kind of guy. The Phoenix webbrowser is just right for me, it’s fast and lightweight and does not bring anything else down with it if something goes wrong. If Mozilla blows up it takes the mail session with it. If, using Windows, IE blows up everything is gone, reboot and grab a coffee.

There has been a lot of talk about news aggregators. Personally I’m using Amphetadesk which does the trick and more. One must know the little secret to using it though. The basic setup works just fine, but the fun starts when you go for this addon which adds expand/collapse of news feeds, time since posting etc.

Rickard is using mozilla 1.2b. I used it until I stumbled into the Phoenix world, where everything is lighter and oh so fast.

Seeing is believing, try it out.
