  • New apple store

    Final­ly there is an offi­cial Apple store in Syd­ney. A shop where ‘just look­ing’ is a per­fect­ly accept­able rea­son for being there and the staff will leave you alone if that is what you want.A place where ‘just after some info’ is treat­ed the same as ‘i want to buy lots’. I was­n’t expect­ing to…

  • Kudos to Alex

    Kudos is due to Alex for sug­gest­ing that I might find Omni­Web more suit­able for post­ing my blog entries. Aside from inte­gra­tion of Mac OS X’s built in spell check­ing sys­tem, Omni­Web also seems to behave bet­ter with the Grey­mat­ter CGI’s.

  • Mac OS X — the love child of unix and style

    One of the small­est new fea­tures of Mac OS X is full sized (128 x 128), full col­or, alpha trans­par­ent icons. If you don’t think these could be all that great check this out: Just one from the icon set “Where The Wild Things Are” by Wern­er Mar­tin Eggers avail­able from X Icons based on…
