For those of you who might like to listen to any of the first two seasons of the new Doctor Who either at home or when you are out and about, here they are as MP3 files. Right-click (or ctrl+click) on the links to download them to your computer. Season 1
I have been really happy to see the interest in my “tweak themes”. I call them that since they are designed to be installed over existing themes (though some people say they like them over the standard Apple Aqua). I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who decided to sign up for the site so th...

 Edward Shepherd Mead Yeah? Well, someone told me that there’s a beowulf cluster booting up in the boardroom that is getting to work on THAT particular problem right away!
It’s no where near as fancy as the one in Mozilla-based browsers (Camino, Firefox, SeaMonkey, Flock, etc.), but for those of us who prefer Apple’s Safari, it’s a lot more than we get in WordPress right now. And, this is how I got it working:

Introducing MacOSX Tigger, the Tiger Apple should have released in the first place. All window shapes match and there are 2 shading options: Unified and Metal.

Mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

I feel like I should start this post with something like rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
Iridium has not seen an update since v1.9F. That F was meant to stand for final. And, it seems that Iridium still installs fine under 10.4.8, so there is no reason for an update. And, thoug...
In an unconfirmed rumor this morning, I stumbled onto a note suggesting that Christopher Eccleson will be starring in a revival of The Prisoner.
