Fishmeal #2

General 2004-07-02

I was better prepared this time. A really strong coffee, and loads of food. Fishmeal in a cup, mix with half water/half coffee, drink, drink water, drink coffee, eat food, more coffee… I can get through this ;)


I came acrossJohn Blade’s Homepage and found his hack for allowing the wp-mail feature to import pictures. I’ve been thinking about doing it myself, but good seeing John did it already. :) Besides, he’s from Brisbane. :)


Dashboard

General 2004-07-01

I haven’t figured out what all the fuzz about Dahsboard is. I gave Konfabulator a shot once. Looks nice when you’re using it, it’s good for server monitoring etc. Sorry for the Konfabulator guy that Apple made a smiliar product. I hope he at least had a chance to strike a deal similar to what the guys who made Panther’s filebrowser got. Anyways, Konfabulator had a problem, and Dashboard has the same. An Apple-blogger sais it right out:
Dashboard is (from a browser geek’s perspective): HTML sidebar panels liberated from the browser window and placed anywhere on the screen
. Meaning, using it gives you nothing but clutter on your desktop. Big deal? Probably not, but you’re not going to get good information here as you’re training yourself to ignore it. Worse yet, when the Konfabulator widgets fail, they often more or less stall, making the ready-at-hand/present-at-hand discussion relevant again: it will jump up at you and annoy you when it fails. I don’t care if it’s failed when I’m not reading the information, and because I’ll be trained to ignore it, it’ll be nothing but a hassle. When I get 10.4, I’ll be sure to turn it off straight away, just like I never wanted to use Konfabulator much.


Great photo

is a great photo of an elderly women, I don’t know where from. (Where in the world is Samoki? Would it kill people to say what country they’re writing in? Or just what continent? :) )
