I don’t think I mentioned it yet, but I started a new blog for Frequency developments. You can read it here. Expect 1.1 for Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and Windows2000/XP on Wednesday or Thursday.

I’ve wrestled with a pending feature of Frequency 1.2 for several hours tonight. And now I go to bed. 😛

First iTunes Music Store purchase: “Shimmer” by Fuel. Figured I’d support some local boys. 🙂

Now Joe’s at it, too. Cool!

Scooby is back! It’s so nice to have my real PowerBook again. The screen is sooo much nicer on this one.

Just came back from the National Day of Prayer gathering at Long’s Park.

Ashleigh Banfield, one of my favorite people on MSNBC: This TV show that we just gave you was extraordinarily entertaining, and I really hope that the legacy that it leaves behind is not one that shows war as glorious, because there’s nothing more dangerous than a democracy that thinks this is a glorious thing to do.

Mosaic is ten years old, having been born in 1993. I feel really, really old. I’m one of the only people I know that been on the Internet since 1994. Sure, I didn’t have a browser, so got everything through FTP and Gopher, on the command line, using [shudder] VMS. I didn’t have a mail client, either. If I wanted to send an email, I typed “SMTP user@host.com” and then the message. If I made a typo in the message, I had to start all over. Oh, that was horrible. I connected at 2400bps on my Mac Classic. I was later upgraded to SunOS and we got access to Lynx, a text-based browser. That was in 1995. Then, in 1996, I subscribed to MindSpring (now Earthlink), and experienced the joy of a graphical web. Now, of course, I have a fulltime connection through the cable modem and my main tools for accessing content are Safari, NetNewsWire, and Frequency. How times change.

Wow, Bill not only blogs, but he’s also running for president. Go, Bill!

Mactopia: Why do you say “Oops!” after hitting send?

Fortune has a good article on Apple’s new music service. Ultimately Jobs hopes to offer millions of songs, including older music that hasn’t yet made it to CD. “This industry has been in such a funk,” sighs singer Sheryl Crow. “It really needs something like this to get it going again.” Here are some pictures from the Apple Event.

Oni Central: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 :: So what’s up with Oni 2 (or whatever it’s called)? I get much e-mail asking me if I have any information on Oni 2, if there is anything new to report, etc. I have posted what I was able to divulge, and there have been things I was told no to post. Must… control… self…

Buggy software.
