Rui CarmoSo, it's the day before Apple's 30th anniversary, and here I am waiting for an ancient laptop to install Fedora Core 5 - I decided to have another go at some of my Linux kernel hacks, so I need more than one machine running it (I also have some hope that the recent slew of updates has finally gotten power management to work as advertised).
In the meantime, here are some links of interest:
- Yes, Mobile GMaps is now GPS-enabled. I don't have a Bluetooth GPS handy and the updated applet won't run on my Blackberry, but both are sure to be only a matter of time.
- d3, a neat TiddlyWiki-based approach to GTD (via Merlin Mann). The neatest thing about it is that it can update itself over HTTP, thereby ensuring you're always on the bleeding edge.
- All UNIX geeks can rejoice, XScreensaver for Mac OS X has gone beta, and despite some OpenGL quirks, most of the time-honored favorites run wonderfully (via the spool, who are also into bouncing cows).
- A few people pointed me to this new Belkin KVM switch, which despite having one feature too many for me (i.e., audio), might be interesting to who paid attention to my earlier post.
- Via Michael, the return of the Eolas patent nonsense, which is going to break a lot of IE functionality (whether or not it was broken in the first place, or what other bits of IE will remain broken, is left for the reader to decide). One likely fix for most purposes is here, but it won't be as unobtrusive as you'd might expect...
