Things stumbled upon.
The web seems to be chock full of tasty little gems today. Always one to share, I offer the following digital curios for your perusal. First up, here’s looking at you. The video conferencing capabilities of iChat AV may be all well and good, but I’m not quite ready to shell out for a new iSight just to slather my mug across the digital abyss. Enter iChatUSBCam, an Application Enhancer module which lets you use your current USB webcam with iChat AV. Nice. Now, moving from Apples to oranges… I find it a bit hard to swallow the claim that there are still six million active Commodore users around, but it’s certainly nice to see that someone is considering to relaunch the brand. I would like to clarify at this point that in my younger days I was an Apple II geek — not one of those other guys with a Vic-20 or C-64. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Speaking of ‘back to the future’… Markus Schmidt and Joacim Melin of NeXT Information Archive fame, have launched the inaugural issue of a nifty PDF-based publication called NeXTeZine. My favourite article has to be the tutorial on how to install a developer release of Rhapsody under Virtual PC. Now that’s the kind of convoluted technology integration I can really sink my feet into. Oh, and by the way, just as America Online killed newsgroups and the web, it’s apparent that the death of weblogging is close at hand as well.
