Last one to the party.
Just a quick update to my previous widget clicking post. Ok, so maybe it wasn’t such a wondrous discovery after all. Kevin Conboy from Alternate.org pointed out that command-clicking the toolbar widget to change views has “…been around since 10.0, except 10.0 didn’t have the small icon view(s)…” as illustrated in this post of his … More

Tricky clicky widget flipping.
I’ve been running Panther for a full week on my Mac at the office. Needless to say, I’m tremendously impressed by the increase in speedi-quickness.

Regarding your recent message.
Hi there. What can I do for you today? > Your Email Client does not support MIME encoding. Hmmm. Actually, it does support MIME encoding. That’s why I received the attached images you sent me. However, it doesn’t support non-standard, single-part encoding that your email client apparent mangles the text component of your message into. … More

Turn your head and cough.
This server was temporarily offline this evening while I did a bit of minor maintenance and ran the venerable Norton Disk Doctor through its paces. Don’t worry, it was good OS 9 Norton — not evil OS X Norton. And at the end of the day, the best part is that it didn’t find anything … More
