― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:13 (twenty-two years ago)

doesn't it drive you crazy?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah especially when the link leads to a mailto and then the comp instantly loads up mail gah fuck me till i fart!!!

― cozen (Cozen), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Under view, hit status bar.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:15 (twenty-two years ago)

yay! thanks bnw, I was poking around in prefs and couldn't find anything!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:17 (twenty-two years ago)

That irritated the fuck out of me until someone told me how to fix it. Also it looked bad, like the webpage was spilling out of the window.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, agreed!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 19:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, is Safari just Netscape plus? I don't get it.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:51 (twenty-two years ago)

It's actually Internet Explorer for Mac plus, in a way -- it was developed by Apple to provide a Mac-centered browser.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Er... but it's a Mozilla engine, isn't it?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

with a twist of mozilla!

(xp!)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay! I don't know much about Mozilla, ya see.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It's weird, bc on my version when I click it it links up with Netscape.

Anyway, what is a good homepage that a) is not google and b) is not ilxor?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, what do you want out of a homepage? I just use a blank page.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I want to be stimulated yet soothed, entertained but not overwhelmed, informed but not hit over the head. I want to reach different lands.

This is the default for my safari:

(Is Mac using all these brushed silver interfaces so that we will think we need to go out and buy the tianium overheater?)

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

www.aldaily.com ?

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Safari is a little bit helpful I guess, with the ez links to Amazon and ebay. And the google window.

How do I toggle back and forth between applications? And why does my Acquisition icon keep bouncing up and down when I am not using it?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes, I like aldaily and I read it a lot. It's just not something I would want to look at, say 4 am if I turned my computer on.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:11 (twenty-two years ago)

alt-tab!

and I don't know!

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:12 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't read aldaily in forever! that actually used to be my home page, until they got all snide and conservative

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:12 (twenty-two years ago)

It's bouncing because it wants your attention.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Alt tab does nothing for me. Oops, ichats bouncing, gotta go.

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Not "alt", "cmd". The little thing with the apple next to the space bar. It switches between apps.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:30 (twenty-two years ago)

And it does this rather stylishly if you're in Panther!

― Casuistry (Chris P), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I am in Jaguar. Yes, apple tab is working; thanks!

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

oh yeah, I guess I haven't completely left my pc days behind me (alt is in the same place as command!)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 22 January 2004 23:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh, I forgot; I like Show Desktop (instant hide all that sits in the menu bar) and also Lite Switch for apple-tab switching betwqeen apps. Yeah, it's a pc inspired app, but it looks so good under OS X...

― Dave B (daveb), Friday, 23 January 2004 00:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Er... but it's a Mozilla engine, isn't it?

Actually it's Konqueror.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Friday, 23 January 2004 01:16 (twenty-two years ago)

*checks* He's right, you know.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 January 2004 01:31 (twenty-two years ago)

What's the best way to 'publish' an iTunes playlist? Exporting as text looks terrible, .xml doesn't work for some reason (when I open the file in IE, it's just XML code), and I think iTunes Publisher is shareware.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Friday, 23 January 2004 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, how do you do that?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Friday, 23 January 2004 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm in Safari, it went to this loud Web page, I just want to turn down the volume, but where is it?

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 23 January 2004 10:45 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not in your menu bar? On my iBook it's also F4 and F5 keys for quieter and louder. There should also be a setting in your System Preferences.

― Casuistry (Chris P), Friday, 23 January 2004 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah fek all that, I play boxikon. I rool!

― nathalie (nathalie), Friday, 23 January 2004 17:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Eric's Ultimate Solitaire -- Montana. So addictive.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Friday, 23 January 2004 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you Chris.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 23 January 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

two months pass...

NetNewsWire is eating me alive. I don't dare subscribe to a thread here with it.

― don atwater weiner, Monday, 29 March 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

four months pass...

iTunes Publisher is freeware, as far as I can recall. I've never had any nags with it, anyway.

― Alba (Alba), Tuesday, 17 August 2004 22:58 (twenty-one years ago)

PSI is a good jabber client with msn and aim transport.

― willdabeast, Wednesday, 18 August 2004 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Haven't really added or subtracted any apps since I last posted. New things I really like are:

Gmail Status: a menu bar app that tells you if you have any unread Gmail email.

SolarSeek: slsk client that doesn't depend on X11 or any weird ports. Still in early development stage but works pretty well

xAct: converts .flac, .shn, etc. audio files to plain ole .aiff

Wiretap: records streaming audio (or anything coming through the speakers) to .aiff. I use it for recording RealPlayer streams.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 08:01 (twenty-one years ago)

that gmail status sounds very useful!! and what is the deal with this solarseek

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

wiretap looks handy

Solarseek seems to require 10.3, so it's no good to me.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Bugger - so does the self-contained Nicotine bundle recommended elsewhere.

I'm not paying all that money for Panther. I was planning to wait for Sabre-Toothed Tiger or something.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

how do I get a soulseek username / pass to use w. solarseek?

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought you were 10.2 too?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

ok I get it.

no, 10.3 :P

I can copy it for you?

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

wow exciting.

― cºzen (Cozen), Wednesday, 18 August 2004 19:33 (twenty-one years ago)
