As always, feel free to get in touch if you have any feedback, good or bad.

SubEthaEdit 2.6 was released today, and the big new feature in this release is a tabbed document interface. It’s actually a really good tabbed interface, too. The tabs fit in well with unified window look, and you can re-position a tab by dragging it anywhere; including a different document window, or dragging it into a [...]

Paint.NET 3.0 was released a few days ago. From looking at the release notes the new version doesn’t have a ton of new features, but one of them is a new multi-document interface; something I’ve wanted to see in Paint.NET for a long time.
Paint.NET is a pretty good graphics editor for something that started out [...]

This is an old trick, but always fun. It’s easy to change the status message on a networked HP printer; just telnet to the printer’s IP address on port 9100, and type the following:
@PJL RDYMSG DISPLAY=”YOUR MESSAGE HERE”
Press enter, and you’re done; the new status message will stick around until you change it back, or [...]

Reuben Yau tells us how to make Google Analytics report the full URL for dynamic referrers. In other words, the referrer will show up as /forums/showthread.php?t=1234 instead of /forums/showthread.php (which is more or less useless).

“We define everything that is on the phone,” [Jobs] said. “You don’t want your phone to be like a PC. The last thing you want is to have loaded three apps on your phone and then you go to make a call and it doesn’t [...]

A lot of people are talking about MacFUSE, released today for OSX. From Ars Technica:

FUSE was originally developed in the Linux world as a filesystem (like what you browse in the finder, or over the network from your Windows machine) that’s implemented in userspace. This means that you can load and unload new filesystems without [...]

Looking at Marware’s iPod Nano products today, I can’t helped but be a little impressed. I already own the Sportsuit Sensor+ (which lets you use the Nike+ kit with any pair of running shoes), and I’m probably going to purchase one of their Sportsuit cases soon. Unlike just about every other armband-style case I’ve seen, [...]

The big news at MacWorld today is, of course, the new iPhone. The keynote certainly didn’t disappointed, and there’s a lot to talk about and speculate over in the coming months before it’s released to stores. From a user’s point of view I’m certainly eager to try one out first hand, but what really interests [...]
