Yes, Apple’s Mail finally looks like it should again now that Dane Harnett et al. have released a WideMail beta for Snow Leopard. So far, pretty stable for me. Go grab it.

SafariStand and Safari 4: Still Working!
I’m happy to report that in my short experience with Safari 4 (released as a public beta at time of writing), the tab sidebar at least seems to work beautifully still. ‘Top Sites’ tabs show a black thumbnail but everything else with regards to the tab sidebar seems to be in perfect working order.
Unfortunately, I have noticed that separator bookmarks (-:-) do not appear as menu item separators within the bookmark menu anymore. I have no doubt that this functionality will return soon in a future update.

iPatch and NuclearMouse Incompatible
When trying to install some software updates deployed using iPatch, I found that the updater(s) would display their license/readme sheet and then exit as soon as the sheet was closed, presenting only for a second the usual ’select application’ dialog that we’re all used to. It turns out that NuclearMouse was to blame – as soon as I disabled it, iPatch applications worked again!
So, a hint to those with similar issues: disable (or uninstall) NuclearMouse before running iPatch update programs. To do so, simply drag the NuclearMouse.bundle out of your SIMBL plugins directory.
Update (2009.10.20): By popular request, I’ve uploaded a copy of NuclearMouse sent to me by Peter C. of Genie Logic. If the original author is out there and would like me to remove it, I will; until then, it will remain available here. Please note that it’s not compatible with 64-bit applications, so it’s pretty much useless to anyone with a modern mac on Mac OS 10.6 or later. Download NuclearMouse
Yup, SafariStand is (somewhat) compatible with Safari 3.0! But since there are tons of SafariStand features that I don’t use, your milage may vary. To be honest, the #1 reason I use SafariStand is for the tab sidebar, which works flawlessly save for the close buttons within. More importantly, SafariStand does not seem to impede upon any of Safari 3’s built-in features. A full detail of working and non-working portions of SafariStand follows.

So Into Inquisitor
I generally tend to stay away from buying software, but once in a while a truly amazing piece of software arises to break that trend. I recently decided to put in the cash for Inquisitor. A product of David Watanabe, Inquisitor is an excellent example of the spectacular quality of his software. Since I started using Inquisitor earlier on in its product cycle, I was instantly hooked. I find now that I use Inquisitor more than I use the address bar! Inquisitor was definitely worth my 5€. For any frequent user of Safari (or Camino), I strongly recommend checking it out.
Looks like I’ve finally rooted out the cause of Gentoo’s IMAPS servers returning ‘SSL errors’ in Apple’s Mail.app. It turns out that the way I had configured Mail to check for new messages every minute was not so friendly to Gentoo’s IMAPS server. Increasing said configuration value to every five minutes seems to have fixed the problem.

No Time for FlipCount
There has been a whole lot of feedback about FlipCount recently. Sadly, I just haven’t had the time to get through all of it yet. What with summer school exams and labs and quizzes, and work deadlines and urgent bug fixes, on top of being home and doing (or avoiding) the whole family thing, I just haven’t been able to do all of the things that I want to do.
Nonetheless, I was able to get through some mail today.

FlipCount Flipped Out
I Spent some time today on one of my pet projects, FlipCount. Felt like I might reward myself since summer session 1 finals finished this afternoon, and kill an outstanding bug in the process. Mission: Accomplished.
All in all I think that the widget is doing fairly well for itself. Ratings sky-rocketed once I cleared out a major standing bug on it’s second release, 0.91b. I had almost 400 downloads just 10 hours after its announcement on DashboardWidgets.com, where it currently remains exclusively available. Continue reading ‘FlipCount Flipped Out’

Gentoo for Mac OS X more Gentoo-like
Joe Jezak has been putting in a great deal of work on sys-apps/coreutils-darwin and sys-apps/baselayout-darwin. With Kito’s advice and my pushes, shoves, and testing, we were able to put together a working coreutils package, as well as a preliminary baselayout. So far, the baselayout consists only of env.d stuff, but will grow with time. This is a great step forward for Gentoo for Mac OS X. Time for me to go celebrate in some more code.
