Haven’t crashed in a day or two, but just want to keep the link just in case I need new ideas.

I don’t want to start a software company, but I do enjoy and appreciate the efforts of various developers, at large and small companies. I always wonder how well the small guys are doing. Here’s an MSDN piece on Getting Started with Your Own Software Company [via Slashdot]. Coincidentally, Brent Simmons created a Yahoo Group…

Got out to see In America last week, and I’m glad we did. The decision was made as much by an inability to agree on anything else as a positive expectation about the film, but we were (unjustly?) rewarded all the same.

A few choice quotes… … The battle for Americans’ disposable time — among a vast proliferation of entertainment products and media channels — is becoming even more pitched than the battle for their disposable income. Indeed, in…

Macintouch has three more reports of Mail.app problems. Two of the reports sound similar to mine (crashing related to marking mail as Junk, mostly). I’ve tried one (removing the LSMMap2 file), so now I’ll try the other (reset the Junk mail filters and re-train… thought I’d tried that already, but…). Still hoping. Maybe the new…

Words come before looks in web design is a very short article from Gerry McGovern. When people come to your website, you have already got their attention. Bingo!
