Done. ICeCoffEE (Internet Config Cocoa Editing Extension) took about three hours, 120 lines of code. Still needs some more work, but I released it to a few testers tonight and hope to hear good news in the morning.
Just noticed that the three dots (…) after “Connect To” appear as [sigma] in Friday's log entry below. That would be a bug.
I was washing the kitchen floor while listening to Bob Dylan's Stuck Inside of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again on Radio Paradise. Amazingly, though I've heard it many times before on RP and universally found it almost impossible to listen to, this time I enjoyed it. Dylan's voice just seemed to become unimportant and I could listen to the song for what it was—not bad.
When this happens with his MTV Unplugged version of Desolation Row, possibly the most annoying RP-played song of his to my ears, I think I'll have gone completely nuts. 
One day I should do some modifications to the template. But for now, the writing is more important.
Since 7PM Friday night, I haven't done much in the way of valuable work. Now it's time to get back to work.
If you use OS X, and ever need to draw a diagram, you owe it to yourself to check out the new OmniGraffle 2.0 public beta. I mentioned it a few days ago when it was still in private beta, but now it's out there… It's very elegantly done.
A new version of Fire, the premier multi-protocol chat client for OS X, came out today. The interface and functionality is definitely improving, but it's got a long way to go. For some reason Interface Builder corrupted the main nib when I opened it, so I couldn't hack the menus.
John Marriott mentioned to me on IRC that he was working on a URL-launching window for OS X, something like the old “Connect To…” AppleScript that was in the Apple menu. In Mac OS 9 it was planned to replace it with a NSL browser. That happened, eventually in OS X, but the standalone Network Browser was lost at the same time. So much for progress.
