This is a test to make sure I successfully reconstructed my #upstream.xml file after accidentally deleting it (and that partition isn't backed up, doh!)
1:57 PMUgh, USB Overdrive beta 3 has decided to forget my acceleration/speed settings randomly, reducing my trackball to turtle-speed until I do something to wake it up again.
I miss those old icons:
Interesting, note the two versions of the number “3” in that picture. One is how Chicago actually shipped, the other must be an earlier version that was embedded as a graphic.
Also interesting how lacking in text the original Control Panel was. I don't really like this interface design much.
Chimera: Mozilla embedded in Cocoa. This is terrific; I can see what the people on other platforms using Galeon, etc., have been crowing about. It launches in 2 seconds on my Mac, almost on par with Internet Explorer. It even renders Radio's desktop home page correctly because it's based on the Unix backend (meaning it uses POSIX file paths, not Mac-style ones). It seems Dave Hyatt, Mozilla überhacker, is behind this. Rock! (This bug is so true.)
And the interface is very nicely done. If only it didn't crash so much. 
MultiTerm: Very early development version of a Cocoa terminal emulator. After my lengthy (and continuing) struggle with Terminal.app, I think redirecting my efforts towards an open-source effort would be a better use of my time.
Definitely need to find out what's causing this:
{njriley#ttyq0\@theremin:110} 5:19am ~>ps
No more processes.
Something or other is running away, and this is the second time this has happened… wonder if it's possible to prevent excessive forking somehow. 'limit' doesn't mention anything about processes. Hmm.
