Just spent a few minutes seeing if I could get my Mac to recover from its periodic lookupd death easily, but it seems the answer is no. A mythical future release of OS X will fix the problem, though.
Also in the darwin-development archives, what's happening with Darwin Bugs. I don't understand why the old, crufty, read-only bug lists couldn't be put back up, but I trust someone, somewhere is considering the consequences.
Dave Hyatt writes about Chimera's genesis. Makes sense. One thing that wasn't obvious was that, while Chimera is an open source project, they don't want help yet with the coding. I wish this had been clearer, as I was thinking about doing some work on Chimera, but hyatt's argument makes a lot of sense: the foundation needs to be solid, and the people working on Chimera now have all the experience of what they did wrong on Mozilla's front end.
Movable Type blogs generate RSS at 'index.xml'. So, now I don't need to look at Nat's weblog page either. This is really a good thing.
Haxial TextEdit: not just another bare-bones plain text editor for the Mac. This thing is fast – possibly the fastest-launching OS X application I've seen. It uses its own fonts and interface toolkit, which likely contributes to the speed. The fonts and color scheme names are a bit weirdly inspired (a Monaco 10 bold-like font is called “Petit Mal”), but I can deal with it.
