njr 3.0

iTunes 2.0.4 has improved AppleScript support. I hope it'll let me script uploading files to my MP3 player… that was one thing that didn't quite work in 2.0.3. Although, since I got a card reader, it's less important. Got to open it in Resorcerer again to add a command-\ shortcut for Zoom like I did for earlier versions—edit the çMNU resource ID 135 in the Localized.rsrc file for your language. The addition means I can zoom iTunes, switch songs and zoom back all with the keyboard. I also have F10/F11 bound (via Drop Drawers) to switch to the next and previous song or stream.

I'm making a concerted effort this week to move to Mozilla as my main Web browser. The inclusion of the download manager removes one significant beef I had with it, and the speed keeps improving all the time.

I'm back, and very exhausted—been writing code for my mom and I'm still not finished. I'll be taking a break.

Scott Collins is back. Neat. Mozilla is certainly getting a lot of much-needed cleanup for 1.0, though it still stinks in the UI department in general.

FireFly: The iPod's hard drive is down to $200. Perhaps an iPod price cut (or size increase) is in the works?

I'm off to spend some time with my family. In New Hampshire for a few days, then Boston for a few more. I'm not likely to post much until Sunday or Monday.

Have a good weekend, folks!

w3m-0.3 released: This news is a few weeks old, but I only got a chance to play with w3m's image support today. It's remarkably bug-free and predictable, although Web sites which refuse to load images can confuse it.

Using w3m with image and mouse support (the mousewheel even works!) in a rxvt window makes me realize how much I wish graphical web browsers supported its style of navigation – in particular, being able to scroll the page by line or page in both horizontal and vertical directions, and perform incremental search, all from the keyboard. Here's what it looks like:
