(made semi-famous in general circles by John McPhee's book Basin
and Range) wrote a book about our reliance on oil. Should get it,
I wonder if he writes the way he talks. Reminds me I still need to
finish Assembling California; I'm got about 50% through it and
then was distracted by Cocoa books.
But all the computers in the world won't make a scrap of difference if
we don't deal with our dependence on oil, will it?
Found it. A toolbar item's view was nil. Perfectly normal, I just didn't bother to catch it. Definitely time for better exception handling.
Suzanne Vega – Gypsy – what a wonderful song. I don't like her new album all that much, but I had never heard this one before, and… wow.
Fighting a really ugly bug with ICeCoffEE 1.1 and OmniWeb (which cropped up in some changes I made to the loader since 1.1d2, i.e., tonight). NSLog output seems to go to the bit bucket; I've finally found the location of the problem. I should have finished and gone home three hours ago. Argh.

Digital seems to have a drive worth looking into. While there's
no possible way I can use a 120 GB drive (I'm currently using 16 GB on
my 40 GB hard drive), a 7200 RPM ATA drive that performs like that is
a good sign.
1,033
downloads. Bug fix and potential new feature coming today,
assuming I get my laundry done some time soon!
