17″ powerbook meltdown
Monday, August 23rd, 2004
Brother’s 17″ powerbook melted. I wonder if this is related to the 15″ powerbook battery recall.

Instant Messenger Race and Nitro is now in hibernation
Tuesday, August 17th, 2004
Nitro, my current jabber client is now in hibernation. After dizzyd left the project it seems nobody is motivated enough to keep adding features. This is fine, as Adium is almost “gold” in my opinion. More on that later.
OS X has three really popular instant messengers that have multi-protocol support:
It’s no coincidence that Apple has hired the creator of proteus (Justin Wood) and also the creator of fire (Eric Peyton) into the iChat divisions at Apple. They both created outstanding products. It’s unfortunate that the people now running proteus and fire aren’t showing any progress with their software.
Now steps in Adium. It currently has at least as many features as Proteus, and just a few less than Fire. With the .64 release rumored to have now only meta contacts (something that proteus and fire have had for some time) but also group chat support for Yahoo, MSN, AIM, and jabber. This means you will be able to accept invitations to chat rooms from users, invite users to chat rooms on those networks, and create your own chat rooms if they do not already exist. This is something proteus does not do, and fire does for just AIM.
Adium also says (on their homepage) that they will soon be releasing new versions twice a week. Something no other messenger can even think of offering due to their lack of direction.
So i’m chomping at the bit for Adium .64.
Redesign version.. i’ve lost count.

Hopefully you’ve noticed in the last week or so the new design. This is an adaptation of binarybonsai’s excellent kubrick theme. I’ve got some more tweaks i’m playing with in the backend, so keep your reload button nearby. Let me know if something isn’t working, too.
By the way, I’m experimenting with wordpress as a CMS over at my dad’s site. Check it out.
Dear MAILER-DAEMON
Sunday, August 8th, 2004
I admin almost a dozen email servers across the country, and I wonder if anyone else gets some funny replies to mailer-daemon messages. Because I use qmail, a non deliverable message looks something like this:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at somedomain.com.
I’m afraid I wasn’t able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I’ve given up. Sorry it didn’t work out.
…and then some relevant error as to why the message could not be delivered.
These are a few of the replies i’ve seen recently from customers:
Don’t give up!!!
you can’t because that’s my friend
(That one was in response to a error that said “222.222.222.222 does not like recipient”)
and finally,
leave me alone jerk
