The news is in: Omnigroup’s WebKit-based browser for OS X, OmniWeb, is on sale for the month, for $9.95, down from the $25 it usually is. I bought my copy earlier today.
A while back I wrote a big couple of posts about my ongoing search for The Perfect OS X browser; I switched, tortured, from […]
This is major! Possibly the best game of all time, Adom, has gone b3 for OS X. It’s been available for Windows and Linux (closed source—I don’t wanna hear it.) for a while, and there’s been a beta for OS X—but this one is a lot more polished than b2. Used to be, you had […]
A quick updatewhat might be the final chapter in the ongoing saga of my own personal browser wars, via John Hicks: Camino 1.0 is out.
I just spent some very long period of time getting [Zo][1] totally set up on my machine. Tagline: ‘Zo does for your email what google does for the web”Basically it’s this Java program/service (yeah, I sort of recoil at the Java part, also) which hangs out on your machine sorts/indexes all your mail, parses it out, and presents a web interface for dealing with the information.

This a) takes up a lot of time and is no fun, and b) completely cuts off my continuity in terms of trying to find something I had seen or backtrack through my browsing history.I also found that thinking about and formally laying out what programs I use, for what tasks, helps to alleviate the issue.I can’t say that I’ll never switch browsers again; I’ve resolved to stick with Firefox in the past and we see where that’s gotten me…. Plus it’s got a big flexible database for notes or characters/places/anything else to help you keep track of what’s going on. I do wish it had a full-screen mode, though.* Reading: There’s an awful lot of literature worth reading available for free on the web.
