I have found a nice
little plugin for Address Book, that'll

Well... it actually began quite a while ago, I have just been to
busy to write about it, and it should have been finished by now -
But stuff just takes time... Dong Energy is

fibercables …

Guess "USPTO":http://uspto.gov/ has _some_ common sense as they have just "reaffirmed that the 1-Click Claim is 'Old And Obvious'":http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/25/1933206. They should just abandon software patents altogether, as they are "bad":http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/en/m …

Rumor
has it that this fine december day, Perl5Porters is giving us "Perl

I have a varchar in a
table on an Oracle 8i database, and I wanted to select only those

I really like TextMate but it one serious flaw: When editing a "large" project on a remote volume, saving and switching to and from TextMate is extremely slow due to the fact that TextMate is constantly looking for updates in the file system.

A while ago I switched from Colloquy to Irssi,
and I haven't looked back since - not even once.
