NewsFire is free now.
A very sexy RSS reader is now free, NewsFire.
If you’re on a Mac, give it a shot. I find it prettier than NetNewsWire, which is also free.

Intel Mac with broken Rosetta?
Apps like StarCraft, Office 2004 and Flash not starting? Just bouncing in the dock once and dying?
Console.app saying stuff like: “lsf_map: RO mapping #0 not in segmentshared region?”

Application Idea for the iPhone
If I had the chance to build an app for the iPhone, I’d build an old-timey rotary dial.
That’s hot.

Loot
I’m rocking out to a Bose SoundDock thanks to Laura.
And I’ll be the coolest kid on the turf/field thanks to the Gaia Field Bag from my brother and sister-in-law.

Visual Studio on Parallels / Red Steel.
After installing Parallels on my MacBook Pro I installed Visual Studio C# Express to see how it would perform. Without any sort of metrics I’ll say that it seemed faster than my T60, notably compilation appeared to be much faster.
Laura rented Red Steel for the Wii. Um.. I burned through the first two levels and the entire time I was fighting with the controls. It’s not a bad game, in fact, it’s quite good for a launch title. I think that more time with the controller and more time on the cut scenes and this game would have been great. As it is, the control scheme knocked me out of the experience.

Parallels: Windows on my Mac
I have Windows XP running on my MacBook Pro thanks to Parallels.
It’s pretty cool, but feels…. odd.

Mac news that impacts me. And maybe you. But probably not. I don’t know. Maybe.
Mac News:
1. Our friend Jill just got a MacBook. Another joins the flock!
2. MacHeist is offering an excellent software bundle for a ridonkulous price. There is a fevered discussion on Gus’ site, right here.
3. CocoaBlogs is up and running, tracking the blogs of cocoa developers. I did a lot of Cocoa development this weekend. -

OS X tips on the quick.
Getting a Mac after going without for a bit longer than a year leads to me forgetting how to do a few Mac specific and Unix specific things. Thankfully, the intertubes has all the answers I was looking for.
1) Setting $JAVA_HOME
James Duncan Davidson tells us how to set JAVA_HOME correctly. I’m doing some Grails, Groovy and Scala work, so this was important.2) Setting $PS1
If you use the terminal you might as well make it pretty. Daniel Robbins of Gentoo Linux fame has a great write up on ibm.com/developer regarding this.3) Configuring ls to output colours.
Drunken Batman offers a simple tutorial to do this. I never remember to update the man pages for the ls I compile, so it’s great that it’s outlined here. -

I don’t know what made me think of this today. Remember second year when we went to the P.J. parade and never told any of the first years cause it was “tradition,” and when we were running from one spot on the route to the next, Hash wiped out when he was taking a corner?
Memories
p.s. that screen makes your face look blue.

MacBook Pro: the giant slab edition.
Hopefully, at this time tomorrow I’ll be typing away on a new 17inch MacBook Pro. I traded in my Dual G5 about a year ago and I’ll be applying that credit to this beast.
I’m looking forward to “coming home.” I miss applications like QuickSilver and Voodoo Pad. And a real terminal. And a lot of other things.
