Chris Anderson has started blocking PR e-mails, plus naming and shaming them on the blog. Good. We need to start flushing the more lecherous PR and "Buzz Marketing" people out of the blogosphere. 2007-10-30T10:06:43ZUntitled entry permalink

Another review of Leopard picks up a bug which I've also been having: Spaces does have some weirdness. For example, when I switch to iTunes using command-tab, spaces does not switch to the desktop that iTunes is pinned to. Likewise, when I switch to Firefox, Spaces switches, but the Firefox window is not selected. The app is in the foreground, but the window is deselected so typing does nothing. 2007-10-30T09:54:46ZUntitled entry permalink

Stacks are getting a bad review from the Ars community. I have to agree. Stacks seems kind of useless - Apple trumpeted it as a big enhancement, but for me, it's actually regressive. Looks cool, but not actually tremendously useful. 2007-10-30T09:43:37ZUntitled entry permalink

I am a , an , like to code in and noodle about with and the . I also have a BA in philosophy from London, and am studying for an MA. My philosophical interests are in Victorian-era German philosophy, Kierkegaard, Robert Nozick, hermeneutics and current approaches to the demarcation problem in the philosophy of science. Musically, I like jazz fusion, soul and P-Funk. My musical nirvana would be a mixture of Beethoven, Miles Davis and George Clinton topped with a side-serving of Erykah, Jill and Angie.

I also write for the Citizendium, an online encyclopedia project. If you know about stuff, you should join in.
