More News, Less Junk, Faster

Category : Technology/netnewswire2.txt

is how Brent Simmons, the author of NetNewsWire, describes using his product. I'm using NetNewsWire more and more these days. It allows me to skim through a lot more web sites than I coud do if I visit each manually, especially if I'm on a slow dial-up line.

There's an interview with Brent Simmons that makes interesting reading, especially if you're wondering if Mac developers are somehow different from Windows developers.

Sendmail Enabler updated (ver 1.01)

Category : Technology/sendmail101.txt

I've made Sendmail Enabler work even if the user hasn't loaded the DevTools CD.

Sendmail needs a program called m4 to be in the user's /usr/bin directory but m4 only comes with the DevTools CD. So I'll simply copy my own copy of m4 over to the user. Unless I discover something new, or do something more in future, he'll have no other use for the DevTools CD.
