Darn, The Hit List is just too sexy to just pass on as another GTD app. Could this make me ditch Things?
Wow. Cultured Code really underestimated how popular Things is. They slashdotted themselves with an email announcement (RC).
Enjoyed LOTR-TTT on telly. Still ill.
Anyone know an online video rental service that works in Germany AND on Mac OS X?
Caught a cold. Right at the start of the holidays. Just great.

No more Stevenotes at MWSF. Schiller will give the last one on Jan 6th 09.
Wow: “Pangea’s iPhone apps have generated more income than retail sales of all of Pangea’s apps for the Mac for the past 21 years combined.”

Installed 10.5.6 — Mail.app now always crashes after launching. Most awesome.
Mail.app works again. Crashed when viewing a message. GPGMail was the culprit — doesn’t seem to be compatible with 3.5. Makes it segfault.
GPGMail crashes Mail when viewing *any* message, by the way. Not just signed or encrypted ones. Super silly.
GPGMail site says “You need at least GPGMail d55 since MacOS X 10.5.6; previous versions of GPGMail will crash Mail.” Me feel silly now.
I curse you, Eclipse+Tomcat+Axis2! Why don’t you tell me the contexts you deploy to!?
Is there an app for Mac OS X that takes my iCal events from today and tomorrow and puts them onto my desktop wallpaper?
Okay Aptana, that’s it. You’re going away.
Can’t uninstall all Aptana plug-ins. Why, oh why?

“Pano” is a great iPhone app to take panorama photos. Currently stiches up to 6 images. Other apps don’t limit this, but Pano just works.

After the workshop day, I have finally checked in at my hotel. Quite a nice one, actually! Now off for some Italian food, 200 m from here.
