So now that I've installed Jaguar I have all these new iApps to play with, today is the iChat day. iChat uses the AIM protocol, and I don't have many IM contacts, but I remembered that John Robb has a link with his IM nickname on his weblog. So I went to his page, copied the nickname and choosed "Add a new buddy" on iChat.

In the window that popped up, along with name and other data, there also is a "picture" field. Hey, John has a small picture on his weblog that has just the right size! So I dragged the image from the browser's window to the field and here on the right you can see how it looks like.

Ok, I agree, it's not a big deal, but it's one of those many little things that keeps me happy working on this OS

One year ago today I was in Florence. As I got on the car heading for home (it's a 5 hours drive), my wife called saying that something serious was going home in New York. I turned on the radio and listened to the news all the way home. I heard them describing the second plane smashing in the tower, then the Pentagon, then the towers collapsing... There were rumors of other highjacked planes, the air space had been closed, a lot of confusion.

I got on-line with my Palm and my cell phone and tried to get some additional info. Scripting news was reporting first hand experiences, the main news sites were unreachable.

By the time I got home, five hours later, both towers had collapsed and the attack was over. I turned on the television and I saw the images for the first time.

It's something that we'll never forget.

John Robb is the #5 John on Google; Tim Berners-Lee is the #1 Tim. Amazingly, Tara Sue is not the #1 Tara Sue. And sadly I am not the #1 Dave, I'm a mere #2. [Scripting News]
