SafariStand
This looks really nice: SafariStand. It looks (as far as I can tell, since I haven’t got a Mac yet) like a combo of features you would find in Firefox extensions. It’s free, and I liked this little self-deprecatory remark:

All E-Mail Sucks?
Looks like there is lots to think about when choosing an email client on the Mac platform … no different to Windows in that respect.
All E-Mail Sucks
That’s the only really truly awkward transition I’m facing: How to get my mail from my Windows client to a future Mac client?
I’ve been using the awesome (but flawed) TheBat! for as long as I can remember (that’s 1997). This means the mail database is locked into a proprietary format.
Ugh … I’m not gonna think too much about it now, or I’ll scream.
Another reason (or: nail in the coffin) for turning away from commercial/proprietary formats and to open-source file formats.

Xara Heaven – Dreams Do Come True
Caught up with the big news in the Xara world: they’re going open-source! I can hardly contain my joy. 
Here is the low-down: XaraXtreme and the announcement by Charles Moir on the TalkGraphics Xara forum: I’m a Windows user, so why do I care?
To think that the graphics programme I have loved and used more than any other for years will become available for the Linux platform, as well as for the Mac … it’s just too much. I’ll take the dogs for a walk now – all that excitement has to go somewhere!
