Makes me realise how much I rely on it! Possibly a touch *too* much (although surely their imperative to fix it up and keep it qworking great is greater than my imperative to go and try to recreate a gmail experience somewhere else… if that’s even possible!)

A combination of that and Optus cable internet being absolutely terribe (as usual) has been bugging the heck out of me today… roll on tomorrow, new telstra connection and iinet!

So I was kinda excited upon finding a few neat greasemonkey hacks to get round that… all of which were out of date, however, with the exception of Gmail Add Ons.

Which, while current, just isn’t working with FF3 :( At least as far as I can tell… and I’ve already spent a good 60 minutes trying to save myself time in future so I think it’s time to give up.

Anyone else have gcal working in their gmail sidebar (or even, sob, in a notifier)- by fair means or foul, in Firefox 3?

Incsub has sponsored a prize ($250) at Weblog Tools Collection for the best WPMU plugin.

We’re hoping it’ll not only inspire some fun plugins but also increase awareness of the possibilities of MU plugins…

So go submit your best and boldest.

And you’re welcome to upload them to http://wpmudev.org - but there’s no obligation :)

I reckon if you add it up, over a month or so I probably spend hours correcting myself after the fact.

So… I did a bit of searching and came up with this brilliant application called Texter.

It instantly (if so set) changes every typo back to its correct form, across all applications. Windows only though at the moment :)

Here’s a demo and here’s the project page.

Great shame that the .com is a domain squatting page :(

But being a M$ user since, well, forever… I’ve gotta weigh up a heap of stuff.

First up, as this is basically my business and livelihood (in a very literal sense) what will the cost to me in figuring everything out all over again.

I mean, I can fix pretty much anything on XP… am I gonna be wasting hours/days/more on a Mac?

And will the change in OS be inspiring or just a pain in the arse.

And what of my beloved EditPlus :(

Bizarrely it’s the ipod touch that got me thinking of making the switch, it’s just so much fun to use.

Also, what are the chances of something new coming out that’s, well, better in the next 6 months?

Anyway, just weighing this up myself as much as anything, but if anyone has any thoughts I’d love to hear them!

What’s really really cool about these themes though is that because they’re all set up to work on Edublogs, they require absolutely no code editing at all.

Every sidebar is widgetized, every big header can be replaced through the backend of WP and (hopefully almost) every bug has been squashed.

So with any luck it’ll be of a lot of use to regular WP folk as well as WPMU-ers.

Incidentally, did you know that ‘Farms’ theme packs have been downloaded over 20 thousand times!

You can let us know what you think of it here.

I’m pretty happy we’ve been able to finally get it out, it’s been a while!

But if you really can’t be bothered to click above, then here’s a grab of it:

Although I reckon it looks much nicer in person!
