Asleep at the Web

Posted at 9:51 PM

How did I miss NetNewsWire 1.0.4 released a week ago today? Obviously I wasn’t using the previous version regularly or I would have noticed the announcement in either my subscription to Brent Simmons’ weblog or the Ranchero news feed. And it’s not like I don’t have inessential.com in my blogroll too. Duh.

Apparently I’ve been way too busy during the last week to notice what’s going on around me. Which is something my wife would claim happens all the time.

Anyway, Brent is using the Web Kit now to improve the rendering of descriptions, which is way cool, but it looks like he may not be using it for an embedded browser until version 1.1. Which is a pity since Shrook (using the Web Kit) and Beaver (on that other platform) already have such a preview feature.

Why This Chatter?

The author owns the domain so he’s allowed to prattle on about whatever he wants.

What’s a Blivet?

The Jargon File has several appropriate meanings but the author prefers the common usage of the word.
