Walkietalkie 2.0.0 (Default branch)
03/23/2005 04:56 PM
Walkietalkie is a lightweight application for voice-over-IP
(UDP)
communications between PCs and Macs. It is low bandwidth
and
low latency, and ideal for voice chat during netgames. It
doesn't
require any servers or other infrastructure.
Changes:
Compatibility with previous versions has been
completely broken. This was done so that multiple
GSM-contexts could be used at the same time,
allowing for "conferencing" with the new wtserver.
The server is optional. An input-amplitude graph
was added to indicate the amplitude level of your
microphone. The local address will get logged when
the program starts up, so you can more easily see
your IP address (unless the address is
non-routable).

Tweaking Tiger Mail
Tweaking Tiger Mail
06/22/2005 02:01 AMMail doesn't have to remain in the default state, and utilities to
tweak it so it looks more like it used to popped up very quickly after
Tiger was released. By Giles Turnbull, O'Reilly Network
Tiger Mail screenshot and user interface
Tiger Mail screenshot and user interface
03/30/2005 05:35 PMI find the
screenshot of Mail
for OS X 10.4 fascinating.
The first thing I notice is that the mailboxes aren’t in a
drawer anymore, which I think is a good thing.
A few other things:
1. The toolbar background appears to be some sort of gradient. As in a
metal window, there is no line between the top of the window and the
toolbar buttons. But it’s not metal. It looks new. (The
screenshot of
system preferences has the same look.)
2. The toolbar icons appear to be embedded in some kind of new button.
Whether it’s a new button style or just a look for the Mail
toolbar icons I can’t tell from the screenshot.
3. The mailbox list has a background color. This may or may not be
customizable—you can’t tell from the screenshot.
It’s a good guess that, if customizable, the color shown is the
default color. This is interesting because I can’t think of any
other source lists from Apple that have colored backgrounds by
default.
4. The vertical splitview dividing the mailboxes from the rest of the
window is not a standard splitview. (Unless it’s new in OS X
10.4.) (Actually, I’m just assuming it’s a splitview.)
Note how the apparent thickness of the divider is zero. The horizontal
splitview looks more like a standard splitview—though I’ve
squinted at it a bit and started to wonder if that’s true.
5. I don’t see a status bar. (It could be that, like Safari, the
status bar is hidden by default. Or it could be that it was added
after this screenshot was taken. Or maybe there just isn’t one.
I don’t know.)
So... what do you think?
(Note: remember to respect any and all non-disclosure agreements.
We’re just looking at public screenshots. And these screenshots
may or may not resemble the final, shipping versions.)

was using mutt for e-mail on my IBM Thinkpad running Linux. If you've
not tried it, mutt is really the king of all console-based mail
programs. It excels at making it very easy...

NASA's Genesis crashes
NASA's Genesis crashes
09/08/2004 02:13 PM
Xeni Jardin:
The return capsule from NASA's Genesis craft crashed in the Utah
desert this morning. From the
Wired News story:
The 420-pound space capsule was to have been plucked out of the air by
a helicopter and returned safely to earth. It was carrying solar wind
samples weighing less than 20 micrograms, which is less than a few
grains of salt.
It is unclear whether the samples have been destroyed. NASA officials
say that the sapphire, silicon and diamond wafers that were used to
collect the samples may have been shattered in the crash, although it
may be possible to piece them back together.
"It's a pit in my stomach," said Roger Wiens, flight payload lead at
Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, the creator three of the
instruments aboard Genesis. But Wiens was optimistic about the
opportunity of recovering samples. "It looks like its in one piece,
and we're going to get a lot of samples of solar wind out of there."
