Which Apple apps do you use the most?
I’m curious—which Apple apps do you use the most? I mean, outside the operating system itself.

As a developer, my personal list is rather boring: Xcode, followed by Terminal. (I use Camino as a browser and Mailsmith for email, or else Safari and Mail would be way up there for me.)

(I wish I could say GarageBand was high on my list, but I need to carve out some time for it.)

My second favorite Tiger feature
My second favorite Tiger feature is that you when you change the file system via Terminal, the Finder notices right away.

Seems like a small thing, but it’s huge. (Trump-huge. The grandest, most beautiful, most luxurious feature ever.)

New in Xcode 2.0
A new feature in Xcode 2.0 is cascading alert windows.

(Just joshing. I kid, but Xcode knows I love it. It’s like a sign on a café here in Ballard: “We’ll treat you like family. Sorry.”)

About me

I learned programming way back in 1980 on an Apple II Plus, and have been an Apple fan ever since.

I work for NewsGator Technologies, Inc.

I like cats and spaghetti and swimming in the ocean.

It’s so hard to teach squirrels to play baseball...
