O’Reilly: Using AppleScript to Compile and Run Java Code. “This is just a quick tutorial to get you to consider how AppleScript can help Java developers on the Mac.” [mac.scripting.com] 11:05:18 AM comment


I have once again noticed a bug with the way Radio 8 displays favorite weblogs on MyWeblogs.com, since this morning a number of the Radio blogs I had down as favorites are off the list and I didn't do it. Is this because they haven't been updated in a while? 10:51:52 AM comment
