Chronos has FINALLY released a mini upgrade to StickyBrain, one of the first programs I registered when I switched to Mac. Yup…

fixed a bug that allowed Private notes to be viewed using the sticky slider in the Control Palette even if Show Private Items hadn’t been selected.

This is the bug that I first complained about on September 28, 2002. I don’t see why it had to take so long to release this, but I’m relieved I can no longer accuse them of abandoning their product. I still use it every day; I have yet to find anything that works better for reminders.

Allow me to direct all fellow geeks towards a guy who modified his sports car to include a full-size PC screen in the dashboard. Too bad it’s Windows, but at least he’s using Winamp to play his MP3s instead of… ptooey!! the default program which I won’t even name. I’d have to wash my mouth out with soap if I did.

Got all nostalgic looking at some screenshots of the new KDE window manager for Linux. Sure looks nicer than when I was using it a few years ago, when we were all excited about the upcoming 2.0 version.
