Don’t like the layout of your favorite application?
Don’t have the source code? Not a
problem if it’s a Cocoa app. (via DUH

Volker Weber has the

eleven.

Tim
Bray points to a
thread on SkyScraper City with a whole mess of transit maps. I
first noticed SkyScraper City in my referer logs a while back when one
of their threads linked to one of the pictures
from my Singapore trip.

Eric’s
Weblog: “John Chang just posted a terrific list of debugging
techniques for Mac OS X. I’ll add a few random ones of my own…”

MacNN: “Trans Intl. today
announced a 1GB DDR266 memory modules for the 12″ Powerbook G4…”

MacNN: “The Big Nerd Ranch
will launch its revised Cocoa training class September 22-26, which has
been modified to incorporate new features being added to the Panther
release of the Mac OS X operating system and developer tools.” Unless
all the participants are required to sign an NDA, does that mean Panther
will be out by then? The quote on the Big Nerd Ranch site says this,
however: “Why would we teach students to use Project Builder just weeks
before it is discontinued?” I’m not sure what to make of it.

Russell
Beattie: “Check out this video of a simple development demonstration
using the new Windows Mobile 2003 Smartphone SDK and Visual Studio .Net. If
you’re a Java, Linux, Palm or Symbian developer, I want to ask you how much
effort you’d need to go through to duplicate that demo - it was pretty
impressive.”

I wrote about something
earlier that I thought was the final word from Verizon on the Express
Network Minutes of Use situation. Today I called to add some form of
Express Network to my Verizon account. The CSR asked me if I was
planning to connect a laptop to the phone and explained my choices. The
first choice was to stay with what I had now: use my America’s Choice
plan minutes every time I connect! The second choice was unlimited
Express Network ($79 a month). Since I’m just using this to develop
some examples for a couple of books on wireless, I figured I’d stay with the
Express Network Minutes of Use plan. However, a recent
posting to alt.cellular.verizon will keep me checking my unbilled
activity:

…
I called VZ support. First I got this speech about how some people were
“getting away with using EN for free” and “don’t get used to it”…

Memo: “I’m in 7th heaven! I’ve finally found an RSS reader for my
Nokia 3650 called mReader and written by Marke Allanson.”
