I’ve temporarily added the Flickr Flash app to display my SXSW photo stream below the menu on this site. Temporary because I don’t like the Javascript implementation but I don’t have time to put up anything else right now.
Microformats presentation by Tantek Çelik
I saw these applications on Jakob Heuser’s laptop and thought they were cool:
Textmate (Text Editor for OS X)
It first grabbed my attention because Jakob had edited his color schemes to be colored text on a black background. Silly reason I know but it took me back to my days of programming MUDs back in college.
The functionality took me back too. It was the best of both worlds with the syntax highlighting and robust features of a GUI editor and the aliasing system of Linux. I’m not saying I’m going to replace my BBEdit, but I’m definitely going to play around with Textmate.
Adium X (Messenger for OS X)
I have no idea about this one but it looked interesting and I saw it at the same time that I saw Textmate, so I want to check it out too.

which miht be of interest.
As for Adium – you may also want to look into:
Proteus (now free) at http://www.defaultware.com/proteus/
Similar features to Adium, but more OS X-like.
I’ve tried them all, but now I can use iChat for MSN, Yahoo, ICQ and, of course, AIM accounts, it wins out with its wonderful simplicity and Appleness…..
Have fun….
