Chimera 0.6 - Nighly Build download Recommended Not recommended by me (as I haven't done it yet), but by the project itself. It doesn't look like they've fixed the most needed feature for me. The "view selected text" feature that Mozilla has. My default browser has changed from Chimera to Mozilla on the Mac because of this feature. Of course, this feature is only needed when I'm blogging a lot and since that has been sporadic lately, I might switch back to Chimera.

I found out at work yesterday that there's a fat chance of getting a better desktop. So my Powerbook has now become my in-the-office development environment. I don't mind, I just wish BBEdit had a Homesite-like Explorer window. Of course, since there is no Explorer and Finder sucks, this might be wishful thinking. Also, I'd love for a CVS app like TortoiseCVS for the Mac - sure makes things easier. I'm a GUI-guy, can you tell ;)

In an effort to satisfy my Windows-app-cravings, I just downloaded the Virtual PC 6 upgrade [screenshot]. Version 5 sucked as it was soooo slow. And I really had no need for it, as I could use Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection client to connect to my Windows machine. Now that I'm in the office, this is no longer an option. I hope this is faster than the 700Mhz/128MB machine at work! Posted in Mac OS X at Dec 21 2002, 04:13:43 AM MST 2 Comments

Oooh, I like the updated Chimera - now with crisper icons.

You ought to try MacCVS Client. It the best GUI client I have found for OS X so far. I don't mind jCVS either.
