Just few thoughts for the day ahead:
1. I think there’s a very high likelihood that John Gruber is Fake Steve Jobs. After all. Last couple of days, he’s been at this SXSW 2007 thingy in Texas. This means that he hasn’t been posting links as often as normally on his famous website, Daringfireball.net. Only 3 yesterday, 2 the day before and 1 on the 11th. This is quite few compared to his usual 7-15 posts a day.
Fake Steve Jobs is another busy bee when it comes to blogging. (Actually, too busy sometime, I don’t have enough hours in the day to read all he has to say. Which is a shame because he’s really funny.) But on the 12th his only post was ‘Taking a Break‘. Suspicious. He was taking a break at the same time as Gruber was in this conference.
2. He, Gruber, should send me my t-shirt. It’s really lame not to. It’s also lame not to answer emails from your customers. [Update: If he's too busy to do this, he should perhaps look into expanding his company and hiring someone to do it]
3. 10.4.9 was released today. Yippee. Only one point from 10.5. What makes this really cool is that, if my memory carries well and it does (compare the point releases of 10.3 to realese of 10.4), that after 10.3.9 there was only two weeks to 10.4. I don’t think 10.5 is so close but I don’t think it’s as far as some people say. Another argument for this would be that WWDC 07 is coming in June and I’d imagine that developers would like to have some experience in using 10.5 before they bombard Apple engineers with questions. (Yes, I do realise that many of them are using the seeded builds already) I’m especially excited about its release as I’ve decided to get a Mac mini as soon as it’s out.
Have a nice day you all,
