"Ondra Cada just released OCSmart Hacks 2.0 which brings full Tiger support. OCSmart Hacks is a service bundle that adds several features to any Cocoa-based Mac OS X application. These features include: The main menu can be popped up anyplace, anytime; tear-off menus; resizing a window by any edge;"

etc. Flip listed a lot of features, click on the link to his weblog above or the link to OCSmartHacks to find out more. I just tried out the Tear-off menus feature, it works great! Thanks for the info Flip!

TSN on NHL/PA negotiations: Done Deal!

TSN.ca: NHL, NHLPA reach tentative deal

"The NHL and NHL Players' Association have finally reached an agreement (pending ratification) on a new six-year collective bargaining agreement that - if approved by the NHL board of governors next Thursday and the rank and file membership of the NHLPA next Tuesday - will officially end the stalemate on July 21.

The agreement, a complex document reportedly numbering more than 600 pages, came after the two sides staged marathon negotiating sessions for nine consecutive days. Since the 2004-05 NHL season was officially cancelled on Feb. 16, the league and union have met on 82 occasions, leading to an agreement that will revamp the way the entire professional hockey industry conducts its business."

It's about time! If the NHL and NHLPA don't ratify this, I fear Canadians will arm, mobilize, and forever lose their reputation as peaceful, friendly people. ;-)

Limi’s Plone presentation at EuroPython 2005

Plone.org: Slides from the Plone presentation at EuroPython 2005 available

I've been away from Plone for most of the year, busy with school and currently with Java-based projects. I didn't know much about Plone 2.1, except that it's another big, important release with serious goals. Good to see Limi says its "the first release that doesn't suck". :-) From what I read, at least in the areas Limi mentions improvements in, definitely the suck-factor will be way down in those areas, and the sweet-factor is way up.

I was also pleased to read Plone 2.1 is aiming for (or has already achieved) compatibility with Zope 2.8, which I feel is very important for Zope and Plone from a scalability and reliability standpoint.

When 2.1 is released, try it out. Hopefully the installers ship with Zope 2.8. :-)
