Watch your feet Along similar lines to Robb and Dave's comments on Apples relations with indepenedent developers, there's been an interesting disuccsion on the carbon-development mailing list about Apple giving away the OSX dev tools (vs buying Metrowerks CodeWarrior tools). Apple sure seem to be busy stepping on people's toes.

jinxed I seem to be jinxed as far as wireless goes. I Installed some updated firmware on the WAP, which seemed to make the Tibook happier, at least iTunes will now query CDDB over the wireless connection. But tonight I think tops the bizare problems list. The server that recently got a wireless card has Apache/php/gallery running on it to look after the pictures from the digital camera. You can view & manage pictures fine with it, but attempting to upload new ones fails misserably, I poked around with the debug info turned on, it looks like its firing up a call to netpbm, which appears to be working, but PHP no longer spots that the spawned netpbm process has finished, and eventually times out the script. I switched the server back to a wired connection, and everything starts working fine again!. I'm at a loss to even attempt to explain this one.
