Interesting, Opera, a browser I haven't used much and don't ever unit test code on, is now FREE. Perhaps it's usage will increase. I used to use Mozilla 100% across Win, Mac, and Linux. I don't know why, but since Tiger, I have started using Safari heavily on the Mac.

Squeak Foundation found via Positronic Vibrations From Alto Dorado. I think this is great. I have been seeing some action on the mailing list, and it looks like it has finally kicked the Squeak organization into gear for targeting professional and hobby users.
I have been thinking about a Web development focused Squeak image, that has a more polished look and feel, with a sane group of packages installed, such as Monticello, Seaside, and Shout... etc. I haven't gotten off my duff to make it happen. I think this offering would go well into the Squeak Foundation's CD-ROM/DVD sales.

NerdTv does content distribution right. This week is a show with Andy Hertzfeld. You could download or torrent the entire show. Nice on Cringely!

I installed Ubuntu Linux on my work machine. I had been running Gentoo, but when an update broke my X11 and it took me more than an hour to try to fix it, I made a todo, to uninstall it. I am very happy with Ubuntu so far.
I installed subversion to track all my unofficial code and documentation at work. Revision numbers take a little getting used to, but so far so good.
Lastly, I have given Amaya another chance. It is at 9.2.1 and on Mac OS X and Ubuntu, it rocks! I tried it a few years back and found it totally un-usable. It has come along way. There are still some weird UI experiments in it, but it is polished enough and seems fairly stable.
I actually enjoyed editing a new Spec in Amaya more than trying to use any other WYSIWYG html editor. It isn't as fat as Dreamweaver for instance.
