Camifox is a spectacular theme for Mozilla Firefox 3, especially for OS X users - personally I can't stand the default Firefox theme on Mac OS X - Camifox corrects all of the things that annoy me without sacrificing the native look and feel.

As of January 2nd I've started work at deviantART.com... It's a bit overwhelming and frankly a lot more fun than I expected! I'll probably have even less time for this site now that I'm working full time, however, I'm still around and you can find me over at 20after4.deviantart.com ...

XULRunner and Python could be a pretty interesting platform for developing GUI desktop applications. ActiveState's dragon wrangler Shane Caraveo shows you how!

I have recently discovered a couple of awesome developments which are worth mentioning:

• The Awesome X Window Manager (awesome wm) is a light-weight, tiling window manager based on dwm. Similar to wmii or ion but seemingly more advanced and very easy to use. Version 2 is available from Debian and Ubuntu repositories so you can simply apt-get install awesome ... now isn't that awesome?

Jesse Farmer has a good article at 20Bits critiquing 4 Problems with Drupal. The problems that Jesse points out are very relevant and this is really worth reading if you are looking into Drupal.

Note: VectorMagic is an awesome piece of software online service that will vectorize your images to SVG or EPS format. It does a much better job than adobe illustrator or other similar "tracing" software, however, the price that they have decided to charge ($2.50 per image) is not so awesome. Uploading photos to an online service for processing is an inconvenience compared to using desktop software, however, the superior quality provided by VectorMagic outweighs the slight inconvenience. When using a free service there isn't much concern about inconveniences, however, they are now charging a very premium price for the same service. Adobe or Google should buy this company and quickly. Their business model is flawed, I can't see them making it as a start-up.

From an article on TorrentFreak.com:

After taking control of Shareaza.com, imposters trying to pass themselves off as an open-source dev team have stepped up their action to destroy the GNU GPL licensed project. In an audacious move, lawyers representing Discordia Ltd have filed to register the “Shareaza” trademark at the US Patent Office.

The real site is at http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/, meanwhile the Shareaza.com site has been taken over by an impostor.
