Mario pointed me to extisp.icio.us, the "del.icio.us graph", which visualizes your entries (or rather, your tags) in del.icio.us, the social bookmarks manager. My graph can be found right over here. I seem to collect way too much links about XML and blogging...
While the graph is more or less a toy, flickr's new moblogging feature is a killer. It turns this incredible social software for photo sharing into a powerful personal publishing machine. Looks like I need to get a mobile phone with a camera now. Or get a mobile phone at all, for that matter. This is great news. I really like those friendly geniusses at flickr always finding the time to listen to their users and implementing features with speed and style. Highly recommended.
For an overall very interesting and wonderful job I do at the moment I have to go back to Linux as my desktop environment. Now, every fierce fight among geeks about the usability of operating systems that involves Mac OS X bascically boils down to someone eventually mumbling "... but it's only got ONE MOUSE-BUTTON!". Well, to tell the truth, I couldn't care less. As a matter of fact I'm just so much more productive using this one-button environment than I'm on Linux.
I actually have a soft spot for Linux somewhere in my heart (although I feel much more at home on a NetBSD system). It's free, it's geeky, it's not Microsoft, what's not to love? I also have to admit that I've not been using Linux on my desktop for quite some time now, so I might miss some part of the magic: as a co-worker remarked when he saw me doing my kernel configuration with the console-based "make config": "It's been quite a while since you last used Linux, eh?". Heck, I didn't even know they had a working curses front-end now. He even mentioned a GTK kernel configurator. Pah, kids these days, they have it too easy...
But although Linux has matured quite remarkably (and VMWare has become extremely nifty), it's still plain ugly when it comes to the desktop. Note that I'm desktop-agnostic: I'd use both KDE or Gnome, but both still just don't cut it. I've lost count how many times I cursed out loud due to the absence of Mac OS X's wonderful Exposé feature. I can happily live without multi-buttoned mice and virtual desktops any day, as long as I have Exposé. Oh, and Aqua. And the iApps. And SubEthaEdit. And working hardware detection. And a delicious BSD system underneath it all....
