This is already a bit old, but I’ve just had the chance to read it… John Gruber interviews Michael Tsai, the creator of SpamSieve and other Macintosh software titles. It’s a very interesting interview that covers a number of topics, including spam (and how SpamSieve works), AppleScript, independent software developers, and more.
Je ne connais pas beaucoup de films d’Ingmar Bergman. J’en ai vu quelques-uns à la télévision (dont Persona), mais la plupart il y a assez longtemps et il y en a beaucoup d’autres que je n’ai jamais vus.

There are days when I hate Word X with a passion. It usually involves documents that I’ve received from someone else and that I have to edit. Tables are often used in Word for page layout purposes, because Word’s other page layout tools are not sufficient. But then what Microsoft doesn’t realize is that, when […]
Looks like the spammers have come up with a new trick… My mailboxes are being flooded these days with messages with subject lines such as “Nümbër 1 Formulä for Men” or “Men, Nö Síde ëffects”. I suppose that they are hoping that the spam filters will believe that “Síde ëffects” is not the same as […]
