macosxhints - How to work with MHTML files
Microsoft's MHTML is a net standard -- RFC 2557. I wish Firefox & Safari supported it natively. Oddly enough GraphicConverter is suposed to add translation support for it.

Size matters -- but not megapixels
Digital Sensor Size
For the same megapixels and lens quality, a larger sensor gives a much better print. The author doesn't mention light sensitivity, but I believe the larger sensors (esp. CMOS) also capture more light.
That should be our plea to camera vendors. Keep your $#@ megapixels (6 is enough). Give us bigger sensors and better light sensitivity (ISO 800 equivalent with low noise).
Since all three of these cameras are nominal '3MP' cameras, we can predict that results from the D30 will be better than those from the Coolpix 995, which will in turn be better than those from the Xi, assuming we use a lens of the same optical quality on each camera.

Copernic Desktop Search - AOL's pending solution
Copernic Desktop Search - The Search Engine for Your PC
This has gotten some good reviews. It covers a lot of file types, and one can specify the location of the index files (you don't want to back these up, so they should be stored in a folder that's excluded from backup).
It does not index Eudora data - only Outlook. I can't tell if it supports indexing of a network drive, probably not.
Yahoo is partnering with X1. At the moment X1 and Copernic may be in the lead, with MSN next and Google lagging. Google has to get in gear.
I'll probably opt for X1/Yahoo eventually, but I'd like to see Google improve.

Gmail Notifier: change behavior of mailto link
Gmail Notifier
I'm not sure I want this notifier function, but I do need to override the behavior of the mailto link and I find it faster to email via Gmail than to fire up Eudora (a long story, I'm looking for a Eudora replacement). So I'll try it out ...

Wikipedia has a good Gmail entry
Gmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I blogged on problems with Wikipedia in my "Notes" page. This is the opposite: something interesting. An entry on Gmail with quite a bit of interesting information.

iPhoto to Flickr: open source application
Speirs.org :: Flickr Export Plugin for iPhoto
Another tool for iPhoto to Flickr export. This one is open source.
The better iPhoto/Flickr becomes, the more likely I'll switch from Smugmug to Flickr. I don't care about the image sharing -- I only share images within a small group of grandmother, aunts, etc. The integration is great however.
Flickr is benefitting from geek community support. Smugmug has to either figure a way to do the same, or they have to invest in OS S support.
PS. MacWorld is Jan 10th. It's rumored that iLife will be updated, possibly with iPhoto 5. That's what I'm interested in. Of course if iWorks has a solid non-Word-like WP/Layout application with an open file format -- well ...
