macosxhints - 10.4: Remove SSH connection delay
I think 10.4 has a way to turn off IP v6 support. I will try to do that.

OS X Tiger Preview is a very handy image editing tool
MacDevCenter.com: What Is Preview? (and Why You Should Use It)
Ahh, the beauty of standard framework.
This bit caught my attention:
Preview's keywords are not viewable in iPhoto. Maybe an AppleScript will fix that?

This bit caught my attention:
Command-D? Weird.But there's also a bookmarks feature that's new in Preview 3.0.1 (shipping with Tiger) that allows you to add a bookmark to any PDF, or intriguingly any image, or your computer and reopen it from Preview.
You could think of it almost like a browser bookmarks menu. If you're halfway through a huge text document and need a break, you can hit
Command+Dto add a bookmark. The same applies for images you might want to use often.

Building OS X Dashboard widgets
O'Reilly Network: Let's Build Another Dashboard Widget
OS X Dashboard widgets don't seem that complex. The development requirements remind me of HyperCard -- a bit more than DOS Batch file programming but nothing like writing Cocoa or Java apps. The sort of thing that will attract a lot of end-user creativity.

iMovie HD 5.x bugs
iMovie HD bugs
See also this Macintouch posting. I've just ordered my G5 iMac with a 400GB SATA drive nad I'm getting ready to use iMovie 5 (after some experiments with iMovie 2.x on an older G3 iBook -- that was an excellent version of iMovie, subsequent versions have been a bit discouraging), so this is of interest to me.
I hope to update a y2k web page of mine on this topic, but that may not happen until September. I found five years ago that the technology wasn't ready (at least for me), but we've come a long way since then.

Phil has done a great job rounding up information on Google Maps and Google Earth, including a link to Google Earth Hacks. I'll add the last to my bloglines.

Footnotes for the web
Daring Fireball: About the Footnotes
I've long been interested in Footnotes for the web, I like the mouseover techniques some sites use, though I've had other ideas I've never gotten around to tracking down. This site has a good discussion of a basic but very reasonable approach.
