I swear, my Powerbook is the feistiest computer ever. I just
installed the 2005-001 security update, rebooted, and Finder refuses to
run. It just loads and crashes at about 2 second intervals,
indefinitely. Most of my other apps work (FireFox, Dreamweaver,

First some background: our primary office file server has been acting

There was a series of interesting threads on CFCDev today about
different types of objects, and how they play together to form a
complete OO system. Couple that with a pretty active week in the

After a gloriously long holiday break (nearly two full weeks), I'm
finally back to real life. I won't say that I've missed it, but
it is kind of nice to be back into a routine. And now, the
obligatory quick recap.
Aside from a botched trip to Victoria, BC (things are closed on New
