Blogging from OSCON. Watch this space, link to presentation notes / MP3s should be going up shortly. I’ll be running noise reduction cleaning on those when I get back probably, as I don’t have anything to do that with on my TiBook.

All the Macs at the Apple Expo area (about 40 systems of all stripes) are running Jaguar Pre-Release. XDarwin has been thoughtfully installed to please the nerds, although Mozilla is conspicuously absent (yeah, I threw a copy of 1.1b on the machine I’m sitting on). I came down to check these out, and they run pretty damn fast. As well they should, considering I’m sitting on a top of the line dual-G4/1GHz (GF4MX, so it’s running Quartz Extreme). Some neat things I noticed: the Terminal.app is reworked, much better. It also includes a “delete key as backspace” in the emulation options (Apple-I). Thank goodness.
