Xcode feature request
Would be nice to be able to turn off syntax-aware indenting within code documentation comments (Doxygen). As things currently stand, Xcode's auto-indenting gets in the way more often than not when writing documentation comments. (Radar filed).

Database migrations
I've just discovered that one of my database tables in a custom system really should have included a "created" column containing a datetime value (it already contains a "ts" column containing a "last updated" timestamp value). Wonder how painful it is going to be to transition... In hindsight, it was braindead of me not to include this column from the beginning, but I was young, innocent, reckless, foolhardy... Hope this won't be too painful.

Website updates
Added more links to the navigation bar ("Other products..." and "Wincent Colaiuta's weblog") to make things easier to find, and updated some other pages (example).

Movable Type
I just subscribed to the RSS feed for my site-wide "activity log". Probably should have done it long ago, but I've just realized that it allows me to keep track of things like what people are searching for on the site (search strings) and so will help me to improve the navigation and make things easier to find.

More repository migrations
Continued yesterday's work of migrating a number of key Subversion repositories onto other servers. This is in part because I want to install Leopard on a separate drive on the local machine and be able to check out the Leopard branches of various projects onto that machine; given that I don't really want to share filesystems between the pre-release OS and my production install (and in any case I'm even less interested in running Subversion on a pre-release system) this means that I've had to move a number off repositories off of the local host.

Branching for Leopard
Given how pleased I am with the Leopard API changes, created a new branch of Synergy and Synergy Advance so that I can start implementing Leopard-only features on the trunk.

Subversion 1.4.0
Finished a couple of fairly painful Subversion upgrades (1.3.2 to 1.4.0) on both my local machine (Mac OS X) and the public repository (Red Hat Enterprise Linux).

BBEdit 8.5
The look and feel is vastly improved over the previous release. Normally wouldn't be interested in paying for an 8.2-to-8.5 upgrade, but in this case will probably cave in: $25 seems fair enough, given that I bought 8.0 back in November 2004.

Documentation
I've spent the day writing documentation. Would link to it, but it's not very interesting (one example)... a necessary evil.

Microsoft innovation
Amazing. In Vista, programmers will be allowed to offer dialog boxes with verbs in the buttons instead of just "Yes"/"No". Wow.

ADC mailing
Just got the latest Apple Developer Connection mailing (September 2006) and am a little disappointed to see that there's no Leopard preview disc in it. Seems like Apple still only wants those who attended WWDC to have it. I unfortunately couldn't go (no cash, no visa). Ironic that it is far easier for pirates to obtain the software than it is for ADC Select members (cost US$500 per year).

Pet Safari hate
Safari periodically forgets, en masse, which RSS articles I've already looked at causing all of my feeds to simultaneously indicate new articles. I then have to display all the feeds to reset the unread counters back to zero. Very annoying, seeing as it entirely defeats the purpose of RSS (ie. bringing sites to your attention only when they update). This is evidently an Apple bug and not a case of the remote sites changing the timestamps on their feeds, seeing as this happens to all the feeds at once. I hope Apple fixes this soon.
