People all around the world are at this moment raving about a new technology by Yahoo! called Pipes.
Simon Willison says:
“[It is a n]ew Yahoo! service for combining and remixing Atom/RSS feeds using a really sophisticated drag-and-drop UI.”
I guess it is kind of a portal builder which gets its data from Atom and RSS feeds.
I’ll try it when it bloody works because currently “Our Pipes are clogged! We’ve called the plumbers!”…

In case you didn’t notice, Liverpool FC has been bought by George Gillet and Tom Hicks.
Like most Liverpool FC fans, I welcome the money (Chelsea and ManU fans know that without money one cannot win the Premiership) but I’m a little bit afraid of Liverpool being americanized…
Only time will tell…
(An update: this is a Super Liverpool Reds Roster)
(Another update: After one and a half year, most Liverpool fans want the Americans out. George Gillet and Tom Hicks have failed to finance the new stadium and, instead, have increase the amount of debts of the club. In addition to that, they had preliminary contacts with Jürgen Klinsmann (as a replacement for Rafael Benitez) who they discovered while browsing!)
I was reading with envy what people wrote about the defunct Spirited Away application for the Apple Mac. Unfortunately, the app has not been updated for a long time now and it is not Intel-compatible.
Fortunately while reading this, I stumbled upon a comment by someone called pbj:
“It should be also noted that Quicksilver can provide the functionality that [someone else] mentioned, whereby using QS to switch apps can automatically hide all other applications.”
Quicksilver! But I run Quicksilver! And I love it. So I quickly went to check the Preferences and as you can see in the above screenshot, the option to auto-hide applications when switching to another one is found in the Extras section.
One absolutely delicious (and unexpected) consequence is that this auto-hiding also happens when using the normal Alt-tab key combination! And also when clicking on the application in the dock!
It seems that this is my 250th post :-)
