I need to resolve not to compose posts of any length in blogger while using Firefox. As much as I like this browser, when it crashes it does so very suddenly and without giving you any chance to save your work. I just spent over an hour responding to Francis Poretto's great post, The Calculus of Freedom. I'm too annoyed and tired to try again so this is all you get. The good news is that nothing I had to say was any better than his post. In fact, this annoyance has probably saved you a few minutes.

My move to Mac has been very happy except for two issues - gaming and blogging. For websurfing and multimedia, a Mac is of course a terrific machine. Games on the Mac platform are often ports of games made for the larger PC market and that means a Mac gamer will have to wait for the port. I'm not a heavy gamer by any means but I am very happy that the Mac port of Civilization 4 is finally here. Well, my copy isn't here quite yet - but it has been ordered and ought to be here soon. The blogging issue is more complicated. I'm not fond of writing my posts in a browser window. This goes back to when I was first blogging and I lost one or two large posts into the ether. After that I moved to w.bloggar - a great little app that let me compose on my desktop and then click send when all was said and done. I have not been able to recreate that experience on my Mac, and not for a lack of trying! I looked at Marsedit , but that forces you to compse while staring at a bunch of HMT...
