RPGnet has
been doing tower ads, which are ads at the right side of the page
running down. Lots of people have complained, but I like it. Maybe I'm
just weird but I have my web browser window at 800 pixels wide and the
with the banner ad the rest of the page looks better. I think it's
because it was a bit too wide before. Now it looks more correct and
easier to read. People with 800 pixel wide monitors and complain about
the banner ads because they take up too much page are idiots.
I know Shannon and Skotos (synonymous to RPGnetters since Shannon's the
voice of Skotos) are trying to get enough of a revenue stream to make
RPGnet self supporting. I'm waiting for some sort of donate option. I
don't want to subscribe for extra privileges and I don't want to use
the RPGnet store (because it'd be cheaper for me to donate and use an
Internet store with better discounts).

Mac OS X 10.3
has a keyboard shortcuts feature (in the Keyboard and Mouse control
panel). This allows you to assign or change keyboard shortcuts either
in specific applications or globally for all applications. I tried to
set BBEdit Lite's Save As... to have a shortcut (because it annoyingly
doesn't have one) but it didn't take. TextEdit on the other hand I was
able to change the Save As... shortcut. So I think that it only works
for Cocoa applications, which makes sense, and not Carbon applications.
There's this program, Postfix Enabler ($10 shareware), that looks like
an easy way to set up Postfix. You can also turn on the Mac OS X 10.3
pop3 server (I didn't even know there was a pop3 server included). I
mean, it's probably not that hard to set up Postfix and pop3 but a nice
GUI admin tool is convenient. I'll miss SSL pop3 (well, maybe not that
much) but it beats having to install a separate pop3 server.
