I'm pretty excited that the great Mac OS X diagramming tool OmniGraffle 3.0 is out. I've covered OmniGraffle before (see "Sortof Agile Modeling" for the beefy post), and this new version looks to be even more intense.
One of my favorite things about OmniGraffle is that it's flexible without getting in the way. While Visio may pack enough features to do heavily detailed technical diagrams based on real data, it was never easy to just be able to pick assorted object or other shapes and just begin drawing. OmniGraffle, on the other hand, gives you plenty of default objects to be useful (with plenty more to choose from), but puts no limitations nor expectations on how you use them.
Also in the news lately is Safari Beta 2. I'm very impressed with this version, as the last official beta release (v60) and some of the unofficial ones (v64) were pretty disappointing. But now, Safari is rendering Plone sites correctly, and not having bizarre connection issues to Zope, Roundup, or a slew of other dynamic servers.
Oh, and our playoff tickets for the Jazz came today.
Inspired by Chris Petrilli (and also by looking at the URL's of some other Movable Type weblogs), I've applied an archive redesign. The new design yields nicer looking URL's, such as archives/2003/04/14/comparing_zwiki_code_bases.html instead of archives/002342.html. Granted, the second path is much shorter, but the first one is much better at conveying intent. I especially feel this is important for long entries such as the "Comparing Wiki Codebases" one.
I don't know if I'm going to bother applying the SkunkWeb stuff that Chris does to do redirects from old archive entries to the new ones. I'm awfully busy lazy.
Update: Chris applied the rewrite rules for me, so old articles will lead to new ones. This is done via SkunkWeb, and Chris writes up some details here and here.
