Finding programs

I’m still looking for a programs.  First, the blog updater thing.  I used Blogjet on windows, is there anything similar on Mac.
I’ve also realized how awesome the mouse gestures in Opera are.  Since I love Opera so much, I’m using it on the Macbook and because there aren’t two buttons built in or a right click, there aren’t any mouse gestures.   I’m looking for a way to get them back.  Is there a program to make custom mouse gestures?  I found one the can do mouse gestures, but you have to hold down a hotkey [...]

Mac-alicious

I felt dirty today.  I installed XP via boot camp.  It didn’t look right having XP on here.
Anyway, I’m still looking for a good blogging client.  I don’t like to log into wordpress.com just to write something here.  I’m also looking for a way to have the close button quit the application instead of  closing just that window.  Last but not least, is there a way to turn off the sleep thing when I close the screen.  I only want it to turn off the screen when I close it, not go [...]

Macbook!!

I got it.  Its sexy.  I feel like I’m part of the club now.
I still have a few questions though.  Does anyone know of a good blogging app or bittorrent client?  Can I make the close button exit the program rather than closing the window?  I think that’s all Ihave for now.
Other than that everything is awesome.  To day I’m gonna try to get Boot Camp on this thing.  I need it to run AutoCAD
and Inventor and programs like that for school.
So far I’m getting really good battery life from it too.  I got about an hour and a half last night and that only used around half the battery.  I’m gonna run it all the way down today and see what it really gets.

CCSU entry 5 – Weekend full of FIRST

This past weekend was rather busy.  Saturday was the FIRST Vex competition at the University of Hartford.  I didn’t have to work that day so I volunteered at the event.  This was the first time I’ve really seen the Vex program.  Volunteering in FRC and FLL I thought I should fill the gap and learn [...]
