AC/OS: Cool IM client for Mac people:
Check out Fire, a GPL’d multi-protocol IM client. I like the interface and the security features. No, I don’t use the latter (though after reading this morning’s WSJ about how identity thieves use IM because it can be more secure than email, I kind of want to). I also really like the “tabbed” approach it takes to windowing, unlike iChat (and other clients) which pops little windows all over my screen.

Q: How do I rearrange or delete menu bar icons in Mac OS X?:
I found that if you put a corrupt CD or DVD into the slot drive on a Mac Mini it gets stuck. what I mean is, it won’t mount; if it don’t mount ya can’t eject …err, unmount…it. while hunting for the answer to that problem, which turned out to be Restart the damned thing, I created another problem; I got the Eject Menu on my menu bar and couldn’t figure out how to get it to go away.
I should have guessed it was a easy as dragging an item off the dock, because everything in the OS X interface is that simple. All I had to do was hold down the Apple key and drag the menu item off the menu bar. It went away in a cloud of smoke.
