Not so great when you have over 300 tags! Oh well time to go back to Ecto which is not very pretty but does tag search and auto-complete

Gleaned from Howard Forums (and probably easier in Leopard)

1. Download the Nokia 3G scripts (Specifically the script you want is "Nokia 3G CID1") from Ross Barkman and copy them to Your Hard Drive:Library:Modem Scripts.
2. Add your N95-1 as a Bluetooth device to your mac as normal BUT select "Dial a specific access number for your Internet Service Provider" under "Access the Internet with your phone's data connection" INSTEAD OF "Use a direct, higher speed connnection to reach your Internet Service Provider"
3. Username is "fido", Password is "fido", Phone number is "internet.fido.ca"
4. Modem script is "Nokia 3G CID1"

I haven't experienced any of Jonathan's problems. I switched from MarsEdit to ecto simply because MarsEdit can't handle (MarsEdit takes all the CPU time, is it looping through all the categories?) my Drupal sites that have hundreds of categories due to freetagging. I would like to switch back because I like MarsEdit's interface far better. Brent, please fix this bug!

I very much in love with NetNewsWire, however, I’ve given up on MarsEdit, replacing it with the vastly superior Ecto tool. Roland was right. MarsEdit did strange things, like not completing uploads to sites (even though it would post), and taking it’s dear, sweet time when the box was 11 inches from it on GigE. So, if anyone wants a copy of MarsEdit, I’d be happy to give it to them - I’ve paid for both, and will only be using Ecto from here on in.

Endo looks cool. Bugs:

1. It crashed with my OPML file with over 1000 subscriptions.
2. It doesn't have a "River of News" view (at least as far as I can see).
3. Can't drag and drop URLs into subscription manager
4. Can't select multiple subscriptions for deletion in subscription manager.

Still pretty cool for a beta release (like the Growl notifications for example!). I am trying it with a tiny OPML file and it looks good, but if I am going to use this over time, I need river of news sorted by date view with auto expiration of articles. NetNewsWire does all this (albeit slowly and takes up a lot of memory) so I am surprised Adriaan hasn't implemented it since he usually one-ups Brent in the feature wars!

I just finished a bug-fix upgrade of endo. There was an issue with parsing email addresses, which should be fixed and some other minor issues. Some cool guy I know sent me his OPML file to test and it contained over 600 feeds. Once done updating, there were over 10K unread items. I'm humbled as my own subscription list has less than a hundred feeds. I don't think I could handle more information.
