Blogging Roller

After reading Matt's post, I was a little concerned about Powerbook performance. I'm not concerned anymore. On my Powerbook (1.5GHz, 1.25GB RAM) a full Roller build takes 53 seconds. On my Windows XP desktop box (2.4GHz, 1GB RAM), a full Roller build takes 45 seconds. I don't even notice the difference.

I have to retract the bad things that I said about Eclipse and Fire. I've been using Eclipse 3.0 M8 on MacOS for a couple of weeks now and, while it is not pretty or as snappy as the Windows version, it is definitely usable. Kudos to the Eclipse and SWT developers. I stuck with Fire and it has really grown on me. I use it for IRC, AIM, and YahooIM and I enjoy it as much as I do Trillian on Windows. I'd like to see more IRC features, but that's my only complaint.
