Miscellany
According to the developers, the latest Chimera builds are very stable and offer a bunch of new features. Of particular interest:
Rendezvous support was added, allowing you to see local servers (for OS X 10.2.3 and later, enabled via a hidden preference)
It looks like this just shows FTP servers (like the newest version of Transmit also does). It would be neat to auto-discover HTTP services, as well, though I assume this would require modifying Apache as Apple has the FTP server, making it Rendezvous-aware.
In other news, yet another reason to use Perl: Perl Powers Christmas:
The elves also encountered a growing problem from e-mail spam. For a while, they naively assumed that Santa should be sending viagra and his bank details to relatives of the President of Nigeria, but eventually they twigged that odd things were afoot. A bit of research, and some help from the Perl community, led them quickly to Mail::Audit and spamassassin as an optimal filter.

Another cool thing about this release is that you can enable popup blocking within the preferences panel rather than having to edit the user.js file manually.
Out of curiosity, either of you having problems with MT comment/trackback popups under Chimera? When I click on an MT popup link, the window pops up properly-sized, but the content is skewed off the left-hand side of the window and is inaccessible short of resizing the popup window.
Granted, this is bound to be some sort of odd Chimera bug, not an MT thing, but I'd like to rule out it being something perculiar to me.
Oh well leave it to me to jump the gun. It was, in fact, peculiar to me. Or rather to the specific site I've been working with for the past 24 hours.
Nevermind.
