I was reading this post about a Twitter/identi.ca client and it got me thinking about what I want in a Twitter/Identi.ca client. I want some of the things he wants, such as:

• I want to use a single client to manage all my tweeting and denting without having to login and out.
• I want to be able to tweet/dent in one place and have it show up in both by default
• … but be able to direct it to just one location if appropriate, on a tweet-by-tweet basis.

But I want the following as well:

• OS X-native app with a standard UI. Please use as few custom widgets as possible.
• Don't show in the Dock. I want a menu icon.
• Posts from both services mixed in the same list. Some people post to both, I'd like duplicate detection so that I don't see two of the same message (once from each service).
• I want replies to go only to the service the post came from (but to both services if the post was on both)

If iTunes 9 blinded you with its white background in Grid view, then you'll love iTunes 9.0.2. Apple has added the ability to switch to a dark Grid view. Here's how to enable it.

Go to the iTunes menu and choose the "Preferences..." command (Edit>Preferences... in Windows). Look for the "Grid View" option about two-thirds of the way down the Preferences window (It's on the right-hand side). Change it from "Light" to "Dark" and then press the "OK" button to save these preferences.

A while ago, I released my first Habari theme. It's the same theme that this site is currently running. I've given the theme a better, more prominent home here on my Theme Page. Enjoy!

HabariCon starts in a few minutes! I'm excited. I'll be giving a presentation today, so I'm a little nervous. I'm hanging out with skippy at the registration table, waiting for everybody to arrive.

Thanks again to iPony for being a platinum-level sponsor!
