Interviewed on CocoaRadio for Adium
A little while back I met up with Blake from CocoaRadio for an awesome enchilada with an egg on top. Later on in the year he interviewed me about Adium and Growl.
The first interview has been posted. It's for Adium. Go here to find out more.
This is the first part of a two part series.

May 15th Bush Speech Drinking Game
Drinking games are fun, doubly so with televised national speeches. So I haven't found one yet for the speech tomorrow regarding immigration. Here is my list:
The People: 1 shot
Mexico/Mexicans: 1 shot
India: 2 shots
Border Control: 1 shot
The war (since this speech is not about the war): 3 shots
Outsourcing (it's related, but doubt it's brought up): 5 shots
Stephen Colbert's awesome closing speech: 15 shots
Nuclear/Nucular/Nuclar: 3 shots
Lost jobs: 1 shot
Jobs americans apparently don't want to do: 1 shot
Illegal immigrants already in the US: 1 shot
People immigrating right now: 1 shot
Increasing border control with national guard: 2 shots
Faith: 2 shots
Immigration Reform Control Act (IRCA) of 1986: 5 shots
And, to be fair, we'll have it both ways here:
Making every illegal immigrant fear for their lives: 5 shots
Making every illegal immigrant call their family and tell them to come on over: 5 shots
Length of speech time (estimates of 12-20 minutes were given):
12 minutes: 1 shot
13 minutes: 2 shots
14 minutes: 3 shots
15 minutes: 4 shots
16 minutes: 5 shots
17 minutes: 6 shots
18 minutes: 7 shots
19 minutes: 8 shots
20 minutes: 9 shots
If he goes over 20 minutes: 10 shots
If over 30 minutes: 15 shots.
If a group of immigrant extremists storm the capital building, and make it onto the camera while the speech is taking place: 250 shots.

A call to arms
Growl documentation sucks. It completely and totally sucks. Except where it doesn't, but that's a rarity.
So what is there to do about it? I have 2 options:
1) Give up on it. - Not acceptable.
2) Ask for more help.
So here's what is needed. Documentation needs to be reviewed, updated, and made less confusing. The GrowlMail documentation, for instance, documents an extremely old way of installing GrowlMail, and then how to compile it. The user doesn't care about compiling, just how to install it.
So if you'd like to help, please post in the comments here with valid contact information. I'll get back to you.

Growl+Camino would be a cool thing
So the only thing really holding me back from using Camino is the lack of support for Growl. And it's so close!
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=318212 is a post from someone hacking something together. If you think you'd like Camino to support Growl in some way, please go post.
