UPDATE

I still seem to be having some problems with the below. So it would seem I haven’t solved it. I’ll attempt to take a screen cast of it happening.

——————————-

For I can’t remember how long I’ve had the most annoying problem when composing a message in Apple Mail where if I type a URL it will randomly attempt to turn the URL into a clickable link. Unfortunately, being a fast typer invariably what would happen is the cursor would be moved to a crazy location (ie. before the url, highlighting a block of text or any other location other than the one I had previously been typing at) thus resulting in gibber-gabber.

More annoying was that undo did not undo what I expected. It would randomly change large blocks that were most definitely not the most recent chunk of text … furthermore, redo would not work either. So by undo, redo, undo, redo would result in insanely screwed up content.

I stumbled across the fix today while looking in the ~/Library/Mail/Bundles directory. I came across ODMailBundle.mailbundle in which I cannot remember installing or what on earth it’s from.

Google reveal several cases of people removing it to fix various problems. Thus I removed it too and everything works really well now. YAY!

Apple has fantastic new track pads on their MacBook and MacBook Pro products. What would rock is taking this track pad and making a stand alone USB or Bluetooth version of it … or, attaching them to one of their Aluminium Keyboards in some way.

I’ve been experiencing a little RSI lately and have been trying to work out if I go for a Wacom Tablet, Track Ball or this morning was looking at the FingerWorks Gesture Pad … which is sadly unavailable :’(

In that I still have not created my own theme I thought I’d change the one I had been using. As a tribute to my friend Mike Tyson I’m using his theme Elegant Grunge.
