Error Report taken way too seriously
First the error report :
![](http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kqXVUD9G7_4/RvZFEKE-HuI/AAAAAAAAARM/h28GDPPzVDk/s400/safari-error.gif)
Now his reply:
Description: Woke up to the alarm at 6:30 am. Got my son out of his crib, handed him to my wife. OJ + medication + forgot to take my multivitamin. Checked my email, Twitter, etc. Did a couple posts. Showered but didn't shave. Took care of my son while my wife went to the gym. He played on the floor a bit, we laughed and giggled together a lot. Good times. Then he got hungry so I fed him while watching Honey I Shrunk the Kids on cable. When my wife got home around 10am, I put him down for a nap, packed up my bag, and left for work. N train to Canal then a 5 minute walk to the office. Worked on some PHP for a couple of hours, making less progress than I would have liked. Caught a baby mouse in a drinking glass at the office. Went to get lunch with the gang. First and second choices no good, but ended up at an Italian bakery/deli on Mott. Turkey and provolone on a roll with mayo and lettuce, Pepsi, and potato chips (sour cream and onion). Gave leftover sandwich to the baby mouse, AKA "Feedy". Sat back down at my desk. Selected "iToner" from bookmarks list and waited. Error number NSURLErrorDomain:-1005.
Now that's called some detail error reporting, hope it helps apple to fix the bug :-)

Strata - The Data Browser
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kqXVUD9G7_4/RuZZ2BI4aSI/AAAAAAAAAP0/Gc_qbe9ThZw/s400/strata_logo_big.png)
Kirix Strata is a new specialty browser for accessing and manipulating data from the web. View and work with data from web tables, CSV files and RSS feeds, integrate information from web services to create personal "desktop mashups," browse and work with MySQL, Oracle and other databases.
What Can You Do with a Data Browser?
Access Data From Anywhere
Open CSV files, HTML tables and RSS feeds directly from the web into structured tables. You can also easily grab local data files from your desktop or connect to database systems like MySQL Enterprise and Oracle.
Integrate Data From Across the Web
Strata incorporates the Mozilla Foundation's Gecko layout engine, so you can find data on the web and see it in context. With Strata's built-in database functionality, you can go beyond browsing to reformat and integrate data from RSS feeds, websites and web services.
Manipulate Data Quickly
Create Reports Easily
Develop reports from web data, local files or database systems with ease. Quickly flip between page and template views for a pleasant design experience. Creating a report is as simple as using a spreadsheet.
Customize and Extend
Strata comes with a data-enabled version of ECMAScript (e.g., JavaScript) with built-in support for SQL and other functions for data manipulation. You can create extensions or plug in community-built ones or just use Strata's GUI toolkit to create your own hybrid desktop/web applications and mashups.

Ghost - Global Hosted Opertaing System
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_kqXVUD9G7_4/RuDzAhI4aII/AAAAAAAAAOE/xyDFeiZDyas/s400/logo_final.gif)
G.ho.st provides every person in the world with a free Virtual Computer (VC). Like a Windows PC, or Mac, the VC is a personal computing environment which includes your desktop, your personal settings, your data and your choice of software applications. But unlike a PC, your VC is not installed on one physical computer - instead it is stored in a highly professional data center across the Internet, and it may be accessed from any Internet browser in the world. From any browser you can open G.ho.st, enter your username and password, and continue using your VC from exactly the state you had left it in.
