Removing prefpanes in OS X
Just had a jarring UI experience with removing a prefpane for an installed application. You need to ctrl-click on the thing to bring up a link to remove the prefpane. Why the heck aren’t these things draggable to the Trashcan? That’s the default metaphor for “I’m done with this now” for Applications, disk images, cds, ipods, network connections and files - why not prefpanes. Bah.

Random Miscellany
Crikey, its been a while.
I’m sitting here waiting for my preload of Half-Life Episode 2 and Portal to complete. (BTW as I’ve been a sucker and bought the Orange box, that means I’ll shortly have HL2 and HL2 Episode 1 codes to give away, so if anyone want them let me know). I’ve managed to wangle my way onto a workshop in Edinburgh in Mid November. In other sort of work stuff, my boss has said that he doesn’t mind me getting an Apple as a work laptop, which is great except what do I do with this iBook? And do I wait for Leopard?
