I did indeed install Growl, though I haven't hooked into IRC and so on yet. It mostly just reports music and so on now. @Cote’: nice, need to talk to you more about that.

Rafe Colburn apparently has a horror story to relate. As for the OpenID rejection, that's odd. Symptoms? @Luis Villa: cool, keep us posted on how that goes.

Also, did you install Growl on your Mac? You can throttle it so that it doesn't bug you all the time, but it's great for things like when "redmonk" and "cote" show up in #redmonk without the cheesy bouncing icon.

I had to laugh when I was reading about the monitor issues, I am in the same boat. I have yet to upgrade to the larger monitor and it seems that the screen keeps getting further away or my eyes are just going. :) Anyway keep it up! sogrady,

If it's the former, I can absolutely confirm that that's the case. The performance of 3 is excellent thus far. As for the crashes, no crash reporters as yet: you blink, and it's gone. If the behavior continues, I'll try running it from the command line to see what the output is on fail, but it's been up ever since I posted the piece earlier.
