FUSE Yes, I can’t stop babbling about MacFUSE. I love the idea of being able to make essentially anything into a file system in Mac OS X. I love that it plays a part in products bringing FTP into the Finder (despite the myriad of issues it brings up, like random read and write expectations). I just want it to do more and more.

The good news is that development is continuing on the project, as evidenced as the recently released 1.5. There is a very detailed, geeky list of changes (imagine the utopia if Apple got this detailed). A couple of 10.5 specific changes stood out to me, namely garbage collection and BridgeSupport.

Now we just need more plugins. More I tell you! How about a Flickr browsing plugin? The possibilities boggle the mind.
