NetNewsWire’s tabs have overflowed into that stupid little these-didn’t-fit menu because I haven’t had enough time to investigate all the things that I wanted to. Time to blog them and move on until they become a higher priority.

• Solr
  • An opensource Google appliance sort of thing. Looks like a simple way to add search to an application to me – just hook it up to fire events over to Solr and use it to catalogue and search. Seems to provide more power than what I get around to leveraging out of Lucene myself.
• Commons Finder
  • Need to find files from Java – this should be useful. Not sure what I had in mind that it would be useful for but one day I’ll need it for sure.
• Plagger
  • Does stuff with RSS and Atom – not really sure what yet. It originally sounded like a kind of base RSS platform to leverage. Sounds a bit like Abdera plus more but could be completely different. No idea really.
• activeCollab
  • Not sure why I’d need this right now and seems to have a fair way to go, but interesting none the less.

The rest is stuff I need to read or respond to, but this should be enough to get the tabs visible again.
