Deleting Saved Email Addresses / User Profiles in MSN Messenger Login for Mac OS X
A friend of mine signed on to MSN on my computer and their email address was forever etched in the memory of the login box. I didn't see anyway to get rid of the saved profiles inside MSN itself. Not the end of the world - but a little irritating nonetheless.
Here's what I did to start over again.
Go into the "(your user)/Library/Preferences/Microsoft" folder.
There's a file in that folder called "com.microsoft.Messenger.plist" that contains the saved profiles.
I suppose there's some way to delete out the profiles you don't want and keep the ones you do, but I just deleted the entire file, closed & restarted MSN and re-added my profile again.
Messenger recreates the file with the freshly added profile information and you can add the profiles you want to keep.

canada.com - no RSS?
So, I decided to go through the other day and tweak my news feeds in NetNewsWire.
Had some CBC for provincial news, and Globe and Mail for national and business news and was looking around for a good local feed. So, since CanWest and the local paper - the Regina LeaderPost - is all tied in to this - I thought I'd check out what canada.com had for feeds.
Turns out they don't have any. Gee - I would have thought an outfit like this would be acting like it's 2006. I think RSS is the price of entry to the category these days. And really odd that it wouldn't be included since there was a fairly recent redesign on the site.
Hey, since we're acting like it's 1999 - maybe they could just add a handy link somewhere so I can make canada.com my homepage?
Lame.
