I created an OmniGraffle stencil of the excellent famfamfam icon set made available under the Creative Commons license by Mark James. The first 12 hours has already seen over 100 downloads from the OmniGraffle Stencil website Graffletopia. Check it out here.

If you want to use git with windows, here's what you need to do. This is assuming you'll be using the windows command prompt to enter commands.

1. Go to http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list and download the latest Windows build of Git (at the time of writing the latest one is Git-preview20080301.exe)
2. Double click the install file - make sure the 'Run git from the windows command prompt' option is selected
3. Finish the installation and open a command prompt
4. To clone a remote repository, type git clone ssh://git_username@git_host/path/to/repos local_repos_dir

It's the last step that had me stumped for a while. There's no colon after the git_host and it seems to need ssh:// at the start.

If you need to download an MMS file to your local machine, try http://geocities.com/majormms/. You can then use ffmpeg to convert to a format of your choice, like flv.
