I’m currently trying out Movable Type. I like how it feels more clean in terms of design. It feels more Linux-y, compared to more Microsoft-y feel of WordPress. I don’t know how to quantify this feeling, but it is there.
Well, we’ll see how this works out, maybe I’ll switch over some time.
Well, I’ve always wanted to make one for iComic, but never really had the chance/incentive. For a while, one of the plugins for Real Life Comics broke, and no one successfully fixed it. And it became so unbearable for someone, that they posted a $10 prize for anyone that gets it done first. So, armed with my Llama book, I began to tackle the problem. After much trial and error with downloading the HTML, parsing, regex’ing, and tinkering, I completed the plugin!
It sure did feel good. I finally used my knowledge on something useful. You can get the plugin here.
Well, at least for me. I used to be able to use SubEthaEdit under the personal use license. After the release of version 2.5, they have now gone to the 30-day-trial-then-pay-$35 deal. It was my editor of choice, for its snappiness, fast to launch, the ever so useful collaborative editing, and many other features. I now wonder if it is worth it to pay $35 for a text editor (or $20 as a student).
I have no idea as of yet what new features the upgrade has brought. I’ve recently tried TextWrangler is the one to try now. I once tried BBEdit (TextWrangler’s big brother), and it felt a bit too clunky for my tastes.
I’ll update this post after I give all the rest of the editors a run, and get some impressions.
Well, our school doesn’t let us download and use software from school, and I can’t run perl scripts from these computers, sooo…I’ve discovered the great world of web SSH clients.
The best one I’ve found is this one. Just thought I’d share this with you.
I’ve recently discovered a “campaign” to promote Firefox, the most popular open source browser. It is ran by “four politically-oriented friends who care about open source software coming out on top.” I like what they are about, and also like the idea.
