Yes folks, what we’ve all been waiting for, a new beta of TextMate! I’m really excited. I’ve been checking out some of the new possibilities of TextMate, and I got to say, I love it! It can now be used as a service, i.e. you can use it as an editor while completing a webform in your browser which is really great!
I’m also trying to learn some Markdown and see if I can use it. Markdown allows you to write a text file that can be easily converted to html, with emphasis tags, headings, lists etc. Read the rest of this entry »

I just updated my webpage, using some CSS tricks from maxdesign. Their site is awesome. I think CSS is really neat. The main idea is to separate HTML content from presentation. In your HTML page you decide what the various parts comprising your page are, and then in a separate file you decide how you want it to look. One of the advantages of that, is that it is easier to use a consistent set of settings among your entire website. Also, you can easily offer your visitors the option of viewing the page in lots of different styles! And it’s so easy to work with. And let’s not forget the cool navigation bars on the side, that you can create!
The folks at maxdesign have a really wonderful collection of tutorials to teach you how to do some really cool stuff with CSS. In fact, you can even write games in CSS! Sameer has links to some of them.
Later.

This is my first post! I guess I started this blog partly to rant about my favorite editor, which is, yes, you guessed it, TextMate! TM has tremendously increased my productivity, and also tought me a thing or two about the unix shell. Anyways, more about TM later. Time to end my first post.
