A weblog about TextMate, the Universe, and Everything
In the previous article from this series we learned some basic things about Ruby and how to use it to make TextMate do our bidding. In this post, we’ll see how to use some of TextMate’s Ruby libraries to do more stuff.
Wanted to hack TextMate by creating new commands, but didn’t know how because you don’t know any scripting languages or how to do magic using the shell? Fear not, this post will show you all (or at least a small fraction of all) you need to know to use Ruby to write new and wonderful commands. No prior knowledge of Ruby is assumed.
Karen Marlene Lange and Michael Adam Broshi just got married!
Of course, you don’t know these people, but they are two of my dearest friends, and I just came back from their wedding overwhelmed with such joy that I had to express it.
Mike and Karen are both graduate students at Mathematics department of the University of Chicago, and they are part of a large number of “department” weddings happening this year. I know Mike somewhat better since he was my office-mate for many years, and we share a passion for going to coffee-shops with the intent of studying (an activity we call coffee-shopping), but both Mike and Karen are two of the people in Chicago dearest in my heart. They are both filled with energy for life and love for each other. In a truly wonderful ceremony, they brought their two religions just a bit closer. I can’t possibly imagine any two people more made for each other, and seeing them together and extremely happy brought many uncontrollable tears of joy.
So here’s to you, Karen and Mike, may you enjoy your honeymoon in Hawai, and many many wonderful years enriching each other’s lives.
This entry has a dual purpose. First, it demonstrates the typical workflow of the GTDAlt bundle through a (hopefully) easy to follow example. Second, it gives an example, with explanations, of how to create new languages/snippets/commands etc.
