A new PDF viewer is out, with the admittedly not terribly exciting name of PDFView. But don’t let that fool you, this editors rocks! Lightweight, allows pdfsync, automatically resizes to an appropriate size, and all the other goodies one might want. And did I mention lightweight? Plus, I really like the icon! It is now officially my new favorite PDF viewer.
The developer, Andrea Bergia, is extremely responsive and this little app already shows great promise! I encourage you all to support Andrea and PDFView. Keep up the good work Andrea!

So true, so true:
Bright, Patient Design is knowing that you are going to need to tell people what they want, but having the patience to know they need to discover they need it. It is choosing to stay out of their way while they make this discovery and then, when they’re ready to learn, showing them you can make their life better.
Bright Patient Design acknowledges you are going to make big decisions for your users. You are not going to present every possible bell and whistle. You are going to give them the one bell they need and you’re going to ring it sweetly and they’re going to realize that you’re a better bell ringer than they are.
This so accurately describes all that’s wrong with programs like Microsoft Word, and what’s so great with programs like TextMate.

Update: This post now hosts two commands, the second one performing aligning operations.
Another entry by the LGFT project. This time, we’ll create a command that allows you to quickly fill rows in columnar editing mode in TextMate with expressions depending on an ever increasing number. For instance we will be able to easily create this:
Hey t1here
Hey t4here
Hey t9here
Not that you would ever want something like that 
Anyway, first we’ll see the command, then we’ll see the three modes of usage it has, and finally we’ll talk about how the command works.

In the previous tutorial we saw how to load some basic libraries and interact with the user using those. That post was not so much about Ruby as it was about TextMate. In this post we return to talking about Ruby, in particular some of its methods for manipulating strings. Along the way, we’ll see how to use the txmt: scheme.

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.
