TextMate 2 and the WordPress Bundle

December 13, 2011 | Plugins, TextMate, WordPress | No comments

We’re all excited to see that TextMate 2 Alpha has been released. It was a long wait but by the looks of the Alpha it appears that the wait wasn’t wasted. There’s plenty to be happy about with the Alpha.

I’ve been doing some cursory testing with the WordPress Bundle and so far it appears that only a few minor modifications might be needed to be compatible.

Better yet, though I haven’t fully tested this yet, the changes should be backwards compatible with TextMate 1.5. For the time being it doesn’t appear as thought I’ll have to create a branch just for TextMate 2.

So, keeping in mind that TM2 is Alpha, I’m pleased with how things are panning out. I’m eager to get in to the guts the new bundles and figure out what more I can do to make the WordPress bundle even better (suggestions are welcome!).

Congratulations to Mr. Odgaard on his release. I hope he’s able to ignore the petty jerks who keep harassing him and finish up what already looks to be a kick-ass upgrade.

I’ve been meaning to capture this ‘lil guy since he started blooming. This bud is probably just about 2cm wide.

Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

October 6, 2011 | Computers, Life | No comments

There’s plenty more folks out there that can be more poignant and eloquent towards eulogizing Steve Jobs so I’m going to leave that with them.

Without an Apple computer company backed by Steve there’s a good chance that I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing, where I’m doing it, and would have missed out on some very influential relationships in my life. So I’ll keep this short.

Thank you, Steve.

A few PHP Dev Helper functions

September 27, 2011 | Web Design & Development | 2 comments

I’ve come to be pretty reliant on a few little dev helper functions that I’ve written that help introspect data in a couple of different output methods. A lot of development, especially development with unfamiliar systems, involves looking at objects and their contents.

These helpers are designed to help give consistently formatted output no matter where they’re used. They output specific styling inline to override the current site’s style sheets and output readable, monospace formatted code in most scenarios.

Funny little toad

That funny little toad loves to watch the critter activity in front of the house. Rats, cats, skunks and racoons, all torturing him by lingering on his property.
