Text Editors

I do lots of web development and was forever looking for an good + free text editor. For a while, I was using SEE, but the latest version is no longer free for personal use. I looked and looked and looked and eventually stumbled upon CotEditor. I saw it listed as a supported text editor in Cyberduck (FTP client) and decided to look it up.

OMG, this program is amazing. It has everything and it's free!

The main website is in Japanese (of which I can't read a lick): http://www.aynimac.com/

The actual download is hosted at SourceForge Japan: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.jp/coteditor/19028/CotEditor_0.9.0.dmg

There's not a whole lot on the web about this app written in English so I haven't read much about it, which is sad, because a program this good should be much more popular.

I'm so glad I found this!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
