Praised be TextMate and its SVN bundle

It is really unbelievable. This tool is worth every cent. I know I wrote about my affection towards TextMate before but in this very moment I had to do it again because TextMate is replacing one tool after another. I have a subversion repository for my weirdweirdworld project. Usually I edit my HTML, CSS or Javascript files right on the server through transmit (another great tool) but that is only good for editing single files. When I work on RoR applications I prefer the project view of TextMate which isn’t available through a transmit SFTP session. This is why I check out the entire project to my local disk so I can run it in Locomotive. Afterwards I would commit back to the server on which I’d check out back to the real application.

I just discovered the subversion bundle in TextMate which provides most of the important subversion commands, only a mouse click or a keystroke away. It just suits all my subversion needs and it completes my OS X web coding set up.

The tools I’m using for all this Rails stuff are: Mac OS X, TextMate, Transmit, Firefox with Firebug *, SSH, YourSQL, SVN, Locomotive

* The new webkit Javascript debugger called »Drosera« also looks pretty promising but currently I can kill it debugging my wwworld script.

Rub your eyes!

A couple of days ago when I was browsing my new favorite website I found these two posters. The means are simple but the impression on the viewer is amazing. Of course, you get behind the impression to the true image pretty fast but you still feel like somebody tricked you. I like designs like these, a lot!

Design Observer

Quicky Post:

One of my oldest subscriptions in my RSS/Atom reader ist the »Design Observer« blog. I don’t read it very often and they don’t post too much either but once in a while they got really good stuff. Like this post which is titled »The Mysterious Power of Context«. The title is a little confusing though.

TextMate Test

This is a testpost from TextMate to see if everything works as expected. Hmm what about the categories?

>>Update

So everything seems to work just as expected. TextMate is really worth the 39 €. Good Bye MarsEdit.
