MacRabbit's (who brought you CSSEdit) new wunderkind code editor Espresso has gone into Public beta. I'm a committed Textmate, CSSEdit, ExpanDrive/Cyberduck (FTP) and now Versions (SVN) user, but if Espresso can combine all these into one über app then I'm in! I am aware of Panic's Coda but I've never been happy with Coda's CSS editing over CSSEdit's brilliant (but needs updating: come on with rounded corners and box shadows) capabilities.
I wasn’t loving the default overlay icons for Dropbox so made some new ones.
I have finally made the venerable old WordPress Adminstrip, which Brendan had converted to a plugin, available on Wordpress Extend Plugins. This will mean that any updates will get caught by the clever plugin updating system built into Wordpress and that you'll be able to search for it.
This is of course the original version of the Habari version - hadminstrip.
What you can deduce from this is that I finally kind of understand SVN and might have to buy Versions to continue. Why oh why are SVN apps so damn complex to use with shocking UIs?. I'd really like to see it work like DropBox, or maybe DropBox could even integrate SVN .. now theres an idea.
After a glowing recommendation from Sam of Fruitbytes I did something I never thought I would - I paid for an iPhone Twitter app.
Tweetie is by far the best application for twitter on the iPhone that I’ve used...
The app in question is Tweetie from atebits and it's well worth the £1.79 (or $2.99) entrance fee: A clean, clear interface; Easy to navigate and multiple Twitter accounts. What's more, as you can see on atebits site, Tweetie is fully Stephen Fry endorsed.
So what are you waiting for, go buy Tweetie and follow them on Twitter.
Giving Habari a test on the live site.
The irony of BNP activists' details published and then their cheek at trying to use the Human Rights Act and then the subsequent Google Maps mashup of the list is quite amazing.
A list showing the full contact details of British National Party activists has been published online.
The BNP says the list, which includes home phone numbers and e-mail addresses, dates from 2007 and some people are no longer members.
Why would you join a political party, then want to keep that quiet?
