The holiday season is, at least to me, a time for reflection on the year past. In that spirit, here’s some advice: Be honest with yourself; you’ve got options. Even if you feel like you don’t deserve the situation you’re in, you’ve been in it, and that counts for something (often a lot). …

SubEthaEdit and Mecurial diffs
http://iamthewalr.us/blog/2008/11/19/subethaedit-and-mecurial-diffs/I’m a big fan of both SubEthaEdit, a text editor for Mac OS X, and Mercurial, a distributed version control system written in Python. One of the best parts about SubEthaEdit is the command-line utility it comes with, see. At least 20 times a day I type hg diff | see to diff all of the files in the current Mercurial repository and show the output in a SubEthaEdit window. …

WordPress Wednesday July 2, 2008
http://james.schumann.ca/life/wordpress-wednesday-july-2-200.... Press This and the Theme Preview look pretty strong, but the thing that gets me most jazzed is the Post Versioning. If it applied to pages too, WordPress just expanded from personal publishing and CMS to include something like a wiki.

Firefox 3: A Safari User’s Review, reviewed
http://tomsucks.wordpress.com/2008/06/03/macapper-fx3-review...Firefox 3: A Safari User’s Review by Peter Craddock. He obviously notices the huge back button, and while I thought most mac users read Daring Fireball (and thus would have caught his review, which mentions the small toolbar buttons fix. Peter thinks this is just a ‘problem’ and that it cannot be fixed. Next he notices the awesomebar, but he really doesn’t. It’s like he just started Firefox 3, let it import his Firefox 2 data, and then wrote a review based upon cursory
