Espresso. Time for something new in web development.

I got an email from Jan at MacRabbit today and I’m stoked to announce that I’ve been accepted into the Espresso testing group! MacRabbit makes the best CSS editor ever, CSSEdit, so I can only imagine how great Espresso is going to be. Espresso isn’t going to be a full blown and bloated solution to development, rather it will focus on allowing the community to develop Sugar with it’s SugarDevelopmentKit. Freedom to extend is always good.

Have fun liberating your iPhone and if you brick it don’t come crying to me! ;-)

I finally took the plunge and signed up for a flickr Pro account today. I don’t know why I put off purchasing a Pro account for so long since I know I’ve needed it. I’ll be uploading a ton of photos now so visit often and get a flickr account of your own if you don’t already have one.

mAd4milk is working on a CMS called MooFlex. Here is a link to some MooFlex screens.
“Right now we’re developing mooflex, a simple and flexible content management system: with mooflex you can build several types of websites like simple portfolio showcase, blogs, or bigger multi-author portals.” -Mad4Milk

I should note that if you’re not yet familiar with moo.fx, a superlightweight, ultratiny, megasmall javascript effects library, which was created by mad4milk then you should check out!

The abbreviation MAMP stands for: Macintosh, Apache, Mysql and PHP. With just a few mouse-clicks, you can install Apache, PHP and MySQL for Mac OS X!

Yes! CSSEdit 2.5 has been released and it’s amazing! All the updates to the app are so nice and totally what I wanted and expected to see in this new version. If you’re not using CSSEdit yet then you have to try this latest version. It will knock your selectors off!

I bought TextMate today. Since it’s “The Missing Editor” for mac and I can’t do what I do without it I purchased a copy. TextMate is amazing and I’m glad to support MacroMates and their software development. My design and coding arsenal is getting closer to completion with the addition of TextMate. If you develop on the mac and haven’t used TextMate you should really look into getting yourself a copy.
