It’s Text, Mate!

November 25, 2005

Rikki has been chipping away at me for months now about a relatively new OS X text editor called “TextMate”. I’m a long time BBEdit user. I’ve used it ever since version 5 and I’ve never coded anything in any other text editor – so it was always going to be an uphill struggle to [...]

To make the form cleaner, I’ve introduced a tabbed form concept which (via correctly marking up the HTML [...]
