Hmm… Coda. Dont think so.,

Written in Plano, TX on April 23, 2007 and tagged with , and .

New app from Panic that certainly looks shiny, but I don’t think it will be shiny enough to tear me away from my first love TextMate. Most of the user interface stuff looks hot, but I am not sure how much it actually will add to the user experience. I have downloaded it though and I am going to give it a try.

Both ginormous in price, as well as storage. I would love to have a 256 gig SSD to play with. Anyone want to give me one? I will write a nice review! Engadget has the details.

This is a hard thing for me to say, since I just love the service, when it works.

And man am I tired.

This ApacheCon was probably the busiest for me.  Between hacking on the secret project, and attending talks I barely had anytime to hang out with the extremely cool people that were there.  Austin was an extremely cool place.
