Dash: snippets & documentation

18 November 2013 by kristarella 3 Comments

I’ve been using Dash as one of my code snippet managers (along with Gist for public snippets & Coda). I originally chose Dash for its shortcut auto-fill features (and it’s free with in-app upgrade on the Mac App Store!), but have recently found its offline documentation completely excellent. I primarily use the WordPress and PHP […]

Edit EPS files in Inkscape on Mac

4 March 2010 by kristarella

EPS files have their uses, for sure, but they seem to be a standard output of Adobe Illustrator, which is a bit sad, because Inkscape (the open source vector editor I use) can’t open them (without some hassle with ghostscripts or something). Recently I needed to change the colour of an EPS image and I […]

10 December 2008 by kristarella

After almost two years of heavy daily use, my poor little MacBook was getting a bit worn out and doing some crazy things. So about a month ago I reinstalled OS X. I backed up all my files and just wiped the whole computer.

Mac shortcuts for n00bs

11 August 2008 by kristarella

Print Selections I felt like such a noob yesterday when I complained that Macs can’t “print from selection” like you can on Windows. It’s probably the only thing I’ve wanted to do that I knew about in Windows and couldn’t do with my Mac. My husband said it depends which program you’re in. I said, […]

WordPress using Coda and MAMP

6 August 2008 by kristarella

Venturing into the world of Coda A few things brought me to test out Coda. When I first heard about Coda I didn’t look too closely because of the price tag, but after Esben’s comment on my Smultron post, I downloaded the trial. Soon after I started testing it I realised that it’s not really […]

Replacing Smultron icons

5 July 2008 by kristarella

Smultron is my text editor of choice. It’s easy to use and has some nifty features that after 18 months of use, I’m only just starting to use. I think it’s the best, free text editor for Mac OS X, and probably even surpasses some not free ones as well. There’s probably some sweet improvements […]

Took a little break to walk around the block tonig Took a little break to walk around the block tonight and these things caught my eye: crepe myrtle flowers, callistemon and bee (nice to see a bunch of bees around!), lily pily, and vine tracks on a fence.

Built the Lego Succulents this week. I like the li Built the Lego Succulents this week. I like the little blurbs they write about each plant, like how the moon cactus (tall one at the back) needs to be grafted onto another to grow because of its red chlorophyll. I wasn’t keen on the suggested arrangement with the small ones around the outside because I’ll have this on a shelf, so I rearranged them, but I feel like something needs to go in the front left 🤔 We shall see!#lego #legobotanicalcollection #legosucculents
Work in progress: micro Hogwarts! It started with Work in progress: micro Hogwarts! It started with the Build Your Own Hogwarts bag, and I decided I wanted to try to do all or most of Hogwarts! I don’t have enough pieces though (I’ve already run out of roof tiles), I will keep working on the tan structures while I decide whether to get more of the same bags, or order sand green pieces separately.
