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).

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 […]

I don't always feel the need for a new notebook in I don't always feel the need for a new notebook in the new year, but I did this year. I'm not really kissing 2020 goodbye and thinking 2021 will be better; I suspect there are plenty more curve balls coming our way, but I am hopeful that my mindset for the year will be strong and resilient.
