I don't check my email for two days, and this happens. To be fair, I had ~200 before, and probably three quarters of those are from Twitter, Gowalla, Tumblr and other made up words.

Basically, if you've emailed me or @replied to me and haven't got an answer, you probably won't be getting one until my tests are over this week. Sorry :(. Wish I didn't need to sleep, think of all those wasted hours.

In other news, I need coffee. And some sleep. And why do people say gotten when they could just say got? Its one less syllable, and half the letters! That means its healthier. Think about it, if you eat half as much alphabet soup, you're only eating half the kJ's and processed artificial flavourings. As opposed to those organic artifical flabourings. Wait, what's a flabouring? Is that what you become if you eat too much alphabet soup?

Going nature hiking up there tomorrow. Looks nice… other than their typesetting!

The Spirit of Progress in Melbourne. My favourite design period is still the 20-40s. Art deco and such. I LOVE IT!

That's a rather presumtuous presumtion Apple! I could have phrased that phrase better. I could be using Stanza instead, an application that's also free and is far more customisable. It lets me adjust the margins!

When I have more time I'll be doing my review of reading eBooks on the iPhone 4's screen… so far its been amazing. But iBooks isn't so crash hot. Maybe I'm just bitter that they stole the name from the iBook line of notebooks of which I'm a proud owner. That little 12" iBook G3 go me through high school, and was a great conversation starter for a shy nerdy dweeb ;).

If you're a TextMate user like moi, you're eyes aren't decieving you, revision 1616 was pushed through this morning! I'd almost forgotten what the software update window looked like in this app!

Ch… ch… ch… changes

If you update you'll get the full list of changes, but these in particular had me jumping up and down with delight:

[NEW] Included Make bundle among the default bundles.

[FIXED] Solved problem with broken application after software update. Ticket D8B9A720.

[CHANGED] Change next/previous file tab key equivalents to shift command [ and ]. This has become the de facto standard.

[FIXED] On Snow Leopard TextMate should no longer lose last used folder for Save As. Ticket FEE58154.

That’s pretty freaky Bowie

Funnily enough, the last major update was also in November, in 2009. And no, the irony didn't escape me that I'm making a joke about updates considering November has been the quiestest month on this site in years. I've been busy! Super busy! Super freak! Wait, that's Rick James, not David Bowie. Or Major Tom.

In my personal and completely umbiased opinion, Vim/Cream/MacVim is great for editing all kinds of configuration files and scripts, NetBeans is suited for those large and unwieldly Java projects which fortunately I've been spared from lately, and TextMate with the right bundles and tmproj's is simply superb for small to medium projects.

As I've said before, I've also started using and appreciating gedit when I'm on my Fedora ThinkPad or my FreeBSD tower, but I don't admit to that. Serious geek cred would be lost. Right?

Oh yeah, and I… cough… still use the IBM E Editor in DOSBox with Steve Gibson's provided syntax highlighting app in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Feel free to start wailing on me with bats now.
