After using Things since its release I’m switching to a combination of iOS apps and Google Tasks. It is not a great experience, but it means I don’t have to remember to sync before I turn off my computer or leave my house.
Cultured Code customers have been waiting more than a year now for “Cloud Sync” and really it is just time to move on.
The frustrating part for me is their excuses for the delay. They are all about problems that I don’t have. I will update to iOS 5. I don’t want an account on their servers, I don’t care if it is free.
Honestly, they should have just used iCloud. They could have made it a new version, I would have bought it.
With their last official blog update in August. And with a portion of their team working on “the fourth alpha” of some “top secret project” it is pretty clear they don’t really care.
It’s sad. And I’m sad.
I’m really going to miss it.
I am re-blogging this because I know I have at least one opinionated expert that follows my twitter and I’d love to know what he things about this.
I won’t go as far as saying you need to switch. But, Sublime Text 2 is very interesting. Worth a try at least.
Hello, fellow code monkeys.
Look at your editor. Now back at mine. Now back at yours. Now back to mine. Sadly your editor is not like mine. But if you stopped using noob-scented editor, and switched to Sublime Text 2, your editor could look like mine.
Look down. Back up. Where are you?
You are on a desk with the editor your editor could look like.
What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it! It’s a package control with several handy plugins that you would love. Look again. The plugins are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your editor looks like Sublime Text 2 and not Eclipse.
I’m on a horse.
The TextMate team has a much better solution!
- Preferences → Bundles → Click Themes → Check Solarized
Put the font preferences in the preference file
~/.tm_properties#settings fontName = "Anonymous Pro" fontSize = 14
The TextMate 2 Alpha is great. Evolutionary, not revolutionary, but a solid upgrade to a real workhorse.
So that you can run TextMate and TextMate 2 at the same time the default location for bundles has changed:
~/Library/Application\ Support/Avian/Bundles
Themes now live in a Bundle.
Once you created the directory you can either try and customize the existing Themes or add new ones to the Theme Bundle that is created when you try to customize the existing Themes.
I have added fonts to the Solarized theme because right now TextMate2 refuses to save them. If you don’t like my choices then fork me - https://github.com/agileanimal/Themes.tmbundle - otherwise you can get the hookup with a little:
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Avian/Bundles
git clone git://github.com/agileanimal/Themes.tmbundle.git
If you are an Android Developer, this is probably something you should take a look at.
This one had me stumped for a bit installing 1.9.3…
select setval(‘public.users_id_seq’,(SELECT max(id) +1 from public.users));
It stores Ruby code and objects.
But the real question is will I fit in there too?
Thanks for changing the world, Steve.
