More useful vim stuff.

"Using vim is like talking to your editor in ‘verb modifier object’ sentences, turned into acronyms." Which is a good way of thinking of it.

Really good look at getting your head around vim from Mislav. Especially on the money with regard to starting slow, and adding things as you need them. The worst thing you can do is _start_ with somebody else's .vim files.

MarsEdit 3 is out; the headline feature is the WYSIWYG mode, but for me, the headline features are syntax-highlighting, support for Wordpress Pages, and integration with Lightroom's library. Sadly, it's 10.6 only, and my knackered MBP is 10.5... but it's an upgrade I'll be making asap.

Yes, this is going to come in handy.

"Zelda Classic is a tribute to ... The Legend of Zelda. It has been developed into an exact replica of the NES version that we all know and love. Beyond that, Zelda Classic allows the development of new quests..." Looks fun.

"Sanskrit is a rich-text editor that outputs Textile instead of XHTML." Also has nicely unstyled 'button' controls, making it easy to custoise the UI.

A nice, quite easy-on-the-eye theme for TextMate. Works equally well with Ruby, HTML, PHP (from what I've tested) and separates markup and templating languages visually pretty well.

"I figured it’s best just to tell you why netbeans’ rails support is so creamingly good". I'm not really an IDE guy, but netbeans does sound quite impressive. Not sure it'll drag me away from Textmate, though.

"Master the Emacs editor and delve into the depths of its most advanced editing commands that have made it famous." May as well start somewhere...

xPad - Garrett Murray's simple little note-taking application - is now freeware. It's simple, and most useful for jotting tidbits down in.

ImageWell looks like the image editor for about 50% of the work I do in Photoshop. Will look into adding this to my toolset for web work.

Hex Editor for OS X. Yes. Need this, if only for horrendous character encoding issues.
