  • Zen, Motorcycle Maintenance, And Producing Software

    Posted on Nov 25, 2008 at 8:41 AM

    My big difficulty reading this book is I get divided between reading as a motorcyclist or a philosophical book. :) I was trying to put my motorcyclist point of view into words but just can't. Just go sit down in front of an older BMW airhead and REALLY look at it for awhile. That's Zen :)... read more »

    That's one of those books I've tried reading several times but get stuck in the middle and never finish it. One of these days.... FYI - this book is online: http://virtualschool.edu/mon/Quality/PirsigZen/ - also see the Wikipedia entry for links to audiobooks, and more info. And som... read more »

    Posted on May 14, 2008 at 11:21 AM

    Yes - just something Mark hasn't got to (yet). I know it can be done because Aptana has decent controls - color, bold, italic, etc over each of it's editors - CSS, HTML, etc.... read more »

  • ClearCode Standards Project

    Posted on Apr 26, 2008 at 12:17 PM

    I also find myself coding differently for different things. CF - I like everything tight except for the occasional cfscript. CSS - I like everything on it's own line, alphabetized. jQuery - I like lots of lines and indented code. SQL - I like stuff tabbed so it lines up ve... read more »

    +1 for having Charlie add this to his site - and consider doing this as a CFMeetup!!!!!!!!!! Some good stuff here - but this is such a personal thing I think it's difficult to say "this is best". I used to like wrapping stuff but since I've begun using a widescreen monitor - I don't mind... read more »

    Posted on Jan 2, 2008 at 8:22 AM

    I *REALLY* want to make it to a conference but I don't think it's going to be this year :( unless I can find some unallocated funds laying around the house (doubtful!) or I can convince someone from work to send me... I'm looking forward to 2008 as well!... read more »

  • Attempting Switch To iTunes From WinAmp

    Posted on Dec 11, 2007 at 2:40 PM

    +1 for MediaMonkey on Windows. I gave up iTunes when at some point it deleted/rearranged a load of stuff - I think I was playing with the find duplicates function or something. Anyway - it totally butchered my existing file organization.... read more »
