Dozens of iPhone Apps Free on Black Friday

PaulSpoerry | November 29, 2008

Dozens of iPhone application are free from the iTunes App Store. The main App Store page doesn’t mention of the promotion, but by using the application indexer at AppShopper you can search through the free applications. Some of the applications are dumb, some lookpretty cool, but hey free is free! In addition, AppShopper has a price change monitor, so you can keep an eye on applications which may not be free but have be discounted heavily for Black Friday.

WordPress 2.6 Easter Egg

PaulSpoerry | November 27, 2008

LOL, found this over at Holy Schmoly:

This is new to me, even though others have known about it for months. There’s a Matrix Easter Egg in WordPress 2.6 and in the betas of WordPress 2.7. To activate it:

  1. Edit a post.
  2. Scroll down to the revisions section of the page and click the latest revision.
  3. On the next page, scroll down again and select the same revision for comparison.
  4. The Matrix has you..

Danger !
Self-comparison detected.
Initiating infinite loop eschewal protocol.
Self destruct in… 3

1
Wake up, Donncha…
The Matrix has you…
Don’t let this happen again. Go Back.

GMail officially gets themes

PaulSpoerry | November 20, 2008

Gmail fans have been building unofficial extensions to spice up their inboxes for a while, but up til now themes haven’t been an integral part of Gmail. We wanted to go beyond simple color customization, so out of the 30 odd themes we’re launching today, there’s a shiny theme with chrome styling, another one that turns your inbox into a retro notepad, nature themes that change scenery over time, weather driven themes that can rain on your mailbox, and fun characters to keep you in good company. There’s even an old school ascii theme (Terminal) which was the result of a bet between two engineers — it’s not exactly practical, but it’s great for testing out your geek cred. We’ve also done a minor facelift to Gmail’s default look to make it crisper and cleaner — you might notice a few colors and pixels shifted around here and there.

Note that so far this has not shown up on the Google Apps version GMail. Bummer…

Original GMail blog post here.

12 Excellent Free Text Editors for Coders

PaulSpoerry | November 15, 2008

SixRevisions has posted an article on 12 Excellent Free Text Editors for Coders. For the record, I don’t actually use a “free” editor for my primary development. However, since I do web development I’ll end up on a remote session with clients and need to debug something at their location… installing Visual Studio isn’t an option. Luckily, there are some really good free editors and my favorite one ends up first on the list.

You can make writing code as complicated as you want, but at the end of the day, all you really need is your favorite, trusty text editor. You can use a simple one like Microsoft’s Notepad, but oftentimes it’s helpful to have a text editor that has syntax highlighting/coloring, support for multiple languages, a robust find and replace feature, and other features and options that make writing code just a tad bit easier.

NOTEPAD++

(Windows)

NOTEPAD++ - screen shot.

NOTEPAD++ is the premier replacement for Microsoft’s Notepad. It has an auto-completion feature (for most supported languages) that guesses what you’re trying to write, a tabbed interface which is great for working with multiple files without cluttering your task bar, a powerful RegEx find-and-replace feature, code folding, support for a large array of languages (even Assembler!) and much more. These are just some of the features that make NOTEPAD++ my personal default text editor.

Check out the rest here!
