I’ll now be working from home two days a week, and took a work iMac home with me. (Doing coding on my 12″ iBook would be too painful to contemplate.)
So last night, and this morning, I did a complete, from-scratch build out on this iMac. I’ve been building up a list of the software I [...]
I’m focusing in on some very important parts of my workflow. Version control is Subversion. I’m most of the way through the book on it.
Text editing is TextMate. I was trying to use vim, because it’s one editor I can use both on my OS X desktop and SSH’d across the network to linux boxes. [...]

Clearly, I can’t do it all. Not immediately, at least. (And certainly [...]

(Turns out it WAS from Lifehacker.)
So I’ve been playing with BrowseBack lately, and I’m pretty impressed. It’s a Macintosh product that keeps a running watch on what web pages you visit (you can exclude pages like webmail, your online banking sites, etc.) in a permanent archive on your computer. (You can set it to take up as much or little [...]
