I’ve started using Quix again, and have updated my custom Quix file accordingly. It started because Gleebox began misbehaving in Safari for me, and it doesn’t seem to be actively maintained any more. Then I ended up switching to Chrome as my primary browser, and Quix made the transition easy; all of my commands stayed the same.

I’ve been meaning to make a list of some of my favorite Sublime Text 2 packages for a while now1. The following is far from a complete list of the plugins I’ve played with or currently have installed, but they’re a few that struck my fancy and have stayed in my packages list for the long haul. Some are more complex or useful than others, but they’ve all added to my list of reasons that I really dig Sublime Text 2.

Hog Bay Software is looking for input on their upcoming product, FoldingText. It’s in a relatively early beta state, but it has some serious potential as a Markdown editor.

I’ve been working a bit on Marky the Markdownifier. It’s a project I started back in 2010 and use regularly, but it’s never really caught on with the Markdown masses. I’ve tweaked the algorithms and added to the API to make Marky as useful as possible within my own workflow, and hopefully within other’s as well.

Just in case you missed it, Marked is $1.99 today for Two Dollar Tuesdays. The organizers were kind enough to let me in despite a rule that featured apps have to be over $9.99 regular price. It’s still 50% off, so (if you don’t already have it) grab it while it’s hot!

There are a lot of things you can do with the OS X command. This post isn’t intended to detail them, but a little searching can turn up a lot of neat tricks.

WWDC 2012 is coming to a close. I’m tired, but this week has been great, and exactly what I look forward to all year. See, I don’t go to WWDC, I bum around on the outskirts, blogging, meeting devs, seeing apps and drinking beers with great people. And it’s been a lot of all of that (the latter declining in frequency as the week wore me down).

I left a comment in response to a note from the Ulysses guys on my “dream Markdown editor” piece. It just said “I want a beta.” They let me know they heard me by publishing the quote on their devblog. Today, they gave me a beta, and a hilarious T-shirt:

One day into WWDC and I already have a couple of clandestine software previews lined up. For an app junky like me, that’s a sweet score. I’ll be sure to get the minimum embargo information and let you all know as much as I can about the previews I get.

I’m heading to WWDC today. I’m going as blogger and tech support for Engadget and TUAW, but I’m hoping to have free time to hang out with all the cool bloggers and devs, especially later in the week after the fervor surrounding Monday dies down a little. I’m around through Friday; if you want to grab a bite/drink and haven’t already contacted me, let me know!

I just want to point out that the current Bundle Hunt bundle is awesome. I own (and love) every app included and have half of the books, icons and themes or I’d buy it myself right now. If you’re missing more than $50 worth of the bundled items, it’s worth it. You can always gift redundant licenses to friends in need.

I don’t screencast a lot, but I do it enough to have a set pattern for preparing to record. I automated the process a few months ago and figured I’d share it.
