I can’t prove that anybody is happier, really, and attraction is entirely subjective. For all I know they were run off by the “invalid header” error1 and never even tried it out, but Markdown QuickTags finally passed the 1000 downloads mark on the Wordpress Plugins site. I’m celebrating by diving into nvALT for the weekend, but version 0.8 of MDQT is in the works.

I got bored with the default MacVim icon a long time ago, before I was even using it regularly. I’ve been using Daniel Fischer’s replacement icons since then, but today I got bored again. I didn’t find anything great out on the net, so I set off to make my own.

Here’s a neat little command-line utility for searching your address book: aboo. It’s not complex… it just takes a single word or phrase and searches your Address Book entries’ names for it. It can output vcards and YAML, too. I created a fork that adds a few things, most importantly I extended search to business names and notes. It also does a better job of realizing there’s no proper name and substituting the Company name in the output, if it exists. There&rsquo…

Our pit bull, Emma, passed the Canine Good Citizenship (CGC) test today. If you’re not familiar, it’s a 10-part behavioral test in which failing any part of the test is a total disqualification. Emma passed all 10 tests with flying colors, and I couldn’t be more proud.

The long-promised 2.0 (yeah, I skipped 1.0.8) is finally here. Please download it here, as the application filename has changed to “nvALT” and Check for Updates won’t work properly. It also uses its own preference files and database now, so you’ll have to rebuild your preferences when you first launch it.

I was tooling around the Vim website looking at blogging plugins this morning. I noticed that one of them, Vimpress, had linked to an old project of mine that allowed you to work with Ultimate Tag Warrior tags through XML-RPC. Since the inclusion of tagging support in WordPress, Ultimate Tag Warrior has been defunct, and so have the UTW-RPC plugin and associated AutoTag TextMate bundle.

If you’re a web designer with a Mac, you probably use–or at least know of–CSSEdit. In it’s heyday, it was the way to edit CSS. It’s fallen a little out of repair; it doesn’t recognize new selectors and properties (which messes up color coding and completion). Plus, it doesn’t play well with nifty frameworks like LESS or SASS, if you’re in the habit of using those. My “watcher” script was my solution to the latter. There’s a cool trick…
