Markdown QuickTags, my WordPress plugin which adds extensive Markdown features to the HTML editor, has been upped to 0.7. The download link has actually been incrementing for the last week, but this is the first real stable release, so I’ve held off on writing this up until today.

This is a quick test from the VimPress script to see if I can blog from Vim. I’ve got Vim pretty pimped out now, with great themes, great plugins (git support, auto-pairing, auto-completion, Zen Coding, etc.), and I’m getting a feel for the commands.
I agree with a lot of what Neven Mrgan has to say, and hold his opinions in high regard. Case in point: his piece on “The Walled Garden.” However, his most recent post, in my opinion, requires a response. It’s a mundane issue, and so is this counterpoint, but I just couldn’t let it go.

I needed a script send an SMS today, and I found a very handy post at sudocode to send one via Google Voice, using PHP. I wanted to make it a little more command-line-friendly, so I rewrote it (ham-handedly) in Ruby and added some options parsing to it. It’s designed for — and only tested on — OS X, but may work fine elsewhere.
