After a few late nights of off-hours programming, I’m putting Notational Velocity ALT out as a version 1.0. Obviously built on the backs of others, I’m just giving it a versioning scheme of its own to make it easier to track my own updates. It does have the built-in updater pointed to my own servers now, so once you install it, updates will be available from within the app.

As usual with projects I didn’t plan to take as far as I did, my version numbering scheme is, well, stupid. With the next release I’m going to implement my own feed for automatic updates, so I’ll probably reset the versioning to something more incremental and sane. Anyway…

I’m going to have to build a project page for this, and probably set up a separate Sparkle feed for updates on this fork. I had a few minutes while eating my peanut butter and jelly, so I’m posting a new build with a few changes:

Update: I was just informed (see comments) about another fork of Notational Velocity which has implemented MultiMarkdown already. It uses a HUD to display the preview, which may be preferable to some users. Check it out either way, the modifications are far more involved than mine.

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.
