  1. BBEdit 10.1.1 Release Notes →

    I’m always amazed when I see the bugs fixes listed in the BBEdit release notes. Not sure I can remember the last time I ran into a bug in BBEdit. I am, however, a big fan of the change to the un/comment line feature.

  2. Just early enough to my meeting to almost get into something before I’ll need to stop and, well, meet.

  3. You can’t quit being an entrepreneur →

    However, over the past 10 years or so, an entrepreneur has implicitly come to mean someone who creates. A maker.

    Interesting. The definition that has taken shape in my head is completely the opposite. “Entrepreneur” only means a “maker” to me in the context of a creating a business for an exit.

  5. “Bear proof garbage cans are required and must be latched when placed in the street for pick up.” Ok then.

  6. Glad to report my FastMail.fm folders were recovered (was a folder listing bug on their end). No data loss.

  7. WP_Query by “Standard” Post Format

    When using WordPress post formats, you’ll quickly start looking for a way to query WordPress content by the “standard” post format. This Trac ticket seeks to work on solving this. The implementation there handles URL-based requests: http://example.com/type/standard/ quite nicely. However the code in that patch doesn’t (yet) handle direct WP_Query calls. I was hacking on…
