Textmate alternative? for Windows

Jul 29, 2008 | Tips, Tools

I love Textmate but its only available for Mac Os X.   : (    That is the problem for user like me use Windows as main OS. By the way, i tried to search a powerful text editor to replace notepad and dreamweaver.

I found 2 softwares that almost simillar to textmate. not 100% but yeah.

1. Intypeintype.info

Current release – 0.3.x. Sitll alpha.

Free

2. E-texteditore-texteditor.com

Current release - 1.0.24

Trial for 30 days. Full version $34.95

Quick review

Interface

Function and Preference. – I prefer E.

setting

Bundle – E offer more. But you don’t have to worry about xhtml and css. Both included.

setting

Speed – intype load faster than E. I feel intype more lighter than E. E-text editor takes some time to load.

Theme – E-text editor gives more preset theme and more option to edit the text color, bg color, gutter and more… while intype just like 17 preset themes and it is not editable.

So which one is the best?

If you dont want to invest some money. Just use intype. It is good enough to handle css, xhtml, js or php. Else just buy E. Its worth i guess.

Wordpress Help Sheet

Jul 21, 2008 | Tips, Tools, Tutorials, Wordpress

First, i would like to thank Wpcandy & Liquidicity for release a great wp help sheet that help improve my productivity. You can download the .pdf from here 592kb

I like the sheet but it is in .pdf file. The thing is i don’t like the format. It’s big in size and difficult to copy and paste the code. So i decide to transform the whole thing to .html file. Yeah! Light and smaller size, guess what? 10kb.

What is WP Help sheet?
It is just a file with all common code that most wordpress developer use in wp.

Why we need?
Huh? It save time btw. You don’t have to search Google or open theme file just to search one code. Increase productivity

Just print and paste it on the wall beside the screen. Have a nice day.
