Dreamweaver to Textmate
Three months ago I decided that Its time for me to move over from Dreamweaver code panel to Textmate. I only use Dreamweaver because I’m so familiar with it and Macromedia (adobe) products. Here are my thoughts over the last few months in lovely list form.
- First impression are that its very very simplistic. No fancy interface etc.
- Spell checker come’s in handy
- I’m missing Dreamweaver’s CSS helpful predictive code.
- Missing the quick inserts like the html comment code snippet, makes me actually learn it.
- Love that it only takes seconds for textmate to load up
- Load Dreamweaver back up for the sitewide search and replace feature
- Love XMLMATE, so handy
- Nicky at Flame says, “I love how it remembers which part of the code you were at last when you re-open a page”
Download it and make your own mind up.

Marie Curie cancer care
On Saturday I did a sponsored event to raise money doing a BIGZIP across the quays. Marie Curie Nurses provide free nursing care to cancer patients and those with other terminal illnesses in their own homes. You can read more about the good work Marie Curie are doing by clicking here. Thanks to everyone that sponsored me.

Back with a flash
One of my targets over the next few months is to get back into flash. When I first got into web design, flash was my tool of choice. It was basic actionscript before html. Not really the right way. I soon saw the light and focused my time on learning html. Unfortunately my Flash skills got left in the cold. Learning CSS and how to use web standards took priority.
Since then Flash seems to have really moved on. Such as Actionscript 3 and even bloody effect filters. It makes me envious when I see a really slick well designed site in flash using the tool in the right way.
Click here to see some of these sites and a few tutorials that look beneficial.
