• 4.28.07 FlickrMate 1.6: Image Uploading posted in Geekery

  Okay, last FlickrMate release until I’ve written about something else. I’m going to do a short series on TextMate’s tm_dialog and creating custom nibs. All the information you need is out there, it’s just really scattered and half of it is in mailing list archives. I’m going to pull it together into one reference that should make things a little easier, especially for people who aren’t used to Interface Builder (like me). Anyway, FlickrMate 1.6…

• 4.1.07 New Feature: Old Post Alerts posted in Geekery

  Introducing a new feature on the Circle Six Blog: Old Post Alerts. I’ve modified Alex King’s plugin to include related posts that are newer than the current post. So if the post is over 1 month old, it tells you in general terms how old the post is, and then, if available, offers newer posts that may be related. Here’s the code…

• 3.22.07 Twitter to Blog and Back posted in Web Design, Geekery

  I had been working on a Twitter interface for the blog that would allow me to do a little micro blogging, but was having trouble getting it to play nice with wp-cache and when it did, it didn’t even show up half the time. So, after hours of frustration I discovered a plugin under development by Alex King called Twitter Tools for Wordpress. It’s in beta, but I have no complaints so far.

• 2.13.07 Autotag 2 posted in Geekery

  I’ve got a whole new release of the Autotag bundle for TextMate, with a brand new dialog interface, progress reporting, and more. It will check to see if you’ve already defined a blog in your headers and won’t ask, it has better error checking, and a supercool interface. It’s so great, it got a whole new version number.

• 1.26.07 Updates coming… posted in Geekery

  There are a few major updates on the way. First, with the release of Wordpress 2.1, quite a few of the template tags have changed, rendering my Wordpress theme bundle somewhat obsolete. I’m studying right now to try to provide a good update and some additional functionality. It will probably be released as a new bundle, leaving the 2.0 version for posterity.

  Second, I’ve found out a great way to add fuzzy comparison of tags to post content in TextMate, using the Porter Stemming Algorithm. I’m waiting for an answer on a question regarding bundle dependencies, but the revised Autotag bundle should be ready for release soon. In combination with the UTW-RPC plugin, it’s working as an awesome way to tag posts quickly and easily, using tags that already exist on your blog. Which, of course, is kind of the purpose of tags.

• 1.26.07 Ultimate Tag Warrior XMLRPC Plugin 1.0 posted in Geekery

  I’ve put together a plugin for Wordpress 2.1 that incorporates a few of the hacks for Ultimate Tag Warrior and blogging programs like TextMate and Ecto. It will handle adding the mt_keywords header into the new, edit and retrieve post commands. It also adds a hook for retrieving your full tagset so that in an extensible program like TextMate, you can write commands to work with tags in a few ways. With no modifications to your blogging app, however, it will still provide Keyword (tagging) functions without having to modify your xmlrpc.php file or include tag definitions in the body of the post.

  I’ve created 2 TextMate commands that will provide popup menus for tagging your posts. One grabs all of your tags and lets you select them from a multi-select list to insert as Keywords, the other scans the text of your post (minus headers and html tags) and looks for matches in your tag list, providing an autotag function similar to my previous mod.

• 11.23.06 TextMate Blogging on TUAW posted in Geekery

  I’ve railed on a few times about how great TextMate is as a blogging client. But I’ll let Scott from The Unofficial Apple Weblog have a say: […]I don’t want to continue the ‘Text editor holy wars,’ but TextMate works well for me. Bundles make TextMate a Swiss Army Knife of text editing. Projects let […]
