• 1.2.07 Digging in to TextMate posted in Geekery

  The first time I opened TextMate was about a year ago. I opened it, edited a couple of files, looked through the options, was overwhelmed and deleted the trial. It wasn’t until about 4 months ago that I decided to give it another try. I’m now a die-hard fan (as readers […]
