Bits, Blocks and Pixels. Some things beginners might not know about Sublime Text. I’m a big fan of Sublime Text. As with many Mac programmers, I started on TextMate. And then migrated over once Sublime Text 2 was released. When I started, however, there were a lot of things that I didn’t know about ST, so I’ve compiled a list of basic things that are excellent time savers. Search entire project files:. To search the contents of an entire ST project, hold down Shift Cmd F (Shift ctrl F on Windows). This i...

Bits, Blocks and Pixels. Want to be more secure? Build two-factor authentication into your webapp. After the hacking of a former Gizmodo writer’s Apple account.

Bits, Blocks and Pixels. My high-DPI image replacement workflow for web apps. Either create or drag in assets that are two times the size of the old assets and line them up as perfectly as possible with the fuzzy, low resolution edges. Using icon sets such as iconSweets2. Helps you save time because they are a.) vectors, so they scale infinitely and b.) optimized for certain sizes already. Https:/ gist.github.com/3122743. July 16, 2012. Thanks for reading.

Bits, Blocks and Pixels. After a day of using the alpha, here are my thoughts on App.net. I was a pretty early backer of App.net. Backer #285 to be exact). So, it should come as no surprise to anybody that I’ve been following the theatrics surrounding the platform. Last night, I was granted access to the alpha by @replying Dalton Caldwell. Asking if any backers would like to join, and after a day of playing with the system, here are my thoughts. If I had to describe what it feels like to be on App.ne...
