BBEdit
http://macolyte.net/post/15850147176/bbedit
A couple of good, detailed posts about BBEdit this week. Not an editor I use on a regular basis, but I’ve tried it a few times here and there. It doesn’t suck. Macdrifter - Moving Text Editors: Taking BBEdit Seriously. Clark’s Tech Blog - Problems with BBEdit. Right now, to be honest, I write all my BBEdit scripts in Python using Appscript. It’s far more easy to write and I can leverage all the Python libraries to do things. But everything here will remain until Tumblr goes away. Mac Power Users Podcast.

http://macolyte.net/post/30114247038/and-now-for-something-completely-different
And Now for Something Completely Different. Macolyte.net began its life as a self-hosted WordPress site. At the time, it seemed like the most logical choice.

Evernote and MarsEdit
http://macolyte.net/post/16008638828/evernote-and-marsedit
I’ve come up with what could be the One True Blogging Workflow for me. I created a notebook in Evernote called @macolyte drafts where I keep a note, written in Markdown, for every post I’m currently working on. Once I’ve given up on trying to make the post sensible, I hit ⌘ ⇧ M. And the following AppleScript is run (thanks to another one of Daniel’s excellent applications: FastScripts.
