I godda code id ma node.
The post-nasal drip which caused only a slightly irritated throat yesterday decided to move into my sinus cavities and blossom into a full-blown head cold today. Echinacea. Orange juice.

First up, there’s a lovely new batch of desktop wallpaper available at Veer. This one here is my current favourite. How do I know this? It helps when your the guy who smushes all of … More

Parlez-vous l’acronyme?
Developer Marc Liyanage has been kind enough to expand BBEdit’s inherent polyglotism with a couple of free language glossaries specifically for XSLT and JSP. But wait, that’s not all. Googling around a bit more, I also found glossaries for MGI services, LDML, and SQL. Naturally, the Bare Bones site has fleshed-out listings of available glossaries … More
