Hunting for software

Ok, so I accept that it would be (marginally) easier to find acceptable webdev software for the OSX box at work if I had something better than a dial up with which to hunt the internet wilds, but I’m still mighty grumpy that neither CuteFtp nor HomeSite have Mac versions. And with Macromedia owning Homesite now, you’d think they’d port it, but no.

So I’m playing around with Fetch and BBEdit. (I will not use Dreamweaver - too much of a pain.) Not great, but it could suck more. Of course, I’m a great one for comfort items. Comfort food, comfort books… things that make the unfamiliar safe. Software falls into the same category now.

Out with the old

And in with a new monitor. A very happy new monitor in fact. (ViewSonic A90f+)

I’m happy to say I didn’t go out or drink at *all* last night. New Year’s craziness just doesn’t do it for me anymore.

And with no warning, I hop thought tracks and give you a great little essay on what slash is and isn’t. Or at least what it might and might not be. And there’s more than on slash *author* that should take a look at it. ‘Cause it isn’t all about the sex, folks.
