CSSEdit 2.5 and Coda

MacRabbit just updated CSSEdit to version 2.5, which brings some new features such as tabbed windows and the X-ray inspector for all of your CSS needs. I’ve been using this quite a lot since the 2.0 release, the new features have been very helpful with development; I can’t recommend this program enough. Panic just released Coda, which is an integrated web development solution, part Transmit, part SubEthaEdit and Terminal, with CSS support all rolled into a single interface. Personally I started on Dreamweaver, but dumped that for a combination of Textmate, CSSEdit and Transmit for all of my development needs. I think Coda can give Dreamweaver a run for it’s money, Coda is a much more affordable solution for a freelance developer. The Textmate-CSSEdit-Transmit combo work quite well for me, but Panic’s new program looks very interesting, I may have to download a copy and see how it works. (via MacRabbit Blog | stevenf)

Gone Freelance

As of the beginning of April, I’ve left my job as Senior Web Devloper at Evolve Media, to work for myself and build a business doing graphic design and web development. I’ve recently updated my portfolio with some new projects, but I have a lot more work to add and I’m working on updating my website as well. If you’re in need of some help with some work, feel free to use the contact form or drop me a line scott@scottorchard.com.

I Just Bought a PowerBook! – Part 2 & More

My new PowerBook arrived right before Christmas, and I must say was kind of a big present for myself. But in my own defense, I needed to upgrade badly, and this is going to really help out with my work load. I’m ordering 2 Gigs of RAM to max out the system, but I must say that this thing powers through the work that bogged down my other 2 computers. I’m going to fix my iBook and give it to my brother, he needs something for school work and the internet, so its perfect for his needs right now. As for my work load, its been pretty hectic, a couple of great projects at Evolve and a couple of nice freelance projects have been monopolyzing most of my time, but the work has been great. Additionally, I just upgraded to WordPress 2.0 and have upgraded to the newest version of K2 which seem pretty solid. I need more time, but the work’s keeping me out of trouble.
