Moving back to Blogger

Posted by jpb Fri, 05 Jan 2007 08:59:00 GMT

I’m leaving these posts here so links don’t go dead, but all new posts are going to be back on the old blogger.com blog.

What with the new job, I haven’t had time for the care and feeding of blog software and it’s easier to just use blogger.

TextMate footnote plugin

Posted by jpb Tue, 11 Jul 2006 13:01:05 GMT

This plugin adds clickable links to the Rails backtrace when an error occurs, and clickable “footnotes” to the bottom of each page (in development mode only) that open the view or controller for the current page in Textmate.

In your plugins directory, install with:

svn export svn://syncid.textdriven.com/svn/opensource/textmate_footnotes/trunk textmate_footnotes
