Bought Coda in a big Panic.com sale

I have long been looking for the perfect editor for my Mac. Ever since I bought the latest Macheist bundle I have been using Espresso, which has been working fairly well. It is a very immature editor though with lots of essential features missing.

It has been crazy busy these last couple of weeks

It has been crazy busy these last couple of weeks. This weekend will be the first one in a while where I don’t do any work stuff and only focus on personal projects and other things. I’m so looking forward to this weekend!
