I use BBEdit for more or less everything I write. When I write text documents I use Markdown to format the document. If I need to send the document to a customer I generate a nicely formatted PDF. I can’t stand ugly typography so I want my PDF documents to look at least decent.
The Markdown editor for BUEditor now has a stable 1.0 release for Drupal 7. I was recently made co-maintainer and are now preparing a 1.1 release. Please help by testing 7.x-1.x-dev. My goal with Markdown editor, besides making it even better, is to make it 10 to 100 times more popular.
I have been working with targeted CSS in Drupal themes for modern mobiles like the iPhone for some time now. xdeb.org has implemented it since early 2009, incidentally at the same time I got my first iPhone. This approach has worked well but now with over a third (34 percent) of the visitors to xdeb.
When I planed the upgrade to Drupal 7 for xdeb.org I decided to rebuild the site from scratch and use the Migrate module to migrate over content, users, terms etc. Rebuilding the site made it easy to get rid of some old junk and get a cleaner and more modern structure for xdeb.
When I access xdeb.org from Sweden the site feels reasonable quick and responsive. From other parts of the world it feels less so, even when the Internet connection is good. The reason is of course that my server is located in Sweden and that location matter on the Internet.
Rainy days, the just released BBEdit 10 and the fact that all new sites I build now are Drupal 7 has inspired my to update and vastly improve my BBEdit clippings for Drupal. My BBEdit Clippings for Drupal 7 includes:
Today Daringfireball.net linked to an article by Mike Elgan about Google with this quote. Google makes billions of dollars in revenue each fiscal quarter. That money comes about by the same process that all companies use: They sell a product to their customers.
Posting my slides for the “Drush 4, more awesome than ever” session. Not using Drush yet? Only using it for installing and updating modules? Come then and see what you can do with Drush 4. This session will briefly mention the basic Drush commands and some of the new features in Drush 3 and 4.
Anthother DrupalCamp in Stockholm. Come and meet the Swedish Drupal community and listen to how CNN and Al Jazeera use Drupal. xdeb.net is happy to sponsor the event and I will give a talk “Drush 4, more awesome than ever”.
The drupal.org web site, nice as it is after the redesign, is not a pleasure to access on a mobile device like the iPhone. In issue #951114: Mobile phone support (iPhone / Android) there are some discussions and suggestions how to improve this.
