Re: Tumblr Themes TextMate Bundle
I’ve finished version 1.0 of it (I might try to add some stuff besides snippets in the future). You can get it on Google Code, or you can just use this direct download link.
Some of these responses are interesting...
PERSISTING THE MAC PLUTOCRACY, EH? I mean, something that only 20% of us (at most) can use… that’s a bit weak, isn’t it?
Why couldn’t this have been done on a multi-platform tool? It’s worth the extra effort to get that 80-90% extra audience.
I am going to keep saying this until Apple and its community developers stop pulling the same proprietary platform crap that a lot of Windows developers are also in-the-wrong for doing. (and until I have something better than Notepad2)
Mr. brianvan here apparently thinks that my little TextMate plug-in is full development suite that I was contracted to develop. Well, it’s not, but the good news is Windows users can use it as well!
The Windows equivalent of TextMate is a program called E Text Editor and it supports TextMate Bundles! There is even a Linux text editor called Redcar that supports TexMate bundles.

I’m working on a TextMate bundle for creating Tumblr Themes. It shouldn’t take me too long. When it’s done I’ll probably put it on github for all to enjoy.
Sweet. I use Coda so I don’t really know what TextMate bundles are. I assume it will just insert the correct template code for you. You click on 128x128 Portrait URL and it inserts {PortraitURL-128}
What I’d LOVE is to be able to see an example of what that is without copying and pasting the code into Tumblr. So as you’re designing the preview in Coda looks like it would live. Not like this:
Don’t know if that’s possible, but man, it would be awesome!
That would be pretty awesome, but unfortunately that would require recreating the entire theme engine… so, it would be something that Tumblr, Inc. would do if they wanted to, but I don’t expect it’s high on their list (see: David Karp is a non-profit).
I expect that a revision of the Customize page for creating themes is on someone’s list.

Mashable says Tumblr is finally going to generate some revenue… and they posted this ominous screenshot of some sort of payment widget.
I’ll certainly be sending a few dollars their way when… whatever launches.
Panic Blog » The Panic Status Board
The folks over at Panic, Inc. built themselves a status board. I want something like this in my house.
Steve Jobs is at the Oscars. I wonder why. Is it because of Apple’s relationship with the Film industry due to iTunes? Is it because he’s the single largest shareholder of Disney (and a board member)?
I don’t know why I’m so interested.
Google Chrome is awesome… and overzealous.
The only problem I have with it is that it doesn’t seem to handle flash very well.
Avatar sucked, right?
I just want to make sure I’m not in the minority by holding this position. Special effects were pretty good, and I suspect that it will win the Academy Award for that (I can’t imagine what would beat it this year). Other than that, it had a terrible script, a tired story, it was too damn long, and the acting wasn’t very good.
