Coda PHP & Web Toolkit 3.4
Posted 1 week ago in Coda, Software Updates
Feature removal: This version doesn’t feature proCSSor anymore. The developer will not continue the proCSSor Web API, so this feature is removed from Coda PHP & Web Toolkit.
Since the API was a free service anyway and he’ll focus on developing his own software this is understandable. More information can be found on his website: procssorapp.com.
And since Coda 2 is said to be released in the near future I won’t add any new features until then. Therefore this version has some bugfixes only.

Syslogviewer widget 1.3 – Update
Posted 1 month ago in Mac OS X, Software Updates
In this version you can view a single remote logfile by entering the URL (must start with http).
This works via curl and is of course still very beta. The curl connection has a timeout and is being reloaded, so it should work with files that update continuously on the server.
Please note: The remote logfile should be text-only – html is not being rendered (and that would be very difficult).

Recommended Android Apps (you might not know) – Part 1, Utilities
This will be a loose series of blog posts presenting my favourite Android Apps. This selection is naturally quite subjective, but you might find some apps you don’t know yet. If root access is required, this is mentioned, as well as free vs. ad-supported vs. paid.
Besides the usual stuff (works, doesn’t crash etc.), I like good UI design and of course a responsive developer, if that was necessary.
In the first part there are utilities – system tools, synchronization, file manangement and so on. … Continue reading »
Razer BlackWidow keyboard with Mac OS X
Posted 3 months ago in Mac OS X
Use Razer BlackWidow (PC Edition) on a Mac
This is probably useful only to a few people – but if you are one of the mac users who bought a Razer BlackWidow keyboard (PC), this should be helpful. “BlackWidow” is a mechanical keyboard for a reasonable price, lightyears better than the default apple keyboard. It’s called a “gaming keyboard”, so after unpacking you’re official member of the “Cult of Razer” .. well, then … Continue reading »
Safari Pinboard & Coda PHP – what’s next
Posted 4 months ago in Coda, Software Updates, Web Development
Currently I’m a bit busy with work (and soon: holiday) – but then I’ll continue with some new features for the Safari Pinboard extension and Coda PHP & Web plugin:
Safari Pinboard extension
The most annoying bug (Can’t save tabsets) is fixed now, another strange candidate is still open: When adding a link the title of the previous page is used.. Happens currently only for one user but since this bug is completely improbable I really want to know if someone encounters similar problems. If so, please comment here.
Safari 5.1 has some new features for extension – you can open a popover
window (on a button) now and do something else, which I seem to have forgotten. Nothing revolutionary, so I really have to think if it’s worth integrating these features – by having to maintain a fallback solution for Safari 5.0 users..
The next step will be to integrate more of the Pinboard API. This might include features like: Auto-tagging (applying always a given tag or according to a rule for new bookmarks), showing unread items in a Safari menu instead of opening the pinboard website, improving the search feature, doing more with tags etc.
Coda PHP plugin
There are two nice tools which might be worth integrating: PHP beautifier and CSS Lint. I’ll look if and how these tools make sense as addition/replacement for the currently used tools.
But more interesting is this question: What about Coda 2? Maybe the next version already includes PHP/HTML/CSS validation (Okay – HTML validation is somehow included in the current version, but it works only very limited..). So before looking at 348567 other tools I’d rather wait for 2.0 – a native integration into Coda would be by far the best solution. But currently only the developers from panic know more…
