Just messing around with the really rather good PS Mobile App. It's pretty fun.

...confirmation that Dropbox is definitely planning an Android application for it's excellent online storage service.
I noticed this Job Posting whilst poking around Dropbox.com last night.
If you know any Android devs fitting the requirements I suggest you might want to share this with them. Dropbox must be one of the hottest web companies to work for right now, and the sooner we get to see Dropbox on Android the better IMO.

This is how Tweetie now handles the a gap between updates to your Twitter timeline. If you've been offline for a few hours this 'tear off' visually seperates current updates from older ones. Nicely done.

It's taken me a while to realise the full awesomeness of TextMate as a code editor...
I've used Coda for web development on my MacBook for ages - occasionally though I would hear someone raving about TextMate and take a quick look. Unfortunalty I'd quickly get intimidated by the steep learning curve for mastering it's keyboard shortcuts and promptly delete it before the end of the trial period and go straight back to Coda.
Well last Sunday I installed TextMate again, and for some reason this time I've really stuck with it. I've put some effort in this past few days to learn it's keyboard shortcuts and boy am I glad I have...
With a bit of effort TextMate becomes so useful it's almost Zen like. It's such a great focused environment for working in, it just seems to help me get more done more quickly. Training myself to use new key combinations will take a bit of doing, but I've seen enough in the past few days to know that it's going to be worth it - this time I'm sticking with it.
For others thinking about switching to TextMate the best advice I can give is to focus hard on shortcuts most related to whatever language it is you code in. In my case it's HTML, so I thought I'd share some of the most useful shortcuts I've managed to learn this past few days:Control + Shift + V Opens a window and validates the document HTML with the W3C Markup Validation Service.Control + Shift + < Opens a pair of opening/closing HTML tags. By default these are set to <p> but with the element value selected so that it can quickly be changed. Hitting the Tab key jumps the cursor into the element content. Control + Shift + W Wraps selected text with HTML tags. By default these are set to <p> but again the element value is highlighted so that it can quickly be changed.Cmd + Shift + L Selects the current line. Very useful when used just before the Control + Shift + W shortcut! Option + Tab Indent selection, can be used to easily indent an entire line, paragraph or just a selected item.Option + Shift + Tab Un-indent selection, again can be used to un-indent a selected line, paragraph or just a single item.
I've also found this exaustive TextMate keyboard shortcut cheat sheet. Clearly I've got quite a long way to go before I become a TextMate master, but I'm sticking with it.
