Is Espresso in reality TextMate 2?
- 28 September
Not a long time ago MacRabbit has released info on a new project of theirs, called Espresso, which is a code editor. The project seems to be a hell load of an amazing one – as amazing as TextMate was years ago. So the obvious question is, whether Macromates and MacRabbit are now one.
This post is outdated. My opinion might have changed since the time this post was published.
Not that I’m a huge conspiracy theory fan, but it would make sense. Macromates always seemed to me to be more of a one person indie development project – Allan Odgaard. And like most indie developers, there’s a time when they’re being hired/acquired/eaten by bigger companies – which MacRabbit seems to be.
Besides, it would seem it’s about time for Allan to release his new offspring – it’s been almost three years since the last update for Pete’s sake!
Are you with me? Is Espresso, TextMate 2? I’d love if that was the case.

Clann Zú
Amazing. As an absolute fraction of the stuff that doesn’t end with the core
suffix in my 50GB music library, this must be the most amazing band of all times. It’s basically something people call neofolk, but Clann Zú takes the neofolk-ish experience to a whole completely new level of awesomeness, successfully mixing genres like electronica, folk, indie, rock, classic, etc.
Hit play, seriously. And if you like it (of course you will), I might suggest reaching for the Rua LP which, unlike, the latest album is a very solid release.

Browser.Engine.version in MooTools 1.2
- 12 September
There are some interesting things one can find out while reading through the source code of the new MooTools.
Like for example a very handy feature which is not mentioned in the online documentation, is Browser.Engine.version which simply returns the integerified
number of the browsers engine version.
Stumbled upon that little code while researching ways of determining whether a user is using Firefox 2 or 3 (Gecko 1.8 and 1.9 respectfully) – had to get rid of the opacity animation on the page which also contained a Flash movie – the old flickering problem.
Very handy indeed.
