My favorite text/programming editor is UltraEdit, for years now. And with each release, it's getting even better with great new features. The features I like best are the SFTP support and the column-selection modus.

As a developer (mostly) on PHP sites, I often check the PHP manual and search on HTML-tags and CSS reference @ w3schools.

To do this more quickly I have created some easy "UltraEdit Tools" which are based on Google's "I'm feeling lucky". The tools will redirect to the manual or reference. When having selected a word (i.e. a php function, tag, or css selector), it will go directly to the corresponding page (tries it anyway).

You can find the command-lines for the tools in my forum post @ IDM

[update]There's even a nicer way to do it, as 'jorrasdk' replied on my post[/update]

An aspect of Social Networking and the whole Web 2.0 thing, is to trust others. I really like that aspect, because in real life I follow that same rule "trust someone, until proven otherwise". With this mindset I just enabled the possibility for everyone to tag my blog posts, etc.

Feel free to add tags when you feel like it.

Doing groceries... I just don't like it. Especially when it takes too long (mostly when shopping with others). I always try to be as efficient as possible. And with all efficient actions, efficient shoppings needs preparation. Today I "connected dots" and tried something new.

At the Reboot conference Anne van Kesteren talked about HTML 5. Also Håkon Lie dived into HTML 5, combined with CSS 3 and Opera. I'm interested in HTML and CSS, because, among other things, I teach XHTML/CSS to my students. My biggest question (why continue on HTML instead of XHTML) didn't lead to a satisfaying answer, but I got a suitable one later on.

Yes, finally I took the time to make my own blog. Didn't I knew it? Off course I did, but it needed a mental change first. Who would care about my view on things? Well, I was realizing that those who aren't interested, probably won't follow this blog anyway. So with that argument out of the way, there is nothing against me blogging.
