Apple & web development
This weekend i needed to do some programming while at a friends place so i decided to trick out my iBook to make it a full fledged web development machine. After 20 minutes of clicking installer download links for the full LAMP workout i was done. Pretty damn fast. Plus i found a really smart, yet slightly goofily named, code editor for OS X called textmate.
Yet more points for Apple… warn me if i start sounding cult-member like
I do still have a few gripes with OS X don’t get me wrong. Integration with Windows networks still sucks. And why the f*ck doesn’t Finder always properly refresh a directory when the content changes?

“OS X ….. Integration with Windows”, on the day titan and the moon integrate, i suppose

heh. that’s ok sean. i’ve been developing on windows for the past 7 years and have only recently switched to using a mac regularly. I guess it’s a case of the grass being greener… anyway, textmate is a text editor for the mac i can heartily recommend. it has oodles of hidden handy options that stay out of the way as long as your not ready to dive in just yet. try it. and upgrade to a g4 maybe… g3 i never worked on but my g4 ibook is not the fastest thing alive so i can only imagine your pain
