I am the ghost of groovymother.com. Woooooo!

This is an old page from Rod Begbie's blog.

It only exists in an attempt to prevent linkrot. No new content will be added to this site, and links and images are liable to be broken. Check out begbie.com to find where I'm posting stuff these days.

Coda 1.0 Release Notes

“But for now: let all just pretend for one moment that Coda is so 100% pefect that this page is literally useless.”

Panic - Coda - One-Window Web Development for Mac OS X

Panic’s newest app is aimed squarely at web-devs, attempting to roll “all” the stuff you need to build a website into one app. Looks interesting — I’m definitely guilty of needing about 7 windows open to do web development (a couple of TextMates, Firefox, Safari, a terminal or two). It’ll be interesting to see if this can bring it all together for me.

SlideShare

The worst website in the history of the world ever?

Not that it’s a bad site — it’s very nicely put together. I mean “worst” in the sense of “most evil and damaging to humanity”. Slide decks are going to fall into one of two main categories

1) Lots of text and information. Possibly useful as documents, but spectacularly fucking dreadful as presentations. (If the audience is reading your slide, they’re not listening to you)

2) Lots of pictures and headings, but minimal content. Potentially great illustrations if there’s someone giving an informative talk in front of them, but relatively useless to be shared on a website.

On the plus side, I’ll have a metric shitload of ammunition next time I do a presentation on awful powerpoint.
