Nerd Notes

  1. If you use a Mac and write, you should really check out Scrivener; I like Pages, and I’m more tolerant of Word than many, but Scrivener is a really cool, responsive, organizationally compelling application for word-processing. It has the same full-screen, anti-distraction, old-school, gorgeous writing mode that WriteRoom does but is a bit more full featured (WriteRoom is really cool, too, but in its default configuration reminds me too much of Doogie Howser).
  2. Most of the people who see this site use Firefox, and thus see a hideous border around the Flickr photos to the right. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to get that border to go away while retaining that precise arrangement of tiles, which I like, to no avail. This bothers me, so I’m (a) venting and (b) apologizing to the Firefox folks.
  3. What text editor do most of you serious Tumblr folks use? I’ve used Pagespinner for years and years, have dabbled with Coda (which doesn’t seem well-suited to Tumblr), and am just curious what’s preferred.

    Mills, try sticking this in your CSS: .flickrimages img { border: none; }...should fix you...

    Textmate mostly.
