Zzot!

I know there are periods where I change my favorite text editor as often as most people change their underwear, but still. I like their take on tabbed editing (including what happens when you give their command-line script a list of files). There are a gazillion language-specific packages available (scripts, syntax, etc.), and you can slurp up a whole mess of them from a single svn repository. Block (i.e., rectangular) editing that’s easy to use and doesn’t require a mouse. Folding; enough said.

I was convinced I needed to find this editor and try it out simply by watching the Ruby on Rails 15-minute intro, so you might watch that to see TextMate in action.

The second 4,500 was a lot harder than the first — and not entirely because of the number of connections we made. A high point of the return trip was the United agent taking boarding passes for the last hop from O’Hare to Detroit Metro; none of the others had commented on us presenting an Island Air boarding passes. “Back to reality, huh?” (The joke being that it was actually the last flight where someone asked us this)

The trip was fun, and we’ve gotten an assortment of compliments on how the wedding went and everything — although it’ll probably be another few days before the weariness of travel is gone from our faces. Plus, the hotel had neither our cats nor our bed. I think both of our employers missed us — there’s something to be said for that, at least.

For now, at least, we’re stepping boldly forward into the first phase of any marriage — paperwork. (Oh, and that poor woman in the internet café© in Keauhou; she was right that the wedding ring was new, but I didn’t have the heart to tell I constantly fiddled with the previous ring — even two years later)
