Net tuts+ is running a very cool promo for the month of October. You can download the ebook Getting good with Git for free. I would highly recommend that you do so while you can. I just skimmed over it quickly last night and I think it is great. Specially for the not-so-technical and designers [...]
I’m ecstatic! Finally the wait for the Google Chrome browser is over. I have to say, my first impressions justify the long wait. I’m in fact putting Firefox on the same shelf as IE, only using it to test web sites. On the Mac and OS X Chrome does not disappoint one bit. It is [...]
Regular expressions (a.k.a. regex) is not for the faint hearted. It sometimes seems like a programming language on its own. Unless you use it on a daily basis, you tend to forget how to extract an URL from text or how to properly validate an email address. There are a number of good tools, but [...]
To follow up on the previous post on Microsoft’s failing Windows 7 viral marketing attempt, this comment is just epic! “If Microsoft had been put in charge of marketing sex, the human race would have ended long ago, because no one would be caught dead doing something that uncool.” Found over at CNBC

Gotta love Vi or Vim. It is everywhere you need it and it is extremely important and handy. Just like my coffee here. What a pretty pic, hey? Would make any propellerhead drool :)
Mailchip is a great bulk mailing service. Worth every penny they get! Their brand is fantastic and they always have the funkiest messages whenever you log on to the site. We at Afrigator uses them to send you the occasional news letter and announcements. All-in-all, they’re one fantastic company! I just received an email from [...]
Some time ago, on my now defunct blog, I raved about Crossloop. With good reason too. It makes desktop sharing fantastically simple. I then moved to Apple Mac and forgot about it, until now! They released an OS X version! (Although, in all honesty, i have not tested the Mac version yet!) The big plus [...]
Let me start by stating: Coda = $99 vs. Komodo Edit = Free & Open Source Coda is Mac only, while Komodo supports Mac, Windows and Linux! There are a lot of great code editors for OS X if you are willing to pay. If you develop, it is vital that you are happy with [...]
FTP is crap. At least someone in Cape Town seems to think so! Found this little gem in a shopping centre in Cape Town. In all fairness, its not that I believe it is crap, its just that there is so much better ways to update sites. My preference at the moment is: Subversion Capistrano [...]
