Using a shared hosting? You want to find how many web site shares the IP with you?

And its free.. it also list all the sites plus you have the ability to view the site on a frame on the right.. so much for the talk albeit I have to show the link.

Have you seen my best free software blog? The one with reviews and how good they were.. I hope I’ve got  some time to install all of below mentioned apps for productivity. Whew.. actually installed some of them. Good reviews by lifehacker. I really like the USB based PC repair system, and some link to PortableApps.

intype: textmate like editor for windows

I hate this! This is my fifth edit of the same post. WordPress.com’s TinyMCE event listener javascripts are failing and is giving me headache. Hmmp~!

Anyway this is not about wordpress anymore.

I have had blogged and bragged about jedit and I have no complain about it not just recently in that I have to simultaneously fire up many application at once where it has been sometimes stalling. I am still investigating on this.

Intype is super fast as I have installed and used it personally but beware it is only on alpha stage so beware of the holes. It has also the same functionality like TextMate like bundles which enables one to create his/her own templates for automatic code block completion. Also the following features:

  • Undo/Redo
  • Indentation Settings (hard tabs, soft tabs, indent size)
  • Preferences Dialog (level 1) for setting theme and font
  • CJK Support for over-the-spot input method. See screenshot.
  • Drag&Drop Files support (level 1)
  • And a handful of new bundles: ActionScript · ANTLR · CAKE · Django & DjangoTemplates · Haskell · JavaScript YUI · JSP · LaTeX · BibTeX · LaTeX Beamer · LaTeX Memoir · LaTeX Log · TeX · TeX Math · reStructuredText · SQL · TurboGears · Perl

Pros:

  • Superfast
  • Bundles works great
  • less than 1MB so the download takes only a blink of an eye

Cons:

  • Not free just like TextMate but lesser
  • Buggy since it’s on alpha
  • No file/folder explorer

Actually I have take so long into looking on it since I advocate using free software. The last one I am using that’s not free is Windows XP(shrug).

jedit and web development as a free alternative for textmate

I don’t have enough to fuel me buy an expensive IDE for my development works. That is 2USD is more than expensive for me(singing: I’m just a poor boy.. from a poor family..**you know the song**). I’m going to have to setup a donate to my PayPal account soon :D.

Kidding aside. I have seen TextMate and it’s functionality in the web development world. It was never been awarded as Best Mac OS X Developer Tool in 2006 for nothing. Have several bundles to use. Whew.. Cool.

Then there’s this great tutorial about jedit to have some functionality like code completion in TextMate(they call it snippets I think – never had tested it, never will… for now.. I’m broke right?), it’s called SuperAbbrevs(or Super Abbreviations). It’s more of a code completion, also a prompter for variables.. etc.

The code for setting up a code completion for PHP is a no-no for the developers at the time of this writing. There was no port of code completion for PHP. However I am making my own snippets.. I will publish it in this site once I have or think it’s complete for me. :D 

firefox bookmarks in new window or tab

Firefox has this great ability to drag and drop links to it’s bookmark toolbar. But if it is a regular link only it will open on the same window/tab that is in use.However there is a workaround there. Here is the steps I took:

  1. Create an html from a wysiwyg editor. For superfast creation of links.
  2. Instead of the usual <a href=”http://www.domain.com“>name to remember here</a> link tag use
    <a href=”javascript: void window.open(‘http://www.domain.com‘);”>name to remember here</a>
  3. Open the created file into firefox and drag the links created to the toolbar.

This will open a new window from now on. Don’t forget the void keyword on the beginning of the function since forgetting this would result to the current window to be thrown whatever the window.open function return.

Here I have created a link to upload my pictures in imageshack and a link for new post for this blog.

you could also drag any link to the bookmarks toolbar and  edit the link to accept a javacript function. :)
