Lots of Fun w/ my MacBook Pro

Hi all long time no speak, sorry for the delay since my last blog I have been really, really busy at the 9-5 job that pays the bills and even more busy at the sidegig of web design and learning about web design :)


All I can say is that there is a plethora of content to read / listen too about everything web design related and I am doing my best to get through it all. I have recently topped 190+ blogs that I subscribe to, and the books I buy are piling up faster then I can read them. For more info on my favorite blogs and books on web design please stop by my main blog over at RobbieTheGeek.Com. Some new software I have been testing out and playing with is :

RapidWeaver 3.5 beta :
I am not a big fan of WYSIWYG editors so this one didn't go over well for me, I have a friend that swears by it and I can totally see using this as a framework / testing enviornment
CSSEdit : This is a cool and really functional little graphical CSS editior, with lots of built-in preview options. This gets a thumbs up from this geek.
CyberDuck : This little FTP program isn't the ansewer to all of my prayers but it is functional and is free.
GimpShop : A nice universal binary version of GIMP that I am very familiar with, and works very well in this iteration, Please if you are a GIMP user or looking for an alternative for PhotoShop grab this version quick it is great.

Well that is all for now I will get back to you soon...
