Fonts for programmers

Yes, I am getting sick and tired of courier new, so I am on the lookout for a new font for when I am writing code.

PS. Thank the lord that News Radio Quote Month is over. I had a hard time blogging from work because I could never find the link to a good News Radio quote site.

#437. It’s hard to fly with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys.

I just started graduate school last week. I am concentrating on Software Engineering. Hopefully, I will post more often about software engineering topics. I can talk for days on end about it, but I find it hard to write about out. I usually converse with coworkers about software engineering principles, and I am sure they are as tired of my myriad observations, so that going to school should help in giving me another outlet for my rants.

BBEdit 8.0

I use a Mac at home. I love the Mac, and today, Bare Bones Software has released BBEdit 8.0. This is “Software that doesn’t suck.” On each and every platform that I use I am always looking for the text editor that meets the standards set by BBEdit. On the Unix workstations, we used emacs. I got used to it. Sometimes, I would launch a file in vi just to get comfortable with the “more weird than emacs” keystroke combinations. Shift-Z-Z? On PCs, I quickly abandoned TextPad and WordPad looking for a BBEdit port. No such luck. The closest so far has been VisualSlickEdit. It is still no BBEdit.

Run out and get the latest version of the best piece of software ever written.
