As nice as Coda’s UI can be, I’d ditch it, if I could just get TextMate to play nicely with remote projects.

*yes, finally; upgrading from Adobe CS2 had to be in the budget first…

1. custom language bundle that highlights the offending space
2. macro using the built-in strip-trailing-spaces command on save

I’ve gone with the first option: I think it’s nicer to keep yourself in the habit of watching your code, rather than relying on the software. Also, as the author notes, it blows away any bookmarking and code folds. If you’re working with large files and hit save at least every five minutes like I do, well… that sucks as much as Coda’s lack of code folding does.

Their CSS, which was putting an unfortunate border on our buttons:

uiButton,
.uiButtonSuppressed:hover,
.uiButtonSuppressed:active,
.uiButtonSuppressed:focus { -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); }


Here’s how to get around that:

.uiButton:after {
content: "OMGFACEBOOKIHATEYOU";
display: block;
color: #fff;
margin-top: 44px; /* height of your button */
border-top: 1px solid #fff; }


Ta-da.

Looks like the Disney Vault has a purpose after all – to keep us from realizing how similar our favorite classic Disney movies truly are. According to this video, Disney only ever made one movie, and they’ve been tracing it ever since.

• A toymaker, for example, who makes wooden cars in his garage in Maine to supplement his income cannot afford the $4,000 fee per toy that testing labs are charging to assure compliance with the CPSIA.
• A work-at-home mom in Minnesota who makes dolls to sell at craft fairs must choose either to violate the law or cease operations.
• A small toy retailer in Vermont who imports wooden toys from Europe, which has long had stringent toy safety standards, must now pay for testing on every toy they import.
