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.

It could be argued that since this application is built with Perl/Catalyst/Template Toolkit, the answer would never be more than zero… but I still appreciate the Easter Egg!

Eek! Masher!

update! I found this old thing in the closet…

A Chinese court has jailed two officials after they let a blind contractor build a bridge which collapsed during construction and injured 12 people, the official Xinhua news agency said Monday…. “After the blind contractor changed the blueprint, he carried out the work only using a roughly drawn draft of the plan, which caused the bridge to collapse,” the report said. Xinhua did not explain how the contractor was able to run the project considering his inability to see.

You’ll notice that I took this movie on my Mac through Remote Desktop. I tried the copy/paste maneuvering directly on the Windows (XP) box, with the same results. I also tried it in Internet Explorers 5-6 and it worked just fine.

Geeks Are Sexy posted a registry hack to move the File/Edit/View/Etc. menu back to the top. I did this and it worked, in terms of moving the menu bar back to where it belongs, but it didn’t fix the copy/paste issue. Swell!

*”Reload” and “stop” are in the extra-stupid place of after the address bar, and no, they can’t be rearranged.

I’m looking forward to digging into those, and this
