Graham is easily impressed
The past couple of days I’ve been hard at work giving grahamgilbert.com a much needed overhaul (go an have a look – I’m pretty proud of it – and give me work while you’re at it!). Why does this concern you, I hear you ask – well, ok then, you’re not asking that, but I’m going to tell you anyway.
So there.
Anyway, my text editor of choice is TextMate. It’s quite possibly the best text editor I’ve ever used, and I’ve barely scratched the surface. Right, to the point. I discovered a handy new feature today. What it basically does is automatically make a link for you. Sounds simple I know, but it saves a metric buttload of time when you’ve got to add a load of links to a page. All you have to do is get the url into your clipboard – like when you’re browsing and want to link to the page when you’re writing a blog post in your favourite text editor (oh, didn’t I tell you? TextMate can post to WordPress too). Then just highlight the text you want to link, bash Control – Shift L and Bob’s your uncle.
Sounds simple, right? What really impressed me was that is goes out onto the internet and grabs the page title you’re linking to and puts it as the title of the link.
Now that I think about it, it doesn’t sound that impressive.
It impressed me anyway… But I guess I must be easily impressed!
