Panic the makers of the excellent Transmit file transfer application have released a new piece of software called Coda. It intends to be a developer workflow application, “what’s that?” I hear you ask, well it’s a text editor, css editor, site manager, preview, ftp client, terminal and reference guide all rolled into one application.
Our support desk was fixed yesterday by the folks at Kayako, it looks like we were hit by an upgrade bug in the software that only affects some specific sever configurations.
After a successful upgrade of our test support desk the upgrade of our live support desk did not go so smoothly. We have been struck by a known bug in the upgrade process and are currently waiting for Kayko support to fix the issue for us.
The support desk still appears to be functional so tickets should be dealt with as normal, if you have an urgent issue please submit your request to our info@media72.co.uk as well as the support desk.
You will notice an error displayed at the top of every page until Kayako have managed to fix the issue.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Late last week the long awaited Ruby on Rails 1.2 was released including a whole host of new features. David’s blog post talks about the new release.
MacRabbit has released CSSedit 2.0 and it looks like a great upgrade. Included amongst the new features are a very useful website preview, something lacking from version 1.x, called x-ray which lets you select HTML elements and view hierarchical information about the element as well as margin and padding information.
Other noteworthy features are browser integration, CSS validation, style grouping, and milestones (aka, a simple version control system).
My personal favourite is their dig at Microsoft “Production quality CSS requires some (or lots of) tweaking to get every browser to cooperate.”, subtle.
We are currently working on a web application with Chris Garrett Media. We can’t tell you what it does yet, or even what it’s called. What we can tell you is how we are going to build it over at The Topian. Our plan is to post about as much of the applications planning, development, marketing, and design as we can.
Ever wondered what a website looks like as a graph? Well wonder no more…
