You’ll never find that font again, or will you?

As designers we used to rely on colleagues or our brains to match a font. When we drew a blank we would end up tracing the client’s type with paths. No more. Now there are online resources for matching fonts.
Beryl is out of This World – Window Management Taken to the Next Level

I had no idea how cool an interface could be. I was going to install AfterStep but I kept seeing people talk about Beryl. So what do I do? TRY IT.
Beryl has features such as hotkeys and and desktop switching that go much further than anything else I’ve used. On top of that, the window and desktop switching looks amazing… Desktops on a 3D cube and a killer alt-tab; AWESOME.
Quanta Plus Web Development Environment
July 11th, 2007 Chris Brown Posted in Linux, Technology, Web Development, Work, php No Comments »
I’m testing out Quanta Plus which seems to be the best of the best web dev softwares for linux. So far it’s perfect. The preview window leaves much to be desired… I’d love to see invisible elements in it etc etc. Quanta seems to be like dreamweaver with a really nice code view but a not so hot design view.
I’ve been working on an OSCommerce customization for one of our clients and today I’ve done all of the php work in Quanta without ever wishing I was using something else. So far so good.
