So there you have it. I’m such a trend whore.
To answer my question from a few days back, I went with Homesite 5.5. UEStudio + UltraCompare had a lot to offer and in many ways is probably the better code editor, but Homesite is pretty good. The decided factors ended up being that pretty much everything else I’m working with is Macromedia/Adobe, and Homesite will run on Mac and PC, so I won’t need to bother with multiple interfaces.
Oh, on the IRV thing, guess what – you can go to a caucus even if you’re not in the party. Frankly, that seems wrong to me, but now I feel like a real idiot for not going to the local DFL caucus to support IRV.
I will be starting to pass around the petition, however. If you live in Minneapolis and want to sign, drop me a line.
Anyway, life is crazy busy and pretty good, but I need more sleep. More sleep. More sleep. I crashed at 10:00 last night and am still tired.
It would also be nice to find some time to get some World of Warcraft playing in… (I’m on Twisted Nether and will not be switching servers again any time soon)
Oh, on a final note, if anyone knows of any good open source shopping cart code out there, point me at it. I guess PHP would be preferred, but what do I know – Really, I just need something that’ll run at most ISPs. Java/JSP would be fine too – I don’t really remember any programming languages, so I’ll have to relearn whatever anyway. Pretty basic needs – I need to have a catalog, display products, have people select those products and place an order. Account creation/registration should be optional, not required.

Like I said before I really like Homesite. Let me know how you end up liking it.
It has some good interface options with dream weaver. I also customized the tool bar for some common stuff I do. You can also even create templates for common stuff.
