2 Aug, 2006

I’m very unhappy with Adobe right now. I called yesterday and asked them if Adobe Acrobat Standard could convert Word documents to PDFs on a Mac and keep all images and clickable links.

SkEdit – A Dreamweaver Replacement

2 Jun, 2006

SkEdit is simple, fast, not bloated with useless features and it’s now my Dreamweaver replacement. It’s extremely hard to find an application that can do all that Dreamweaver can, however, it’s even harder to pay $400 for a piece of software.
