If you haven’t heard by now, Panic, makers of fine Mac software, just released their latest app: Coda
Pros: It’s very good at doing what it says–providing a one-window web development environment.
Cons: It may not be your perfect solution.
Should you purchase it? Well I’d strongly suggest downloading the fully-functional 15 day trial and running it through the paces and see if it fits your workflow. It works for me but it may not work for you.
Will it solve all my personal issues? No. But it can free up your screen real-estate. Which may or may not be a personal issue.

Things are starting to get busy enough at MPHI that they’ve asked me to work at least half a day more. Meanwhile the Interactive Solutions Group just finished an in-departmental move and I now have my own little office. It doesn’t have external windows, but it does have a thermostat and a close-to-arctic temperature HVAC vent. At first I just bore the cold air in stoic silence, concentrating on the ever present projects I have to complete. But finally I emailed the office manager and they got some of the property big-wigs to come take a look at it today. And what do you know, the the thermostat clock was off by 12 hours. So at 3pm I was getting the 3am cool-down which about froze my fingers off. But now it appears everything is back to normal.

As noted on Checksum Arcanius, my brother’s blog, Hibachi2 is now available for viewing. As this is its first public release, issues will invariably reveal themselves. As the designer of said Wordpress theme, I’d like to know about them and see if I can’t make it an even better theme. Feel free to post in the comments any issues you find. And one of these days I’ll get a link up for the general public to download and use the refined, pacific-rim culture inspired Wordpress theme that is known as Hibachi.
