Maybe they just want to avoid confusion with the commercial version during the alpha phase, but it does look a little unprofessional next to the other icons in dock. Fortunately, it’s an easy fix. Here’s how to do it: Download and extract the 1.5 version of TextMate. Ctrl-Click the application and select Show Package Contents. Browse to the Contents > Resources folder and copy the TextMate. http://geek.pittcrew.org/posts/2013/10/open-source-textmate/ Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000 http://geek.pittcrew.org/posts/2013/10/open-source-textmate/ How did I manage to miss this for so long? TextMate, the Mac text editor that set the standard by which all modern programmer’s editors are judged, is now Open Source. TextMate 2.0 is still in alpha status, but the first alpha build was released over 21 months ago, so it’s probably pretty stable by now. You can download the binary, or access the source on GitHub. The latest builds require at least OS X 10. http://geek.pittcrew.org/posts/2013/05/fix-the-open-with-menu-in-mac-os-x/ Sat, 18 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000 http://geek.pittcrew.org/posts/2013/05/fix-the-open-with-menu-in-mac-os-x/ Over time, you’ll probably find duplicate entries cropping up in your Mac’s “Open With” menu.

I’ve always enjoyed learning interesting new languages and environments because I think it makes you a better programmer even if you never use them in a production application. Apple Developer Connection recently posted an article by Mike Clark entitled Using Ruby on Rails for Web Development on Mac OS X. I followed the instructions referenced in the article and had no problem getting the latest versions of Ruby, Rails, and MySQL running on the Mac Mini.
