Boo, scared ya ? Pumpkin and textmate and ZeFrank

OK this is a bit late as I spotted it yesterday but didn't have a chance to blog it... I am getting quite in to ruby and rails etc, something about David Heinemeier Hansson's Germanic accent turns me on. OK That last bit is a lie, I have watched his how too videos in which he promotes textmate from macromatesas his editor of choice for rails.

I poney'd up the cash and bought a legit copy after a prolonged testing period. Imagine my surprise when I fired up the little blighter yesterday to find the icon had switched to a Pumpkin and the dialog boxes all were adorned with Orange Halloween faces.



Further more I opened an empty project to test something and found the display covered in spider webs...

Here you can tell why they only develop for macs, can you imagine this going down well on the PC platform. Helplines would be deluged with calls about the ghost in the machine, the virus ravaging files and destroying data, when it's just some developer having some fun.

In a vague linkyness I will send you all off to see ZeFrank with his Pumpkin pages

ps Regarding ZeFrank I now have the lovely old lady with her guitar singing "Welcome to the show" as my ring tone...here is the lady I'm on about. She also is my alarm noise in the morning too... well cool.

Duckies.
