Strange. Dreamweaver is a professional application. It should be able to do that.

Aayush, can't you use iWeb for the time being?

------
I don't know if it's possible. Can't you create your site in RapidWeaver & publish it with iWeb or manually?

Newsflash: Dreamweaver sucks.

(I hope I don't start a web development app war out here... )

 

[narangz]

^^ Na re. No war. Which application do you prefer for Windows. Now please don't say Windows suck & so do it's apps (like you always do)

Here's something to read. Actually a must read for all- for Bill Gates haters & admirers:

PSPad is the closest app I think that comes to Coda. But that's not even 20% of what Coda is.

@narangz: Amazing read! Aaysuh, you might wanna read it.

Its hard to say otherwise. For Windows I would highly recommend...Dreamweaver! Actually I don't know about other stuff cause back when I used Windows I was a Dreamweaver boy.

Aayush here uses SteerMouse, right ? Goobi does too ? Who has a working copy of it ?

I am going to buy myself the Logitech MX518.

 

[goobimama]

Nope. Never tried SteerMouse. I'm using a Wacom pen tablet so that's the end of that story...

 

[preshit.net]

Oh, right.

 

[aryayush]

I have no clue what SteerMouse is either. I use Smart Scroll X though, in case SteerMouse is similar to it. Are you talking about the iPhone-esque scrolling?

 

[goobimama]

Well the quarries are down, so you might have to hit the one with the question for a name to steer that mouse into control... if you get what I'm saying...

@aayush: SteerMouse allows you to configure all those complex functions of a mouse. You know, these fancy mice which come with more buttons than you can count on one go...

Genius.

The one difference between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (if there were only one, that is)

There’s an old memo from billg making its rounds through the tubes lately, and it’s very interesting for a few reasons........

.........The problem here is that there doesn’t appear to be any followthrough whatsoever. The people to whom he sent the email have done nothing to fix the problems. While I’m sure they’ve gone and done a lot of interesting work, nothing they’ve done has solved the basic problems that Bill has outlined in his email. Windows Update is still slow, it still asks you to restart at weird times (to be fair, so does Apple’s Software Update). The Microsoft website is still incomprehensible. Add/Remove programs is a wasteland. Little, if anything, has changed here. This is five years later.

Read the full thing...

Has anyone checked out the PicLens plugin? Awesome 3D way of viewing youtube and Flickr and all that. I don't know it its gonna get old, but currently it seems to be the way to go.

Unfortunately the latest version with all the cool 3D youtube stuff only works in Firefox. I'm guessing the Safari update is coming soon. (no support for Windows Safari though).

 

[hellknight]

The Piclens plugin works great on Mac version of firefox.. but it supports less sites..
Hey do you guys know how to compile C++ programs on mac? and please tell me how to configure Rediff bol on Mac..

 

[goobimama]

Was just watching some old keynotes. Must say people are a lot more excited about Apple now than they were back then. I mean, when he pulled out the iBook, there was no major clapping, no wows and all that. Also the presentations were more like he was trying to get people to buy the products.

Now its more like take it if you want it (and I know you want it!).

@kellhnight: Pretty sure all that coding stuff revolves around Xcode. Why don't you start looking there? In any case, programming for the mac is generally done in Objective-C. Not sure how these things relate to each other, I'm just speaking out of my ignorant mind...

 

[hellknight]

Ok thanx for that.. and btw can you please tell me where can i find the video when audience booed for 42 seconds when Apple announced partnership with Microsoft back in '97 (i think so)..

 

[goobimama]

Knock yourself out!

Believe it or not, every mac developer (Apple included) I've sent feedback to, either via email or via a crash report, has been responded to. And very personal and detailed replies that too. Every one of them.

 

[hellknight]

Thank you very much for this my friend.. i desperately needed it.. you know i'm a big fan of Pirates of the Silicon Valley and Steve Jobs (Along with RMS, LT & Eric Raymond). Pirates of the Silicon Valley is at #2 on my fav movie list (#1 being Saving Private Ryan)

I am going to buy myself the Logitech MX518.

I own one and it's great!
BTW It is a gaming mouse.Why would you need to use it with a Mac?

My .mac account was imported in September 2005,WAAAAYYYY too old.Any problems with this?

 

[preshit.net]

I couldn't find a better, ergonomically designed mouse programmable buttons. If you know any, please point me towards it.

I'm not buying it because it's a Gaming mouse. I'm buying it because for 1200 INR, I get a kick butt mouse with an ergonomic design and 7 programmable buttons with an 1800dpi optical scan engine.
