Following the 500 words lost incident earlier today I’ve upgraded the tools that I use for posting to this weblog a little. I now use [TextMate](http://macromates.com/), a fabulous text editor that I use for all my coding. I found out it had a blogging interface, and away I went…
To make that work a little better, I’ve also installed [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) support. Markdown is a very nice way of putting codes like links and *italic* and __bold__ into the posts[^1].
All in all this makes posting a lot easier, and it also handles pictures much more quickly, so I have fewer excuses for my lack of posts than ever!
[^1]: And it lets me make very neat footnotes, which makes me quite happy.
