I tried to love Markdown and Textile, but as a web developer it just doesn't make sense to write articles with it. I'm often confused about the syntax for writing links and images, and if you want to write about HTML you've got to escape your HTML snippets.
For this reason I wrote my own text formatter, it's basically HTML with a lighter syntax, and like so called "lightweight" markup languages paragraph tags are implied.

That article mentions Symphony, a CMS framework, but it's not tied to that at all, the source code is at:

It's also written in a more sophisticated way that your usual text formatter; by parsing the input and building the output using an XML DOM, you're guaranteed that the output is sane.
The Future of Markdown
Markdown is a simple little humane markup language based on time-tested plain text conventions from the last 40 years of computing. Meaning, if you enter this… …you get this! Lightweight Markup Languages ============================ According to **Wikipedia**: > A [lightweight markup lan...

The PHP Singularity
Look at this incredible thing Ian Baker created. Look at it! What you're seeing is not Photoshopped. This is an actual photo of a real world, honest to God double-clawed hammer. Such a thing exists. Isn't that amazing? And also, perhaps, a little disturbing? That wondrous hammer is a de...
$200 for a router? Ok, maybe. Unfortunately they're asking nearly $300 for it in Australia... what the shit?
Consider that 1AUD = 1USD for more than half a year now.
Because Everyone (Still) Needs a Router
About a year and a half ago, I researched the state of routers: about as unsexy as it gets but essential to the stability, reliability, and security of your Internet connection. My conclusion? This is boring old plain vanilla commodity router hardware, but when combined with an open source fi...
Well then. They all sounded roughly the same (Baad) except for one which was terrible.
I'd be interested to see a comparison like this done with some Black Metal, one live track comes to mind: Satyricon - Mother North (Live from Gjallahorn).
It features a brass section, crowd noises (chanting), slow drumming, fast drumming, even faster guitars.
Here's a crap version on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gye4XCFAmo
The Great MP3 Bitrate Experiment
Lately I've been trying to rid my life of as many physical artifacts as possible. I'm with Merlin Mann on CDs: Although I'd extend that line of thinking to DVDs as well. The death of physical media has some definite downsides, but after owning certain movies once on VHS, then on DVD, and ...
