NVU – Open Source web development software

Hi everyone. So I finally was able to reformat the tablet computer (with xp tablet addition thanks to Tim) and I’m trying to see how long I survive using only open source software – minus the o/s since otherwise the tablet features are useless. Anyway, I found a couple of software that I think is pretty neat. And again.. it’s open source, so it’s free.

NVU – this one’s great for a Dreamweaver alternative.

Gimp – Kind of like photoshop.. takes a bit to get used to.

Inkscape – Very much like Fireworks, but has a few really nice features.

That’s pretty much it for now. Things like Firefox and Filezilla you all should know by now. I’ll see if I can draw up anything neat to post.

Anyway, everything’s been going pretty well on my side. Christine’s been feeling well which is a good sign. We’re at about.. wow… almost 5 months now. Which means soon we get to see the sonogram of the baby!! Crazy.

I think Mark and Kristin are coming in this weekend too so we get to see their freshly engaged-selves.

Well, other than that… nothing else really new. Pittsburgh was supposed to be covered in ice today. PennDOT did a too-nice-of-a-job cleaning up the roads. Right now it’s just raining and nasty. Anyway, I’ll keep on posting. This is much nicer than what I used to have. Until then… stay warm!
