TextMate blogging & the Objective C book intro

with 2 comments

Following the this video I did not managed to post through TextMate the famous MacOSX all-in-one editor. Although the blog functionality seems quite elegant doesn’t work as it should.
First all when fetching post’s through wordpress.com it fetches my Dashboard articles and not my previous posts. I don’t know why, maybe Wordpress API is not working as it should? I’m quite positive that Allan’s blog should be a WordPress blog although from the video I didn’t understand if it’s WordPress or webpress, the spelling was not clear enough plus the fact I don’t speak native English, so I can’t be sure. He uses Markdown instead of HTML though. When I post I get error cannot post to this blog or category - (401). So if anyone reading this (Hello?) has managed to use TextMate with wordpress.com please let me know. Anyway..
I purchased from Amazon the following book: Programming in Objective-C by Stephen Kochan.
The first impression is good. The book seems to be what I needed in first place and has some positive feedback at Amazon’s website.

Jeez, writing in simple html for blog post’s in TextMate is much more easy then using other editors! Actually most of my posts were written in TextEdit which I like very much for it’s power and simplicity, but it’s not an HTML editor to make an acceptable comparison!

I noticed that most of the mac programs like the one’s already mentioned, QuickSilver, VoodooPad, etc. are made in a very smart, elegant, simple yet powerful way. It’s not just the operating system, it’s the entire community that has a genius mindset :-)
uhh!!
I need to get some sleep and read a bit about instances and methods!!!

Cheerz!

EDIT: Update! I’m editing through TextMate!

My mistake was putting the this line:

oxyCo http://atma@wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

instead of this:

oxyCo http://atma@atma.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php

Now seems to work perfectly! :-)

EDIT2: I just purchased TextMate. Hope it’s worth the 39$!!
