Tidbits 21 November 2009

Poedit is a useful tool for providing source files and having it extract text based on specific keywords. I used this for a Facebook application and it seems to be pretty speed, likely this is because it is “harcoded” so it essentially does a lookup. In any case this could be useful in languages other than PHP as well if there are libraries to interact with it.

A couple personal learning. I’ve been drinking more coffee lately. This started because of some rough nights and hence tired mornings but I discovered I’m actually enjoying it. Also my tastes in general seem to be changing. For example I had a tasty pickle the other day. I used to really dislike pickles.

Lastly for today I’ve come to accept I am in fact a smoker. I smoke infrequently because of the health concerns but I’ll smoke ‘em if you’ve got ‘en. I feel this is the same sort of important personal admission as admitting to a drinking problem.
