Tools of the Trade, 2003

This site is created using ...

• ... computers. Actually, it's now much more of just one computer. My desktop PCs are now playing a vastly diminished role in site development and maintenance. In part because I got myself a domain and webhosting, but also because I got myself a 12 inch PowerBook that I do just about all development and updates on. I don't even use the site version on Pigbox for development anymore since Pomum does Apache with php and mySQL perfectly, and in a much smaller and quieter package to boot.
• ... software. All the server stuff is still the same, the good old Apache/php/mySQL trio mentioned above. The default web browser has switched over to Safari though, and the code editing gets done in the text editor that comes with OS X. It's not the best editor I've seen (argh, no line count!), but it's not bad enough that I've got around to looking for a better alternative yet.

In short, I think I can honestly say this ...
