Since the server this is running on was upgraded to PHP 5, the old Textile 2 plugin no longer functioned.
I have updated this plugin to use version 2.0.8 of the TextilePHP class. Thanks to Adam Gessaman for the original plugin.
You can download textile2.0.8-smartypants.zip or textile2.0.8-smartypants.tar.gz.
Note: This was updated from Adam’s 2.0.3 plugin (not the [...]

Tiger: First Impressions

At first, I must admit that it doesn’t seem like there is a whole lot new. Spotlight is neat, but I already had much of that functionality with Quicksilver. Dashboard is a good idea, but I’m not sure I’ll work it into my daily routine quite yet.
Here’s a list of applications and neat [...]
