Why not using an intuitive language to explain to other language what to do ? This is the basic idea for the "Zen Coding" tool !

Just write some simple hieroglyph like line bellow, and execute the "zen coding transformation":
#page>div.logo+ul#navigation>li*5>a
The you will get :
<div id="page"> <ul id="navigation"> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </div>
Cool tool, no ?

have a try in your favorite code editor !

you can also discover Zen Coding power through the following video:

RedCar is a brand new programmer's editor ruby oriented, and ruby developed.
And on of the main feature of this new text editor, it's to be JRuby compatible natively ! A good news for the multiplatform world.

to be tested to help dev team to improve this cool programmer's tool.
Is it possible to optimize such editor for Rails and Hobo ?

Micro blogging, updated sites detection, and fast launching anything on my netbook running Ubuntu eee 8.04.1 is what is now possible thank to the following fabulous tools:

Gwibber

It's a webkit based poster for any blog/twitter/facebook platform. Well rendered, the tool use the apple opensourced version of webkit, the HTML renderer. with a userfriendly interface, anybody can now feed its muti sourced blogs and be advertized when a known and wel configured site was updated.
- install gwibber.
Specto

It's an old tool, but nothing replace this llittle thing which permit you tobe informed when a site was updated, giving a little mesage from the gnome panel that the site John Doe was updated.
- download specto.
Gnome-Do

the faster way to start anything on your laptop ! Just push the "super"+"space" combination keys and you'll just have to input some first letters of what you want to do, "facebook" for exemple will open your bookmark from firefox or epiphany to te facebook site, "text" will route you to the "OpenOffice Text writer" and if more than one item respond to your input, a list will appear pressing "down key", and then, just hit the "enter" or "return" key and that's all !
- install gnome-do
[edit] Add the --mini parameter to the gnome-do command and you'll get a well netbook feated UI ! great, thanks to Alex for the tips.

Thanks to opensource software to solve all these every day life problems ;)
