Since I feel the need to post something irrelevant about Web Dev sometimes I made this thread for us so we can talk about how you accidently lost your website template after your PC crashed, your new job or begging for a website banner.
Gonna start this thread by asking what you listen to, or what you do in general when busy with your website?
I usually have iTunes Radio on, AH.FM in the electronic genre.
I like listening to slow, relaxing jazz when working on my site, it helps bring out my creative side.
I thought I knew quite the basic of PHP and wanted to make a simple forum out of my shoutbox system.
Boy, was I wrong.
It easy if you know how todo, then it's about doing it the fast way or the proper way. Myself is doing it the fast way, just to make it work for now, but later going to the proper way with classes and such.

Odd, I prefer heavy metal. Maybe that's why I use so much noise.
I like Death Metal, but not in the background. I think it's something you have to focus on when listening.
At work I usually listen to metal, but when I really want to concentrate, I listen to classical.
Today I wanted to post a link here but there wasn't apropriate thread for it, but now that there is, I'll post it here:

Awesome news.
Hmmm, PHP is towards it's downfall.

So relaxing :D
Well, I'm off for school for 8 hours. :smith:
I love iTunes Genius:

Not at all.
So whats your editor of choice, mine is n++. I tried sublime text and just can't get into it after using n++ for so long.

Sublime. Once Sublime 2 gets proper html tab completion support (in Sublime 1.4, type an html tag, like p, html, div, ul, li, a, etc., and hit tab, it creates an opening and closing tag and puts the cursor between them), I'll be swapping over to that; the feature lets you get the markup of a site done really fast.

Sorta like dreamweavers dropdown for tags. That might make me switch :v:.

I use Zen-coding, so HTML takes literally seconds anyway. I use N++ because it has features I use.
So I was using Sublime text last night and was really liking the auto <> and "". Then I got the popup saying that it is not free :saddowns:.
Sublime Text, also working with some C#, and it's being all mean to me :saddowns:
[QUOTE=jaybuz;28112460]I use Zen-coding, so HTML takes literally seconds anyway.[/QUOTE]
I never think far enough ahead for zen coding; not like 'okay, so, three divs, and a ul and 4 lis inside each..' so I never really bother with it. There is a Zen coding plugin for ST if I ever felt compelled to try it again.

I would hope so :v:

Yep, well, [url="http://www.sublimetext.com/buy"]it's not[/url]. If you don't buy it, you occasionally get that nag.

$60 for a text editor, is it really worth it? Who here owns a license and is 100% satisfied?

Bought it within about half an hour of using it (I'd been trying to find a textmate alternative for Windows for ages), didn't even see a prompt that I needed to buy it.
That said, it all depends on how much [i]you[/i] like the program; if you're still unsure, keep using it, see if it becomes a part of your daily workflow. There aren't any additional features locked in the demo mode, so don't necessarily splash out the money unless you're sure you want it. Notepad++ is a great, open source program, I just don't begrudge the Sublime Text developer, Jon Skinner, from getting paid for his time and effort; I use it every day in my line of work, and some of the features (like the minimap, which is so useful for long css files) actually make me enjoy writing markup (shocking, I know :v:).
Switched back to PhpStorm from Zend Studio, ZS started to choke on my larger projects.

Just decided to check out Sublime Text 2. Dayum it's better than any other editor I've used. I love the changes to the UI.

I hope you're using VS if you're using C#...
Been wanting to ask this without derailing a thread or making one for a while now, so I guess I'll ask here. What RSS/Twitter feeds do you guys subscribe to for inspiration and tutorials, if any?

I do, it's totally worth it.
