Just Checkin’ In
Just here to get my once-a-month post written. There’s some welcome changes within WordPress. One thing that was annoying to me was that you used to be restricted to what widgets the theme used. Nice to be able to customize them a little more.
Some new themes available. Like the cleaner fonts on this one, and not having to read them against a stark white background.

I use an XP machine at work to produce their website and I commonly use [Notepad] for copy/paste scratch or to quickly edit a little JavaScript. I liked that it was just small and light, but it’s absolutely feature-less. So, I looked around to see if there was a Windows equivalent to gedit or Kate, and found Notepad++. It has more features than I would ever possibly use, but it’s nice to have the language highlighting.

I wonder how Notepad++ handles different languages — Arabic/Farsi/Urdu, Hindi, Hebrew, Chinese(s), Japanese, Thai… I’ll have to ask at work if they know the program. The normal Notepad is quite slow with large files, especially when I need to find&replace. And of course, syntax highlighting would be quite helpful. At least there’s an ability to choose encoding which is good.
Just installed Notepad++. Let’s see if Crimson Editor gets thrown in the Trash bin…

About half-way down this page, it lists the languages for download. I spotted Arabic, Chinese and Finnish. It’s so tough looking though a long list of languages that isn’t sorted alphabetically.
Does Notepad even open large files? I thought it automatically made you open it in Wordpad if it was too big.
Oh, here we go… the wiki page says, “In older versions such as those included with Windows 95, 98, ME and 3.1, there is a 64-kilobyte limit on the size of the file being edited, an operating system limit of the EDIT class.”
Is there no limit now, or just a more reasonable one?
