Sonuku Coda Theme

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

This is tightly based off the Monokai theme, just with some slight tone changes to make it pretty to my eye. Anyone thats used textmate monokai, or e-texteditor monokai, you prettymuch dont want to ever code in another colour set again.

I could crap on a bit about the colour scheme, or just show it to you.

coda_sonuku

Currently supports AS, CSS, HTML, JAVA, JAVASCRIPT, PERL, PHP-HTML, SQL, XML
I didn’t bother with the other stuff, cause hey, I never use it ^_^, make your own! You got a good colour base to go off.

screen_cssscreen_htmlscreen_php

So
Download them, install them, love them.

Background Color: #222222
Text Color: #ffffff
Invisible Character Color: #7f7f7f
REMEMBER! Use ‘Inverted Colours’!

Download Sonuku_Coda_1.6.8
4kb zip of zipperness. Updated 19th Jan 2010.

Thanks to Monokai, ur rad.
If you’re forced to work on a mac, at least make it comfortable.

Workin’ at Couch, again!

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

So! Here we are again, after another failed job, I was re-employed within a week of the drama. Initially I accepted a job with Zoo, but found the situation at Couch to be a little more ‘needy’. So Lex Holden and I signed on, and have been here since September something.

This makes it my second tour of Couch. Worked here as a junior back in 2004. Seems the business has matured, less confusion.

Its been good, we’ve setup an SVN, new development server, changed coding environments, put a WIKI in place for all digital stuff. Basically they were using Google Docs to organize everything web related. Which was a huge gaping mess of mixed emotions and confusion.

This is a postback, as the real date is Jan 19th 2010, but it feels more appropriate to put this in as a November entry. I had hesitations divulging where I was working for a little while.

Voluntary Administration

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

You never what to hear these two words spoken in the same sentence, ever.

Was told via email, not even face to face, that the company that I work for has hit the wall and is in 20,000 bleeding pieces. And heres the kicker, I jinxed myself. The night before getting told I’m going to be redundant soon, I was discussing with Alice about how secure I felt in my job, and how integral I was to ‘business as usual’.

Send sandwiches, I’m going to be hungry!

So now I crouch low, assume the fetal position, and see what happens next. I’ve put my name in the hat, lets see what happens!

Strangely enough, I don’t feel worried about anything at the moment.  My skill-set is good, I’m not old, and rent is paid up for another month. I’ll get another job. Be it through somewhere new, or someone in the past.

Duck and cover.
