A Smarter MAMP
I’ve been using MAMP, Headdress and Quicksilver to streamline the creation of new virtual hosts for local development but Jason’s BIND/VirtualDocumentRoot technique looks promising. ![]()
Validator app for OS X
Linked everywhere a while back. Handy for days when the W3C’s “Validate by file upload” feature appears to be hosed (today seems to be one such day) or when you’re offline (say, traveling). Drag and drop to validate local files couldn’t be easier. ![]()
