If you like the GIMP for image editing and have a Mac OS X machine, try Seashore. It does the same basic stuff that the GIMP does but in a Cocoa interface and only about 6MB (compared to 61MB for GIMP).

Seashore works decently and I like it because you don’t have to go through the X11 thing to emulate X windows. I used Seashore until I discovered Mac Paintbrush. Paintbrush is much faster and satisfies my rudimentary needs.

Just note — if you want to save stuff and preserve your layers, be sure to save it as GIMP .xcf format. I thought it might do layers for PNG but maybe only the old Macromedia Fireworks program can do that. I loved Fireworks.

• Download Textile for Drupal 5 in the official releases area

• download the attachments into your textile dir (3 files)

• Patch the files (cd into your textile dir)

patch textile.info < textile.info_.6.patch
patch textile.install < textile.install.6.patch
patch textile.module < textile.module.6.patch

Damn Google App Engine always wants me to do a software update. There are no options to disable the feature and they update the damn thing just about every day. I found some instructions on how to disable Google’s annoying auto update agent. Go to hell auto-updater!

Long story short — look for this file then delete it.

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent.plist

If you want to keep the file follow the instruction on the guy’s website.
