Are you a rubix cube fan? If you are or are a person just looking for a hard puzzle, then this is for you- THE PETAMIX. The Petaminx is a face turning dodecahedral puzzle with 4 slices per face. It is like a rubix cube in that you are trying to get all of the same colors on each side but it contains tons more squares pieces and more sides then a standard rubix cube. This makes solving this puzzle even more challenging and rewarding. Another plus is this thing is not in stores!! So on top of being the master of one of theses you can flash around your geeky toy to the world and declare you obsession with rubix cube solving to the world! If you wana check it out, watch the youtube video below. For instructions on building your own and more information go to here.
When writing web code, wether in php, javascript, or classic html, people like to use code editor software to make sure their syntax is correct and be able to manipulate and preview their changes with ease. Personally I just notepad (win) or text editor (os x) usually for editing websites but if I need a code editor I turn to my copy of dreamweaver. In this economy however most enthusiasts don’t have the money throw away for an expense editor like Dreamweaver. As a result if you are looking for a free code editor try one of the following:
Nvu
Uses Mozilla Gecko as its rendering image and as a result displays the same it will look in Firefox. Nvu also includes cool features like a built in ftp editor, site editor, and awesome css editor.
License GPL, cost Free. Platforms Win | Mac | Linux
Amaya
A website editor released by w3c, you can expect it focus on web coding standards. This lacks ftp support unlike Nvu though but includes a web browser view option.
License: W3C, cost free. Platforms Win | Mac | Linux
Bluefish Editor
One of the only editors for linux, Bluefish editor is a fast stable editor and if your on linux you can’t go wrong with this choice. It sates on its site it can open up to 500+ simultaneous documents.
License: GPL, cost free. Platforms Mac | Linux | (Windows with CYGWIN)
Aptana Studio
A great robust editor for creating web application with support for JavaScript, Ruby on Rails, and PHP development. It also has great Ajax, DOM, HTML and CSS support and plug-ins for Adobe AIR and Apple iPhone development.
