Healthy code

My mother’s rule of thumb for determining a healthy meal was to judge a meal based on it’s variety of color. A plate full of beige and brownish items translated into a unhealthy carb overload. You needed oranges, reds, greens.

I wonder if we can apply the same concept to code. Does a variety of syntax-highlighted colors relate to better code?

using -webkit-background-size on iPhone 3GS and below, scaling images down to less than 50% of their original size won’t work.

Quicksilver B57 and Snow Leopard

Quicksilver’s doc icon has always bugged me. It’s not an app. Good news, the latest B57 and B58 offer a preference setting for hiding the dock icon. The bad news is that B57 & B58 break Proxy Objects in Snow Leopard. I use Proxy Objects fairly regularly to open Current Selection in certain apps. Opt + Shift + M => Current Selection / Open With / Textmate; Opt + Shift + P => Current Selection / Open With / PhotoShop. After scouring the support forum I relented and just reverted back to B54.

Yay Proxy Objects are back. Boo, dock icon is still there, plus Preferences window is broken.
