ita,
I think the invisible files are ghost files that are created when you access a mac disk in a non-mac operating system. I think deleting them are fine, but I am not sure.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

TextMate is my favorite coding editor. It does mixed mode syntax highlighting very well (like bits of JavaScript in an HTML file) and is easily extended.
Check out Understanding File System Metadata for the skinny on those files. In the case of the image files I assume it's the Quick View preview data.

If you want something free for just occasional notes (and even for lite coding) EditPad Lite is good. I like it better than notepad++ just because the interface is more intuitive for my particular brain. (Very subjectived) [link]
Intended as an upscale notepad - not in the same class as Sublime and such. But it is perfect for quick disposable notes, light coding and such.

I think of editpad as the "stays out of my way" text editor -does not have the limitations and quirks of notepad and the compatatively small feature set is great when you are not going to be using those features anyway. Would not use it for heavy coding , but great if you are writing a 25 line scrip. Would not use it for full featured note taking, but great to write the equivalent of an electronic sticky note.

Our wings are not tired
Does anyone here have some USB hubs that they really like and that can provide a decent amount of power? I'd like one that has at least 7 ports, and probably more like 10+ and that can handle at least two iPhones and four iPads and then still handle a couple of jump drives or portable hard drives when needed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So I bought an iPad on Saturday. My initial reaction is "It's very pretty!"
Then I bought an ebook for the iBooks reader, which was cool except I then discovered that Apple doesn't have an iBooks reader for OS X--apparently in order to get more iPad sales.
For folks who have iPads, what ebook reader do you use?

I have several installed, but mostly I use the Kindle app because that's where all my ebooks are from.

If you didn't have an investment in Kindle ebooks, which reader do you think is better?
I'm not just concerned about how the reader works, but how the whole ebook ecosystem (price, book availability, DRM, etc) works on a particular reader.
I think I'm mostly going to by ebooks (instead of dead-tree books) from now on, and I wanna find a good platform before I start investing $ in lots of books.
