Here’s this week’s list of things to check out:
- Markdown Monster: I tried this Markdown blogging app a while back, but never got it to work. I installed it yesterday on my Alienware R6 (it’s Aaron’s old gaming rig, that sat unused in his closet for a while until I resurrected it and overstuffed it with 32 GB of RAM), and it works pretty well. I’m having a hard time understanding how to get image posting working, but hopefully I’ll figure it out. It does some clever things, like grabbing your clipboard when you hit control-k to add a link to text in your post. I’m guessing you could just use Markdown Monster for all of your Markdown needs, but that’s what Typora is for.
- BatteryBar Pro: This little Windows utility is a nice stand-in for Coconut Battery on the Mac. It’s better than the default battery status report Windows will generate for you. Not that pretty but that’s Windows utilities for you.
- The BankBar in Gloucester City: I wrote this up a bit this morning, but it’s a good spot worth a stop. Gloucester City is a blue-collar town, and has always felt comfortable to me coming from Millville and Vineland, as I do. And hey: the name is CamelCased.
