Ode to Apple

Well, I bought a MacHeist Bundle long ago and I’ve not really used most of the applications. TextMate is a part of that bundle. However, I bought TextMate few weeks earlier to the MacHeist and now I’ve 2 licenses with me. TextMate is licensed at €39 per Single User License.

I’ve decided to gift one license to a deserving person but on one simple condition.

You’ve to either write or link-back to this blog or any article within this blog. Anyone with the maximum number of link-backs to this blog or a particular article will be given this TextMate License. I’ll be watching my Mint’s Stats for the same for the month of February starting today. So, you’ve the whole month of February to get the TextMate license. However, if you don’t have a blog/site but uses one of the Social Networking sites, then please inform me about your activity so I can track it. If the incoming Traffic surge is good enough, then we might not need to wait till end of this month.

What is TextMate?

Well, here is an excerpt right from their website ;

Whether you are a programmer or a designer, the production of code and markup is hard work. Without an editor dedicated to the task, it is also often cumbersome, overwhelming, and repetitive. Especially when you are dealing with a lot of files at once — like most projects do. TextMate puts you back in control, reduces the mental overhead, and turns manual work into something the computer does.

Personally, it is my favorite Text Editor.

UPDATES

2007 Feb 22 — The Commercial TextMate license is given to Kobak as it was directing enough visits right on after Digg, Technorati, StumbleUpon and MacApper. All others are social sites, while MacApper is a team effort and thus I felt Kobak is the right winner.
