TextMate and WriteRoom are, in my view, the obvious choices for the purpose of concentrating efficiently and quickly on what they are good at: coding and writing in simple English.

I will be using just three editing tools, TextMate, blogging software (your choice of MarsEdit or ecto) and WriteRoom, plus Photoshop for formatting pictures and Amadeus Pro for editing audio files. The synergy between them is next to nil, and I could find no application that carried out all three functions properly

Most online or desktop editing tools actually attempt to cover all three of these functions, yet they are totally unrelated by nature. I came to realise that one of the reasons why I was finding blogging so cumbersome was that it compelled me to mix three very different tasks: (1) writing a post, (2) coding it so that it would display properly and include the necessary information and (3) actually publishing that content on my server. The key to better productivity: separate writing, coding and publishing into clearly distinct sequences and find the best tools for doing each If, like me, you enjoy having a site that reflects your personality and tweaking it occasionally, but hate it when maintaining that quality starts taking an unreasonable amount of time that could be spent writing, then read on. If you fall in that category, you probably shouldn’t be reading this but heading towards something like Typepad or Blogger. One solution to that, of course, is to choose the kind of Content Management System that requires zero maintenance, if design and tweaking your content is not important to you. drafting relevant and well-written content.

In this post, I will be looking at the best way to minimise the effort involved in blogging so that you can concentrate on what should, after all, be the main thing, i.e. Also, the prospect of having to spend hours just coding and formatting a post the wording of which is clear in your mind can be enough to make you postpone the ordeal for long enough that, when you get round to writing, the earlier inspiration has gone. Using the most efficient tools to blog is something well worth investing a little bit of time in, at least if you do spend a lot of time blogging, rather than-as happens to me all too often-tweaking your sites to make them look nicer or trendier and not writing any content as a result. Because the post below is itself now partly out of date and no longer reflects the way in which I write blog posts, you may also want to read two more recent articles I posted on ways in which I use MarsEdit, Amazon Cloudfront and Markdown with WordPress, and the use of iOS apps, Dropbox and Automator to streamline and automate the blogging process.

Below are instructions on how to configure a Bamboo build to run gradlew.Update November 6, 2010: This was an updated version of a post published on mey previous blog on November 6 2007, and now no longer online because I have switched all my blog posts to this domain. And, Bamboo has a feature run any script you like for builds. Luckily, gradle has a great feature which allows you to run gradle builds on machines without gradle installed: gradlew. However, Bamboo doesn’t natively support gradle. I’m using the hosted Atlassian suite, so my continuous integration environment is Bamboo. The one issue I had was integrating gradle into my continuous integration tool.

I’m really enjoying using it for my new projects, and I love having a full scripting language (Groovy) to write my builds in. Gradle is an excellent build tool for your projects.
