Zen Coding high-speed HTML shorthand plug-in updated

zencoding
Zen Coding made quite a splash when we first covered it almost a year ago. For those who aren't familiar, Zen is a fantastic form of shorthand for quickly hand-coding HTML. And today, a new version is out!

Here are some of the goodies version 0.7 brings to the party:

  • Text nodes: Writing something like a[href=/]{Click here} now works, and puts "Click here" within the link.
  • New actions added: Increment/decrement number under cursor, evaluate math expressions, and more.
  • Wrap with Abbreviation was upgraded.
There are several other improvements but they're all rather technical. If you use Zen Coding (or are intrigued by the concept) go ahead and read the release notes for this new version.

Zen Coding has official implementations for a ton of editors, including TextMate, Apatana, Coda, E2, Komodo, Notepad++, PSPad, and more. It also has unofficial builds for Vim, UltraEdit, Visual Studio and more.

If you want to play with Zen Coding without installing it, you can use the online demo to see some of its magic in action.

Porsche 918 Spyder caught on tape at the Nürburgring, bank accounts shiver (video)

Porsche 918 Spyder spotted during testing session at Nrburgring, bank accounts shiver video

Started saving up for your $845,000 purchase next fall yet? Yeah, neither have we. But we're at least considering it once again -- albeit not for very long -- thanks to a sneaky videographer that caught the dapper Porsche 918 Spyder winding around the turns of the Nürburgring in Germany. Packing a V8 with two electric motors, the super car can hit 60MPH in a hair over three seconds and touts a fuel efficiency of 78MPG. Don't worry, though, you have until sometime late next year to get your stacks lined up to park one in your driveway.

Libra for Android helps you track your weight using The Hacker's Diet system

libra
I'm getting fat; that's what you see on the screenshot to the right -- my gradual move from chubby to portly. But never mind the numbers, look at the pretty graph!

If you've ever read The Hacker's Diet, this graph should be instantly recognizable. Each point shows the weight for a given day, while the trend line lets you see if you're gaining or losing weight.

When I use my "main" PC, I have a homebrew solution for creating and maintaining this graph. But I've had to find a temporary solution for Android, and Libra is it.

It's a beautifully simple app, very true to the spirit of The Hacker's Diet. You can create a shortcut on your homescreen that brings you right into the data entry screen, so you just tap the shortcut every morning, feed in your weight for the day and hit OK, and then you get to see your progress (or lack thereof) on the graph.

The app remembers the previous day's weigh-in, which makes it easy to enter today's weight (as they're usually not too different). The graph is zoomable and scrollable, and most importantly, you can export the data to CSV so you're not locked into the app.

If you ever need to track your weight using an Android device for any period of time, Libra is one excellent solution.

Fieldrunners 2 for iPhone hits the App Store

Fieldrunners 2 for iPhone hits the App Store

For fans of the original Fieldrunners game, the wait for Fieldrunners 2 likely has felt like an eternity. Now though, that wait is over as Subatomic Studios has released Fieldrunners 2 for iPhone into the iOS App Store. Bringing along the same strategic-action-puzzle-defense gameplay from the first game, Fieldrunners 2 has 20 new levels as well as 20 new weapons to choose from that will help keep you busy trying to defend the world. Other key features of the game include:

  • Pint sized invaders seeking revenge!
  • Hours of action across a huge world stuffed with levels!
  • 20 unique, upgradable weapons for stopping the enemies in style!
  • Retina display support makes hyper detailed hand painted artwork shine!
  • Air strikes, mines, and powerful items let you attack with the precision of a surgeon!
  • Sudden Death, Time Trial, and Puzzle type levels put a fresh spin on tower defense!
  • Trenches, bridges, and tunnels make strategic choices more important than ever!
  • Customizable loadouts so you can pick the perfect weapons for each battle!
  • Revolutionary AI lets the fieldrunners move with stunning realism!
  • Elite enemy types bring new challenges to the battlefield!
  • A tower that launches bee hives!

Of course, you'll need to develop a strategy in order to stop the invasion but considering you've had years to prepare for this, it shouldn't be all that difficult. We'll be giving Fieldrunners 2 a full review over the next few days but for now, you head on into the iOS App Store and grab the download right now and give it a go for yourself. And by all means, feel free to let us know in the comments what you think of this long-awaited sequel.

Chromium browser for Raspberry Pi beta available

Well known ChromiumOS developer Hexxeh has been fiddling around with the Raspberry Pi since its debut and his latest experiment is a beta version of the Chromium browser, ready to run on Raspbian images. While it's not the full Chromium OS (that's still under development) it should help ease the pain of browsing the web on one of the $35 Broadcom-powered units. It still requires quite a bit of horsepower however, so overclocking your Raspberry Pi and using a fast USB stick or SD card for storage is advised, hit the source link below for more instructions on downloading and running the 35MB~ package.
