Today I upgraded the site to the official theme of RouteCafe Blog. The theme images were done in the GIMP, including the header and the site itself. As you noticed it also has some icons, they are the famous famfamfam icons.

The main site of RouteCafe is going to be opened eventually. I’ve been working on several things and also been attending life issues. I’m happy to announce the main target audience that will be the future of RouteCafe.

What is RouteCafe?

RouteCafe is a social community, my target is to motivate PhotoShop Users to contribute in the GIMP, and put additional power over the GIMP Software to continue the movement of the community. RouteCafe is not limited to GIMP Users, we want to allow all kind of audience to share their knowledge and remarks.

Downtime

If you commented in any of my posts and now it’s not there I apologize. This site was moved to a new server where Apache does not exist. Dataloss was something I couldn’t prevent, but no worries now it’s up and running with a sleek design on!

Note that the server is fairly new and you might notice some weird things going on in the site (which I hope that never happens). If there’s something broken in the blog just contact me at

One more thing~

I’m going to try my best to provide a better articulated post for you all. Note that this blog covers many things besides GIMP and it might not be what you expected. Even if my grammar is not the best—if you get the How-To’s and Tutorials done then my work is done.

Happy surfing!

These are two editors you might want to consider in your Windows Platform, they are also great suggestions that some people gave me in WebHostingTalk to ditch Notepad++.

Intype

Intype is still in Alpha, meaning that it doesn’t include many features, except the very basic of an editor. This doesn’t mean is no good, Intype is beautifully thought out in both interface and concept. Although its syntax support is very poor you might expect that when it hits Beta it will be worth the time waiting.

PSPad

PSPad is like Notepad++, but the approach to the design is slightly different, it also has some autocomplete tags that are helpful when programming. This is also the main one I’m using to program my scripts. PSPad is heavily featured for your daily use, the difference is that it launches 100x times faster than a Dreamweaver.

This hasn’t be released yet, this post includes some screenshots of Wordpress 2.5. In March 10, 2.5 beta was supposed to be released to the public. Wordpress 2.5 is pretty much stable right now-from what I can tell is that they did some changes over the admin panel, the theme is still the same as 2.3.

The expected version, in a week starting from March, 10, is going to be a whole new experience for both developers and designers. Amazingly this new version is a bit lighter than any other wordpress version that have been released in the past, and this is really good news for huge sites that uses modified wordpress.

Here is what you can expect from WP 2.5

Overall, I personally don’t like the new Admin panel look, it’s too bulky. It takes away the real usability of the old 2.3. I don’t think people need bulky things that take space, really. I think they all just want to write, don’t become another blogger (reference to their interface).
