Using textmate as a blog editing tool

Mephisto and ecto do not get along readily… I mean, things work, but they are not fast and feel far from bulletproof.

I just started using the textmate blog editing bundle by Brad Choate to update this blog.

I watched a screencast that convinced me.

I’m liking it quite a lot… Working solely in text with markdown is somewhat liberating. I think with some good quicksilver-foo, it would make for some fun blogging workflow.

Furthermore, I can then keep local versions of all my blog posts as subversion-friendly text.

I’d like to work on hacking into the bundle to grab a full backup in text-friendly format.
