Sublime Text. The text editor you have been looking for

2015-11-17 / / 0 Comments

The reason why I didn’t use Sublime Text is really really simple, I thought it was commercial and cannot be used for free, read on to find out what changed my mind.. Build 3083These are the reasons that make Sublime text one of the best text editors out there

Lightning fast

Opens up in less in a second! Compared to “other” text editors I reviewed on this blog.

Great look

It turns your dull code into a work of art! It’s really easier to write code when the syntax is highlighted so you know what you are doing!

 

Sublime text interface

Rich language support

Many programming languages and scripts are supported (over 40 in total) and has the ability to write prose as well.

Steady development

Currently at Version 3 (beta) and moving forward. It’s been around long enough and it’s stable enough to be used by many developers.

There is also a final version of Sublime 2.0.2 but it lacks the functionality that v3 has

Cross platform

No matter what OS are you on. Sublime is there for you and has your back all the way!

Did you know that the license works on all of your machines? Linux Mac and Windows??

Light weight

Compared to other editors, it’s a breeze! It takes around 10-50 MB in the system memory in one process. That’s nothing compared to the resource hog Atom!

Nothing is too big for Sublime!

Can open huge files in less than a minute without haste! No crashing on 1MB .js in here!

Free. Almost

That’s the reason I didn’t want to use it because of! I thought it wasn’t free! The word unregistered version is what sent me packing. It’s not like I don’t want to pay. I can’t (my country doesn’t support Paypal! And get this: I don’t have a visa!!)

I sent them an e-mail and this is what they have sent me:

 

”Hi Muaad,

Thanks for your email.

The trial period is indefinite; you can use it for free for as long as you like. The reason we offer it as unlimited is primarily so students and users in developing countries can use Sublime without the burden of paying for it. If you like Sublime and can afford a license, we ask that you buy one to support us.

Cheers

That is so awesome!!

I will pay for it as soon I get my e-commerce ready!

Nothing is perfect

My only con is that Sublime doesn’t support Arabic by default. So I had to install a third party plug in. Other than that. Truly the best text editor out there!

Give it a try and I urge you to buy it if you can!

 

Installing Windows 10 insider on Lumia 630 Dual

2015-11-10 / / 0 Comments
I decided since the Windows 10 update was rolling in “waves” that I want to try Windows 10 early on my Nokia Lumia. I installed Windows Insider on the phone and choose the fast ring.

As soon I did so there was a Lumia Cyan update installed. And after the usual steps I began to install the insider build 166 (was out on July 13th 2015)

I left it installing because the download took a long time, after it finally downloaded and installed many things stopped working! I was given some error codes but doing some research did me nothing! (CV: irVVS0fyS0ifo9wW

    Office was gone!

    OneNote stopped working!

    All the updates that were pending stopped working as well.

    There were some nice improvements. I can’t deny! The already great typing experience has become even easier with the added cursor and several UI improvements that made it consistent with the desktop version.

    I had to install the 512 build that came out on the 12th/08/2015.

    After a while the 512 build finished installing. It looks good so far. Office is broken down to three apps: Word preview, Excel preview and Powerpoint preview. (Which needed to be purchased then installed from the store).
    The store worked fine after the upgrade, and the errors aren’t displayed anymore!

    The phone became slower and hotter. So a reset was due. It worked better. But the office applications requires an office 365 license to work. And Onenote became so hard to manage! (I needed to scroll so much to get to anything).
    The phone lags a little bit and Cortana became less responsive. So I decided to rollback to 8.1
    As confirmed by Microsoft upgrade adviser, Windows 10 won’t be available for Lumia 630 / 630 Dual. So this is the only way to get Windows 10 on your Lumia phone.
