Code Editors Posted at: Sun, Nov 22nd, 2009 | 7:23PM UTC By Josh Ashby

Quick update:
I’ve decided to start up development on my PyTe code editor. So far I’ve managed to get a new version made with PyQt4. This version includes tabbed editing, and a basic tabbed web browser.
As a result, I’d like to know what everyone liked in a code editor, feel free to let me know in the comments!

It’s been a while since I’ve had a big software challenge as most of my time of energy have been focused on BOB. Because of this, I’ve decided to make a CMS using Perl.

I decided to use Perl because it’s become the second best thing in the world, pulling in right behind Python, and because Irecently got this new web server (thanks to the parents and birthdays), I have a public place to show off my Perl.

Welcome to joshashby.com.

Most will notice this site, and my old site at josh.byethost16.com look and function the same, the only difference being that this site has Perl and Python, among other things on it, which my old site does not.

To take a look at the Perl, I uploaded BOB’s website. It features a CMS that I wrote  my self (which you can find the source for in my bedroom-server github repo) with visual effects powered by MooTools, the javascript framework that softdrink on #sparkfun was kind enough to show me. You can find the site here: http://bob.joshashby.com. Hope the transition to this new server continues to go smoothly!
