Now I know what you are saying: How the hell can FTP affect my workflow so dramatically? Well as a web developer, quite a few ways actually. Under the Windows regime, I would have to rely on Dreamweaver‘s built in FTP, Filezilla, and FireFTP, the Firefox plugin for all those quick and dirty jobs. You see I would be developing in Dreamweaver and suddenly get a call about a logo update and need to quickly pull something off a site or replace a file. FireFTP was ideal for these scenarios. Filezilla could have been a good alternative if it wasn’t for the constant need to update on launch. I had to keep it around in order to manually edit the .htaccess files FireFTP still can’t see. Dreamweaver’s FTP is great for checking files in as you work on them, hit ctrl-shift-u to save and upload and then alt-tab to check your files in a browser. It’s a little but of finger gymnastics but at least you can keep your hands on the keyboard.
This is my new 15 inch MacBook Pro with an i5 chipset, 256Mb NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M discreet graphics chip, 1/2Tb 7200RPM drive, 4Gb of Ram and the new high resolution (1680×1050) anti-glare led back lit display model number: MacBookPro6,2. For the record I’m upgrading from this: The Big Ranting Canuck, Nearly Live from the Wendyhouse Studios of Valois Bay… This week we announce our new sponsors: Audible and we talk about some great customer service from Pentax, some pretty appalling follow tactics by Tweetphoto, the eminent I5 chipped MacBooks Pros and the Steve Jobs recent flurry of emails.

I have been using the MacBook Pro and only the MacBook Pro for all of my work and personal stuff for about 3 weeks now. Sure I’ve had my fair share of annoyances in adjusting my workflows and my bad habits like hitting end and expecting it go to the end of the line instead of the of the end of the document. I’m still unlearning CTRL-C,X,V,Z and re-learning ⌘-X ⌘-c ⌘-V & ⌘-Z. Even in programs like Office and Dreamweaver which I had forever associated with the Windows side of my brain. But funny enough their are quite a few things that have pleasantly surprised me and have really improved my workflow. Like FTP…
claurin : @JohnnyCanuck The Hymus will be added to the tour schedule.
JohnnyCanuck : @claurin lol Sure but we can't leave the Hymus off of the community centre tour. Maybe we can even get @scorbett22 to sit on a bouclier
schultzter : I just had to "break up a fight" between my daughter's two feet - she insists it was not her fault but they're keeping her awake!
