Few quick notes (BlogCFC, TV, and a Textmate query)

I just released an update to BlogCFC. This fixes a few small bugs, but one is pretty critical. On blogs with multiple authors, if a user edits another user's blog entry (to fix a typo for example), than that user will become the author of the blog. Thanks to Sean Corfield for finding that one.

Speaking of blogs with multiple authors, don't forget that myself, Scott Stroz, and Scott Pinkston are blogging over at Geek The Tube. That's my main place to blog about TV/movie stuff, and with the fall season starting up (I still don't know what to think about the Urinal Terminator) the activity is picking up again.

Lastly, a TextMate question. I notice when I use Textmate to edit files on another machine on my network (I believe both Mac and PC), it leaves behind a file of the same name with an underscore in front of it. Anyone know what this is? It may not just be TextMate, but that's my primary editor outside of Eclipse.

Giancarlo Gomez's Gravatar Ray,

I believe the files with the underscore before are resource fork files. If you are working on your mac and saving on to a PC these files will display if you are showing hidden files. If this is what is happening a good tool to use on your mac is BlueHarvest. You can set it up to delete all resource forks on any type of file or on mounted disks, etc. The website for this product is http://zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest/, it installs in the system preferences.

Raymond Camden's Gravatar @EB - Both those options are turned off.

@GG - But I get it when editing a file on a networked Mac as well.

Raymond Camden's Gravatar @GG - Although, it looks like those happen when you save to _any_ networked machine. I'll look at BlueHarvest. Thanks.

Jeff Coughlin's Gravatar @GG - Wow, BlueHarvest is awesome. I've used many scripts to remove many of these files before, but nothing as simple and clean as this. Plus this is the first program I've been able to find that can remove DS_Store from the bootable drive (not just network drives). Thanks!
