nomaded's little corner

A need to speak

I have this strange yearning to start blogging again.

The past few days, I've found myself looking for different ways post entries that do not require a browser, or anything particularly GUI-based. I found a few different ideas to use perl to talk to WordPress via XML-RPC. I think the easiest way to use this would be to read in a marked up text file and post based on the mark up - much like how Blosxom works. But instead of saving the text file a certain directory, I would read in the file and then toss it. I could probably write something smarter, but I think this would be a good starting point for me.

Another idea that I'm tossing around my head is to try to get the weblogger mode to work on the box that is hosting this blog. That way I'll have a secure way to post by connecting to the box with ssh then running emacs to do my writing. Call me weird, but I like writing text in a text console.
