New aim for this blog

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

I've had a blog for what? 5? 6 years now? It's been a bunch of meandering of thoughts. Not very pointed, and not very consistant. After reading lifehacker.com's post about how to prepare for the downturn in the economy, Gina suggests setting up a nameplate website. This seems like the purpose I've been looking for, ...

Using Vimpress for posting

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

I think I'm gonna go with Vimpress for posting to this blog instead of Weblogger.el. Vimpress just feels easier to use, for me. I found weblogger.el to be a bit inconsistant in opening and editing previous posts, where Vimpress seems to work flawlessly. About the only thing that I miss is being able to ...

Updates to weblogger.el

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I've made a few changes to the latest weblogger.el from SVN. I've changed it so that it's more obvious that the "Subject" field would be the title, instead of using the first several words of the first line, or using <title></title> markup in the entry. I also exposed the "Keywords" field so that it's ...

Testing (again) weblogger mode

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

While trying to edit previous posts, it seems to be doing some strange things to the timestamp. Edit: Interesting. I originally added this post at 12:42am, and the post is currently showing a time of 01:42am. I wonder if the time should be in GMT/UTC as opposed to "local" time. I wonder if the timestamp will ...
