OK, this is getting ridiculous! I can blog from the browser but that’s a PITA. I can blog from my blackberry for simple text stuff. I really want a good tool for the majority of my writing.
In my “thunderbird” attempt, I was trying to include a picture. Here goes again …
Beyond the basics, this [...]

So, I’ve got a bit crazy with some of the Lotusphere notions and my blog. I just implemented a tag cloud. I actually think it may prove interesting from a research POV. I will be curious …

will I keep it up to date ?
will it expose trends in my blogging content that I was not [...]

The purpose of this post is to try out the latest beta of Microsoft’s “Windows Live Writer”. I’ve been very happy blogging with beta1 of WLW. At the same time, I will admit to a couple small annoyances and one big one

I finally got around to upgrading this blog to the latest WordPress. the straw the broke the camel’s back - so to speak - was that Windows Live Writer now supports more XMLRPC interfaces included creating categories (in addition to just selecting from existing ones). There are also more complete interactions thru the XMLRPC interface.

I finally finished (relative term) setting up my older T40 Thinkpad with Ubuntu Linux. The basic install was quite easy. It took about 15 minutes to create the CD image, boot and install Ubuntu. It took another 45 minutes as it automatically checked for all updates (119 of them) and installed them on one pass. [...]

Well, I said the one thing I really needed on my Linux PC before I could call it my “daily driver” was a blogging client. I’m now trying out “Flock“. I hope I get thu this without too much angst but you can be the judge.
Flock is actually a lot more than a blogging client. [...]

The title is nearly a complete rip-off of a number of posts I read in my vain attempt to find a useable blogging client for Ubuntu. I tried three native solutions and three “Windows under Wine” solutions. All of the windows solutions crashed and none of the Linux solutions could do one of the most [...]

I really want to use WLW for my blogging client. Unfortunately, the open source VM solution (QEMU) is not cut out for the task. It either ran really slow or it crashed (or both). All of which left me less than happy. However, the solution was sound and only the implementation was flaky.
Fortunately, I [...]

I have settled on using Ubuntu as my primary operating system on both my personal laptop and my work machine(s). There were two three four driving forces behind the change.
First, I needed a non-Windows solution for my parents. Windows is just too susceptible to viruses, malware00% , spyware, adware, and Internet gunk. A Mac was [...]

I’ve written a few times about my transition to Ubuntu Linux for both my work and personal computers. In that time, I have also commented (as have others) on the lack of a good blogging client. For those that agree with me, it it interesting that many of us have gravitated to Microsoft’s “Windows Live [...]
