Coincidence

Back to the drawing board

Since Lee (who is rapidly losing my respect) has pooh-poohed my earlier attempt at a logo for B.O.L.L.O.C.K.S., and even Amsterdam-resident Neville thought it a little on the risque-side, I have attempted another one. I thought this might suitably reflect…

AJ’s blog features a nice piece on keeping your desktop free. It’s Windows specific, but the principles could be applied to any OS, I guess. I am with him on this one. The idea of having icons on the desktop…

A load of B.O.L.L.O.C.K.S.

How I Blog

The discussion about offline blog editors only covers a certain amount of the different ways one can blog. For example, one could: Use a blog’s inbuilt editor Use an offline editor Use a browser extension Sending posts in via email Post…

More Plug-In Fun…

I have installed a couple of extra WordPress plug-ins – one seems to work nicely, the other, well, less so. First up is Comment Quicktags which adds little buttons above the comment form to help people out with formatting HTML…

Zoundry

Following all the recent discussion about offline blog editors, I thought I would give Zoundry a pop, following a recommendation that appeared in my comments from Dan Masters. It’s another free one, and I’m using version 1.0.18 to write this…
