Living Without Microsoft

LWM is a great site, one that offers a different angle on the MS debate. Rather than being rabidly pro-Mac or Linux, it instead aims to offer sensible alternatives for those people who would rather not use MS software. Solutions…

Coincidence

Today, I have been doing some work on a side blogging project that I have been thinking about for a while. I’d got the remit of the blog sorted, a name, decided (as usual) on WordPress and on the K2…

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…

Clear your desk(top)

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.

Lee Hopkins, antipodean blogger extraordinaire and contributor to Shel and Neville‘s For Immediate Release podcast, and I have been bantering on various posts about the lack of an offline blog editor that, well, does what we want it to. This…

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…
