Performancing is the blog tool I’ve been looking for
I’ve been playing with Performancing for Firefox, and am loving every moment of it. Its got a sensible blog editor, built right into Firefox. Supports multiple blogs from what I can tell, all your categories are downloaded, so it does multiple categories (unlike Drivel, BloGTK, and the whole other slew of blog apps on Linux), allows you to gracefully edit old blog entries via the History tab (something even ecto sometimes finds hard to muster), and you save all posts as Notes, so its offline editing just like ecto (and not like BloGTK where you open up file, by file). It also supports Technorati tags within the interface, so thats always nifty.
On to the useless. It has some Metric system, but it requires signing up at their site and further editing my blog. If only they integrated it with the Google tool offerings or FeedBurner. Then there’s the del.icio.us poster, which seems rather odd - why would you want to del.ici.us bookmark a blog post you made? Then I remember, that the Performancing motto is “Helping Bloggers Succeed”.
Did I mention, its free? Give it a twirl, its good stuff. I should be appropriately removing all the other tools I’ve tried to use… Now to find a feed reader that’s as good as NetNewsWire (and no, Liferea doesn’t cut it).
And in life, I’ve not watched a lot of movies recently… Managed to merely catch Mistress of Spice (its got Miss India in it?), and felt that the storyline didn’t make much sense… Also caught Casino Royale on the plane, and I still think Pierce Brosnan was a better James Bond. Anyways, Christmas 2006 brought on some nice gifts - 37″ LCD in PJ, and a 42″ LCD in Klang. Life’s never really the same again when you watch flat screen television. Plus it has PC input, and when I drove the display, it was amazing. Boy am I going to miss those TVs… Probably the next time I’m in KL, I’ll be looking into MythTV a lot more.
