Now blogging at diego's weblog. See you over there!

clevercactus WYSIWYG HTML editing

I've been using the new clevercactus build (internal build, that is) to post weblog entries and edit them using the new WYSIWYG editor. The difference is amazing. Editing raw HTML can be a real pain, and it's easy to make mistakes. It also becomes much easier to comment on RSS feed entries. Still some problems to work out (Java's EditorKit package is really powerful, but incredibly confusing and hard to use, and with few examples for HTML editing) but it's already reasonably functional.

a visit

My parents are visiting this week. Dad arrived yesterday and mom arrives tonight... This means that my at-times-strange working schedule and not-much-need-for-sleep pays off :-). I can be with them during the day and work at night (okay, late at night). They've never been to Dublin before, so it should be fun!

easyjournal

EasyJournal, another weblog tool, with a seemingly mysterious "viral" feature, which seems to be the relations between you (the weblog publisher) and your friends. As far as I can see, it's to what LiveJournal does with its "friends" feature, albeit done in a silghtly different way...
