Reviewing Qumana Blog Manager – So far, so good…

27 October 2009

Qumana is the latest in a bunch of desktop blogging applications I’m testing, all in an effort to see if there’s one out there in Internet land that’ll be my magic bullet, working flawlessly with all the features I need. Qumana 3.2.3, updated 1 May 2009 Installation was a breeze. The first hiccup happened when [...]

Post revisions in WordPress

27 August 2009

With the duplicate entries I was seeing in Zoundry Raven, I started to wonder if it might be something with WordPress itself, so I started searching. And I found a few forum threads about this. Like this one and this one. And the overwhelming WordPress party line as expressed in the forum threads was "but [...]

Report a bug, get… a sales pitch for paid support?

26 August 2009

I recently updated Twitter Tools to its latest release, version 2.0, and it stopped working properly. Used to be that, when I posted a new blog entry, Twitter Tools would post the title of that blog entry along with a URL to my Twitter feed. Now, it posts the title of that blog entry, but [...]

Taking Raven out for a test drive

It’s official – I’m looking for a desktop blogging application, and Raven is next in line for me to test out. Will it work or not? Zoundry Raven Beta 1.0.375, built on 08/05/08 (no idea if that’s May 8 2008 or 5 August 2008). System requirements: not easily found if they’re listed. I still haven’t [...]

Taking BlogJet for a test drive

20 August 2009

I use a desktop blogging platform for writing my blog entries. It’s something I’ve always done, and was, in fact, the whole reason I found Fahim in the first place. I started with Fahim’s Blog, but lately, it hasn’t been serving my needs quite as well. Fahim’s switched over to a Mac, so doesn’t do [...]

Twitter, Twittering, and Tweets

12 November 2008

I’m twittering now. Have been for a while. It’s kinda fun and interesting. Twittering, for those who don’t know, is basically microblogging. 140 characters of whatever you want to say about whatever. It can be random thoughts or events that are too small to make a blog post about. Sprats, marinated in red chilli pepper [...]

Search Phrases That Lead People to My Site

23 October 2008

Reviewing the search phrases that get people to land here, I see that most of them are, well, mostly sane. And normal. And expected even. Like these ones: peregrinas Plotcraft software plautdeutsch top fiction novel 100 must-read science fiction novels best fiction novels love haiku laurie ashton must read fantasy novels top 100 fiction 100 [...]
