So tiny has answered my ‘two posts in a day’ challenge with three posts in a day, has he? And he claims that I won’t be able to bang out four today?
He’s probably right. Crap. Even if I do manage to squeeze out four today, that just means I’ll have to put out six on [...]

I eventually decided that ecto wasn’t worth spending money on, but damn if I don’t miss it. I’m trying out Qumana which seems… crappy. It seems to be coded in Java, and Java apps in OS X have this… look to them that I don’t like. They also don’t particularly function well. I probably won’t [...]

So far I like that you can add and remove categories from the editor (another thing Deepest Sender doesn’t do). Let’s see how [...]

There are two important things to know about me:

I am lazy

So, I want to be able to blog easily, but have whatever I’m using not cost anything. I’ve been using Deepest Sender, as I’ve mentioned a few times, but I think I may actually be outgrowing it. For one, now that I added [...]

I’ve considered using Google Reader for my blog reading, but ditched it because (at last check) you couldn’t order entries oldest first. I figure that there may be updates and so on, so I want to read things in the order they were posted.
The only thing I didn’t like about Bloglines is that when I [...]
