… seems that the main (or a higher) reason for Apple to release a Windows version of Safari is… income. And for that, the Google search box in to top right corner is the gateway for profit.
Windows still is the most used operating system out there, so why not take the ride ? Mozilla did […]

… i finally set up the page for the download of the vimblog.vim vim-ruby script. It will allow you to manage your blog posts from *the* editor VIM, very easilly. Learn one single command and, at maximum, seven simple parameters. So go ahead and blog with vim.

Blogging from VIM is now possible using this script. This post is being written using it. But one problem is making me loose a great ammount of time: dateCreated, meaning TMZ headache.
Wordpress XMLRPC wants a datetime timestamp for the dateCreated field. I give it an ISO8601 format as stated in XMLRPC specs.
The post is sent […]

… when coding switter, using lot’s of command line, vim, bash, i felt the need to blog from vim. Some readings (quite a few availlable, actually) later, i was testing Wordpress xmlrpc using MovableType (Six Apart) calls to it.

…now, switter was accepted on rubyforge.org. I’ll try to put source and some docs there (rdoc does wonders) soon. Meanwhile, and with threahds now working for continuous message post/get, it just needs some tickles on the readline method.

Had a new idea for the switter (twitter shell client) client.

require ‘rexml/document’
require ‘optparse’
require ‘yaml’
Configuration file created for user defs;
Command line switches prioritized over config. file;
Timeline options;
Working now on a minimal (shell) UI, message posting […]
