Post From MacJournal

So I’m thinking that I used this program a while back but I can’t remember, I think it was freeware then though. Anyway, I’m posting this from MacJournal as a test. I’m including links and a few other things to see what happens. This program now costs money which I’m not ok with(there are VERY few programs in my mind that are actually feature filled enough and useful enough to jusity payment for(CSSEdit & Textmate are about it..). So we shall see if this meets my requirements, if so, it may be used regularly but somehow I doubt it. I just don’t think that the ability to publish to my blog using an external client is really worth the $34.95. Now that is not to say that this isn’t an amazing application, I just don’t really need a journal(I have text files for that! lol!) so we shall see. HERE WE GO!

GTD? GTD? I know nothing of this. I've been reading 43 Folders on an off for a while now but I never really got the GTD stuff, never read on it much. I've recently started reading a bit on it. I don't want to use this system full blown mainly b/c I don't think I can really keep up with it. I am however trying to start. I bought a couple of moleskines from Barnes & Noble and I'm trying to start a simple system using a method that I saw on pigpod. I really haven't started much but I have to say, I LOVE THESE NOTEBOOKS. I bought a standard pocket size one and a large size. I did not buy the cahier version b/c I'm not sure how muhc of a beating it can take but these are awesome! I've been using the pocket for my system and just using the other for my general rambling and I love the paper, the leather, the whole works, this thing is awesome. Now if I could only find an external client to use to post to this blog. Oh well, give till Sept and I'm gonna put this whole blog into my own home-made php system on my radford site and just make my own external client!

Ruby on rails is so amazing. I have dealt with this language on and off now for about 6 months. It caught my attention early on but I just couldn't bring myself to TRULY learn it. Now thats not to say that I have truly learned it @ this point but I'm definitely getting there. I've finally completed an entire tutorial and have a decent home grown site that is actually useful to me. I'm going to start working on a bartending site soon. I started on in php a while back but after reading up on ruby on rails I have no reason not to use it. For anyone who needs to learn a web programming language I HIGHLY recommend it.

Jaiku, for those of us who missed the twitter phenomenon is a service that basically allows very short blog posts, not really a blog post but a "what I'm doing right now" kind of update. Whats nice about it is that if you have a blog, delicious acct, flickr, etc, you can integrate all that into your jaiku feed and everyone can watch EVERYTHING YOU DO. Kinda sad that we want to do but I'll all up for it! Now if there were only an external mac client...I'm just not a big fan of logging into a web app to do stuff, don't know why though...anyway, sign up @ then add me!!

Blogger apparently does not support the same type of posting that every other blogging software in the world supports therefore I can't use an external client(such as textmate), to add my posts. I'm going to try this and if I can actually make (semi)-regular posts for a month I'll setup a wordpress blog to use. My goal is one post every other day. Here's today!!
