If you’re tired of posting to your WordPress blog using the web front-end. Maybe you need this:
Looks like things are picking up… w.Bloggar now has version 4.00 RC2 released, and it looks like it’s working (so far).
There’s a More tab in the edit window (for Extended Entry, Keywords, Exerpt, and Trackback entries).
Let’s see if I can post too.
YOINK!
Lifted from GameSpot’s post (found via the Klipfolio add-on, Google NewsFeed (with “Electronic Arts” as the keyword).
Open Letter from the IGDA (International Game Developers Association).

Quality of Life White Paper, also from the IGDA.
Thing is, I’m not a developer, so this doesn’t apply to me, but I am in British Columbia, and a high-tech worker.
So, at a stagette a few months back, Arwen won herself one of these (the url looks much scarier than the actual item, which is made by Waterpik), but this thing looks like it should have an equivalent Klingon name, or it’s a sex toy for scorpions or something. It’s not, and the idea is that you can hold this thing, and it’ll apply pressure to your back when you’re holding it in front of you.
I don’t know why I’m talking abou- oh yeah.
Okay, so these guys are a little ticked (click here to see the whole thing)
F*ck the South. F*ck ’em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they’d stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves – yeah, those are states we want to keep.
And now what do we get? We’re the f*cking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?
Konfabulator is now available for Windows users.
In my great quest to make my Windows less user friendly, I’m the kinda guy that really enjoys messing up my system. I have often heard my co-workers comment with things like “What the hell are you running,” and “are you really running Os-X on your PC?”
I smile quietly to myself, and then curse and mutter my way through the registry trying to get rid of the dementation that I’ve unleashed on my poor poor computer.
Widgets away!

What up with that?
Okay, so maybe I’ve got to try something new today because… uh… I’m always installing new stuff. Oh well. Anyhoo, I’m playing with Zempt until wBloggar comes out with a version that directly supports WordPress (which should be the next version, according to their release candidate info). Let’s see if I can log into Arwen’s Blog with this tool.
Well, I was going to make this a comment to Hugh’s rant about comment Spam, but his comments are… clo-… oh, right.
JamesOff.net has a WordPress Anti-Spam RBL checker that he’s working on:
I have written a WordPress plugin which checks the IP of the poster and deletes their comment immediately when it is added if it is listed in an RBL (like spamcop or spamhaus).
Unfortunately WP still generates the email saying the comment was added, I’m not sure if I can stop that. An alternative might be to prevent users with RBLed IPs from being able to access the comments form, but if they still try to hit the wp-comments.php file directly I’m not sure if I can hook it that early
[edit]
Actually, our friend JamesOff has finished the first working version of this plugin for WordPress. Looks like it can be capped and added here
After some stuff I was doing over the weekend here (largely due to the DNS for my web site and email aploding for some reason), I found two really great tools. One of them is totally free, and gives you a full report of everything you ever wanted to know about your DNS setup if you’re running a domain.
Browsercam has a service that will browse/crawl your site, and take screenshots as it goes. They can do six browsers, three OSes, with Flash or withou, and they’ve now added Remote Access (you take over one of their machines and test your mouse-overs and stuff). It costs money (they’ve got a free demo period, and they’ve got this weird $10 for an hour and $39/mo) thing.
Archive.org is just plain nuts, for two reasons.
1) They’ve got tonnes and tonnes of shows and stuff (live shows), for free. No, really.
2) Almost everyone uses SHN (Shrink) format for lossless encoding.
Of… live… shows…
Lossless.
Crystal clear recordings of german guys going “Whoooooo!” through every song or something.
But hey, lots Doughty live sets in there.
