When Linux Goes Bad…Or At Least Doesn’t Do What You Want It To Do
I’ve turned into an open source traitor due to the fact that I’m using a Windows product (Live Writer to be exact) to write this but since I have found it nearly impossible to find a Linux blogging tool that does what I want it to do I’ve had to unfortunately turn to the minions of Bill Gates and get me a bit of free software albeit on a Windows platform. At least I didn’t have to pay for it but considering how I wrote a rather gushing appraisal of Linux I do feel a bit of a hypocrite.
It’s one of the reasons why I decided to have a dual install on my computer (both Linux and Windows) because I was aware of the fact that doing everything I want to on Linux could prove to be a bit difficult especially since I’m not as cognisant with regards to the intricacies of Linux as I would like to be. I have to admit that long term usage of the click and install approach of Windows has made me rather lazy.
I primarily use Scribefire but that has limitations and especially with regards to the positioning of images within a blog entry. I have attempted to install the Sun weblog Openoffice plugin but having some difficulties with making it work and my laziness (and frustration) has made me abandon that particular endeavour.
Ideally, I would like there to be an ecto for Linux but that hasn’t happened yet and so I have to muddle on somehow and I suppose in the long run it ought to be the content of what I write that is important and not what I use to write the content with.
This site is all about the things that interest me which probably in and of itself isn't particularly interesting. Nonetheless, I hope that there is something you will find useful. The site is curently evolving and changing so please bear with me. Thank you.
How about just typing in the raw HTML code.
You wouldn’t have to know too much to be able to do most posts.
That is a rather sensible idea. But as I have mentioned several times I am rather lazy but I think that’s probably the best solution. I did learn quite a lot of HTML code but due to not being used I have forgotten most of it. Time to re-learn.
