  • bucket for 2008-05-14
    • Thinking about writing a proper long-form blog entry about our having bought a house in Michigan.

      • Kind of the reverse of my post, Go West, Young Man!, from almost 2 years ago.
    • Thank you, Akismet:

      • "Akismet has protected your site from 419,402 spam comments already"
    • I'm hoping to make this the Summer of Skein.

      • Not to be confused with the Summer of George.

    • Someday, I'm going to explain what this bucket is about. Prerequisite to that is figuring out what it's about. A few quick notions, though:

      • For me, at least, perceptible interface + laziness threshold = weblog silence

      • Dave Winer's OPML Editor has been the only tool in recent memory to keep me publishing thoughts for any respectable stretch.

      • My favorite word processor, once upon a time, was WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS.

        • I always did love "Reveal Codes"

        • No me gusta mucho el WYSIWYG.

    • I keep thinking I want a Psion PDA. They seem to have nice workable keyboards. I miss my 8086 palmtop with Microsoft Works and a sunlight-viewable greyscale screen.

      • This ties into my persistent Golden Age vision of writing at a picnic table in the sun, which I haven't done since college. That palmtop was my enabler then.
    • Something else I want to do things with:

      • Google App Engine
    • Comments were working in Firefox. Just checked in Safari and found things broken there. Can't be bothered to try MSIE yet.

    • To emphasize the notional units here, I've tried especially styling first-level bullets. I can't remember if MSIE is happy with this particular CSS selector yet. If not, tough.

    • Tagging per bullet or line in this thing would be interesting at some point, too.

      • I'd like to be able to search for and possibly re-aggregate bullets by tag.
