It's all spinning wheels and self-doubt until the first pot of coffee.

Bookmark blogging from Safari via a quick hack

Well, it doesn't look like I'm getting the new Java-based PersonalWebProxy code released last week or soon this week, but if you'd like something to poke fun at, try this...

BookmarkBlogger - a quick hack for Safari users to generate blog entries from bookmark folders.

Hope it's useful, bet it's ugly, but it was fun in the making.

    Heya. Running into stumbling blocks or just getting distracted?

    Mostly just distraction and at-work/at-home business. That, and the urge to fix just that "one last thing" before I let anyone have it. But I think by this weekend, I'll make the mess available, no matter what shape it's in.

    I'm slow and stupid. Suppose that I'm running Mac OSX, want to start up a blosxom installation on my office machine at http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi (with blosxom text files in what the office machine sees as: /Library/Webserver/Documents/blosxom). I then remotely mount the office machine's hard disk on my own laptop (at, I think, "/Volumes/Office Hard Disk".) I then want to use Bookmark blogging from Safari to put stuff from my bookmarks into the blosxom remote directory. What, exactly, are the path arguments that go with java -jar BookmarkBlogger.jar ?

    I think this is what you'd need: java -jar BookmarkBlogger.jar "BLOG BOOKMARKS" "/Users/{yourusername}" "/Volumes/Office Hard Disk/Library/Webserver/Documents/blosxom" Just make sure to fill in the "yourusername". Extra credit points to anyone to hacks this to use a proper config file :)

    Is it just mine, or did this break with the java update from apple this week? It worked when i first test, pre update. But after runing the update, it hasn't worked, but its not giving any errors or anything. I even deleted the seen file, so it should have picked up everything. But nothing happens. Any ideas?

    Scratch that, a reboot and its working like a charm.
