Just updated to WP 1.5.2. Smooth and easy.

Now I have to get some feasible anti-spam mechanism.. this is getting really annoying. Just in case some texan-poker-dumbfsck or his assfaced associates from similar fscking companies missed it, I say it again: Fuck you!. Yeah, I know, bots..

There’s other things I want to do, too. Removing the monthly archives from the front-page, adding some about/contact page and maybe look for another design template or get behind it and customize the default one to some extend. If I can get my lazy ass up..

Just found WordPressDash, and you guess right, a Dashboard Widget especially for WordPress. Including category support. Not as comfortable as ecto but still, very usable and very simple. Maybe more suited for blogging quickies..

*update*
Turns out that category support doesn’t seem to work properly.. what’s up with WP and cats?

No matter which category I set within ecto, the entry is always also posted under category #1. A solution can be found at the ecto forum and requires editing WP’s xmlrpc.php. Now let’s see if this works..

*update*
.. it does.

This is my 1st post using my freshly registered copy of ecto. Well, this morning ecto reminded me that the trial time passed. I took a quick look around if there’s an alternative that would fit my needs, none found.. and here we go. Actually, this is the 1st application I bought for a long time. Using GNU/Linux and having access to all the GPL’d software-candy, there’s not necessarily a need for commercial software.

Thinking about it, the last year there has been Half-Life 2 and Cedega and of course, Tiger two weeks ago (which was heavily apple-sponsored anyway).

Trivia: Lot’s of backlinks to my own blog. That’s poor, isn’t it?

with DashBlog. Unfortunately no support for categories or other fancy stuff, but otherwise it seems to work fine.. and now let’s edit the cat in the browser.. drrrr.
