Now syncing with MacJournal

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

I had a major falling out with my previous blog client, ecto. It destroyed about 60 or more entries in my private journal, going back to 2003. (After some serious digging, I was able to restore most of them from backups, all but about 9 or so of the entries; I’m still working on it.)

So I was looking for a solution, and tried MacJournal, which I thankfully already owned a license for. So far it is working well. It is not really a blog client per se; it is intended as a journaling app, as the name suggests. But it can sync to a blog, so is serviceable in that way.

Flurry of Old Posts — Sorry!

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

If you are one of the few people subscribed to my personal website blog by email, you probably received a number of posts today.

Fortunately I detected the problem not too long after I started. Hopefully you will not receive any more after this!

WordPress 2.7 Released!

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Yay! If you have a WordPress blog, this is great news. I expect to upgrade shortly. Many of the feature enhancements are behind-the-scenes sorts of things, things that make my life easier. You can find update information here.

Eeeeps! Sorry, everyone!

I discovered a way to import all my old blog posts into WordPress. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me at the time, this had the tragic side effect of sending each and every one of those old posts to everyone on my email list. I am truly sorry about that! It’s one of those unhappy twists of fate that makes you want to go hide in a cave somewhere until people forget you ever had a blog!

Prior to getting my new email notifications up and running, I wrote a couple new posts. One is about the freeware Mac application JES Deinterlacer (of interest to those who work with video or video stills), and the other is a review of Enya’s album Amarantine.
