How about a picture attachment

If I recall correctly attachments won't work.

Test a post with a smiley

Putting in a smiley here to test this: <Cool>

Testing blogging from Thunderbird

I know that I can email into my blog, but I would like to test the formatting. My default settings for emails are blue comic sans.

Finally got Palm TX to synch in Ubuntu

Well after several attempts, a couple of hours in the forums and several different apps, I finally got my Palm TX to synch in Ubuntu. The trick was the settings need to /dev/pilot even though this is only a link that gets created once the palm is connected. (Some rule makes it change the serial ttyUSB0/1 change over.) So you have to click the hotsynch on Palm TX then the hotsynch action in jpilot. The Gnome-Pilot applet however seemed to work without this particular order issue.

Test using Gnome's blogger applet

Just a quick test.

I am trying out several of the Linux bloggi ng tools. The first I looked at B! GTK looked nice and functional but was unable to login correctly. The same was true with the Drivel Journal editor as it gave error messages of unable to connect. The third, Gnome-blog, resulted in this post. While it functioned as designed, I do not like the interface for switching blogging accounts and further more it was limited in the posting ability and only gave text options, no image or html (at least no immediate editing tools to support it).

Tab Effect :: Firefox Add-ons

A nice eye-candy effect for firefox to give it that 3D look, although I found that it didn't work well on either version 1.5 of firefox or on linux (needs windows only Direct X).

Tab Effect :: Firefox Add-ons

While I tried locating some info on running a Direct X equivalent in Linux (ie Cedega) I haven't ventured into this realm yet...
