I’m currently testing a number of blogging clients. Clients that free you from the web browser for post writing and editing. This is a post written in and posted via Zoundry Raven. Among the many blogging clients available, I’ve selected three for closer inspection: the aforementioned Raven, BlogDesk and Scribefire. The last one is an [...]

In the spirit of cleaning up some of my older projects, I’ve completely overhauled my little Amazon store and added an entirely new category. I know this sounds like a commercial message and yes, I will earn a small commission if you order anything, but the store is something I take seriously. I only offer [...]

I’ve recently switched to MailChimp for email delivery of the new posts. MailChimp describes itself as an email marketing tool. What sets MailChimp apart from similar tools, is the many many options for configuring campaigns, email lists and reports. All of this in a very user-friendly interface. Instead of FeedBurner’s very sparse mails, subscribers to [...]

In a bit of continuity, I actually installed Ocropus and tried it out. Turns out, this really is beta software. There were a few too many loose nuts and bolts and I ended up going for a double headed VueScan and Evernote approach. Ocropus itself takes bitmaps as input and does not do the actual [...]

The paperless office seems like the nirvana of any minimalist. The total lack of paper on my desk and the ability to use file drawers for more interesting stuff, has appealed to me for a long time.

Now that my new office is starting to come together, I have begun research into ways of storing all my files in a central location on the network. This has several advantages: they can be used from every device that is connected to my home network and I only have to backup one device. What [...]

I see and adore many hobby webloggers and entrepreneurs on the Internet. People like Robert at Flight 404, who create the most amazing things. Following them and their stories, like Nathan at Coderspiel, you’re tempted to believe that this is what they do. This is how they live. But sometimes that spell is broken and [...]

One thing that has been bothering me with social services is the difficulty of creating a backup. What would happen if Twitter suddenly dissapeared, or even worse, what would you do without your Delicious bookmarks? It has happened a few times before, services like Geocities and Stick-it were closed almost over night (I’m exagerating, but [...]

The pile of shame might be unknown to you, but it seems like more and more people write about theirs. It is a pile of stuff (usually computer games) that you bought, but never played for more then a few minutes. Lately my pile is getting to monstrous sizes. I have many top games lying [...]
