Text Mode Love
It's strange. Computing power is cheap, I love to work on photos, I work with 3D rendering and computer graphics and I do research on computer vision. Yet, the interface that I love to work on most is still the text based interface.
A few days ago, I crawled out of my cave and found that Google has a wonderful command line data tool called googlecl that allows you to access Blogger, Calendar, Docs, and many other Google services from the command line! I promptly downloaded it, only to discover (a pleasant surprise) that it's in the macports port list! (It's also in Ubuntu's apt repository). So everything is just an 'apt-get install googlecl' or a 'port install googlecl' away:)
Together with markdown, now I can make my posts from the command line as well
:)
And here's the first post from the command line, and perhaps future posts as
well :) But, I'll still have to figure out the best way to embed images from
flickr :s
