FireFox Blog Editor Performancing

After last night rearranging my blog I wondered if a Firefox Blog Editor exists. I found Performancing and this blog entry is made with this tool. It looks cool, but does not have all the build in gimmicks, features and options of non-browser based tools as Ecto, Qumana, RocketPost, w.bloggar, but looks nice, easy, fast and handy.
I have downloaded:

• Ecto. I can not find an Blog-HTML-Code viewer, exit Ecto.
• Qumana. It currently does not hold the history of the published blog, exit Qumana.
• w.bloggar, View of Blog-HTML-Code and WYSIWYG, but no editing in WYSIWYG, exit w.bloggar

But the also the Firefox plugin Performancing has ennoying parts: It adds a lot of duplicate code when editing an existing blog.

My Conclusion:
I am still using the standard Blogger interface!

Daco's Blog

The Guinness Book of World Records is created to give certainty in case of disagreement in pubs about World Records. Since then the most peculiar actions are taken to get registered. Some guys think those records are important.
Records are only important in respect to the viewer. I like sports records. I don't like stupid records as 'watching movies' without eating or drinking.

Old (and Wise)

In the end we are all getting old and wise, we hope. A colleague asked 'What is the drive to write a blog? Can you tell me?'
No, I can't! I am writing a blog for sharing ideas and thoughts with other people. By writing I force myself to explain to another what my thoughts are.
Some will use a diary, other a blog.

Information

What is the best way to maintain information? Well that depends. If you want to share information and make it easy editable by anyone a wiki is the best. If you want to parse news a static html-page and rss-feeds are the best.

Wiki
The first Wiki, Portland Pattern Repository, has been made by Ward Cunningham on March 25, 1995. Although the Wiki idea is great is has also an important disadvantage: Vandalism and Spam Attacks. Vandalism can be stopped by using registration procedures to limit write access.
Also a Wiki will only work if the people want to participate. To some people a the Wiki self forms a barrier. To ohers it is just to much work. Or is it we don't want to share our knowledge?
I am currently trying Atlassian Confluence, an application combining Wiki, News and RSS. The first impressions are quite nice, but I have not opened it for anonymous use.

Sabbatical

Lately everybody takes a sabbatical holiday. Why? Is the western society so heartless? Does business and capitalism reasons rule the western social order? Do we need to go to developing countries to calibrate our own social feelings?
I will follow the journey of Daco with interest.
