Logging the Ubuntu Experience
Ok a bit about me, I have been using linux for around 4 years, not really sure when I turned into a full-time linux but I know that it started with fedora core, and in time I switched over to Ubuntu. I Obtained my ubuntu membership in 2006 and really haven’t looked back.
My goal now is to log my linux experience, the thing I have always loved about linux is how quickly I can get things done. For example this blog, I will most likely (If I even keep it going) do many of these posts on the subway, so what I needed was a way for me to compose wordpress blog entries off line. (I chose wordpress because I want to be able to tag my blogs so that readers can subscribe to only the posts they are interested in since I will most likely post everything from my linux work, to my schooling, and job here.) So I fired up synaptic and searched for wordpress. Synaptic returns the following results.
drivel - Blogging client for the GNOME desktop
gnome-blog -GNOME applet to post to weblog entries
wordpress - an award winning weblog manager
I quickly installed drivel and gnome-blog after running them both I decided while gnome blog was better neither are the solution for me since they do not let me
1. Save my posts – I am likely to be starting a post then turning off my computer then turning it back on so I would like to be able to save my posts.
2. Post using tags – As I said I would like to be able to make posts with tags as to let readers only subscribe what is interesting to them.
After realizing that I quickly searched around for note taking programs and settled on tomboy tomboy should let me take all the notes I need and then manually publish them later, its not the ideal but maybe I can find a plug-in that will let me post via tomboy who knows.
