I'm still alive! Really I am!

I know it's be a really really long time since I posted anything. But I am still alive, really I am. I'm just not the most timely blogger.

I think that if I had started off with a different blog format, a more Mac friendly blog format I'd have stuck to it more. Blogger doesn't play nice with Safari, and I'd rather not change browsers just for one page (not that Firefox isn't a nice browser. I just prefer Safari.)

I also find the Blogger web editor really annoying to use. It takes forever to do anything even on the fastest of computers. And well I'm not always the most patient of people, especially when it comes to technology.

I have the feeling that if Mobile Me and iWeb were around when I started my blog I'd have blogged more often. But they weren't and I really don't want to move, lest I lose the few readers I have. That and Blogger is really easy for other apps and sites to access.

I love cloud computing. But I love it more when I have nice desktop apps to access the cloud. Mobile Me syncs with my Mail, Address Book, iCal & iPhoto. My notes live in Evernote (I *heart* Evernote. It's like my brain is stored on a web server somewhere!) If I am to use something often it has to live on my dock or it's not gonna happen! I'm just to disorganized to function any other way!

So I am trying a new desktop client for blogging. It's called Flock and it's more like what would happen if a web browser mated with a feed reader. It's yet another Mozilla based web browser, billing itself as a "social web browser". You can keep track of a variety of web based apps like Facebook, Twitter, G-mail and the like (not that I use 90% of the apps it keeps track of, but it's nice to have options.)

It's still a web browser, and that kinda annoys me. I still want to do my browsing in Safari but I think this will be a good way to keep web apps and what I am currently reading on the web seperate. I'll mainly be using this program for blogging though so if it sucks at the it'll get the axe. (I am trying to keep the amount of apps on my mac to a minimum) So we'll wait and see.

I'm gonna try to post some stuff to bring the blog up to speed about where I have been for the last 9 months. So keep an eye out for that! :D
