Blogging is a difficult task at times. Not only do you need a good topic or a catchy angle, you need to spell right and display cool graphics. When I was on LJ many moons ago, I used Xjournal as a help. It was good to be able to start drafts of posts even when not being able to be online and so on. Since switching to Wordpress and my own domain I´ve only used the the online editor and even though good, it does have a few limitations.
With ecto perhaps some of my typos will be more easily detected.
It´s fun days over at Dave at blogography and his Blogiversary 5. I´m impressed about the amount of work he puts into his blog and the generosity he gives out to his avid fans.
The Tindersticks are playing tomorrow at Debaser and I think I will go there and listen to them. Seems like I have to go alone because no one either wants or can go with me tomorrow *sobs*
I´m kind of stoked about The Gutter Twins but then again I´ve always been a fan of Mark Lanegan.

I´m all wound up over my new lens, the EF 50mm f/1.2L USM. Everything looks good!
My favorite Japanese restaurant is surprisingly located in the middle of northern nowhere, Sweden. Unfortunately it burned down to the ground about a year ago. It´s being rebuilt in Östersund which is alittle more somewhere of northern Sweden. Östersund is actually a pretty nice town. It will reopen this winter.
I saw Lou Reed perform Berlin [...]
Kevin wanted to know. Styled by brisk walk to lunch in pouring rain.
I agree that an offline blogging tool can be handy for when you need to jot something down. As for the typos, do you use Firefox as your browser of choice? The only reason I ask is that it has built in spell checking.
April 28th, 2008 at 12:06 amI use ecto, but prefer Mars Edit for offline blogging. Unfortunately, Mars Edit can’t work for some of the things I need to do, so I keep going back to ecto. Supposedly a new version is going to be released, but I’ve heard that for two years now, so I don’t know if it will ever happen.

Dave. What are you missing in Mars Edit?
April 28th, 2008 at 4:21 amHej där! Kul att se dina kommentarer - jag planerar ju ringa och boka in en lunch med dig… vilken dag som helst nu. *himlar mej*
Har du testat Ecto nu? Är det bra? För mig hänger sig editorn på WP rätt ofta - särskilt när jag ska ladda upp bild. Rätt irriterande - men jag tänkte att jag kunde ha nån editor som backup. Stavning och sånt tjafs bekymrar inte mig - jag skriver ju på mitt eget språk, det är nästan fusk…! *s*
Ärligt talat - allt som folk sa skulle vara så himla enkelt med mac - funkar inte för mig. Saker som skulle ploppa upp av sig själv ploppar inte upp, saker som borde kännas av automagiskt känns inte av osv. Jag HADE kunnat köpa mig en schysst pece istället, faktiskt. Och sparat några tusingar. Fast - då kanske jag hade fått nya viruset de pratar om, vem vet. Man ska inte gräma sig - jag gillar min El Maco, även om jag får göra allting manuellt på det lata helvetet…! ;o)
May 14th, 2008 at 6:13 pmJenny. Jag har använt ecto litegrann, det verkar bra som komplement tycker jag. Enkelt och smidigt. Har du din blog på eget webbhotell? I så fall är det väl bäst att skicka upp bilder via ett ftp-program.
Jag tror att du behöver komma in i Mac-världen lite mer. Har fått L att vara Macare och det har klagats litegrann men efter ett tag visar det sig vara bättre. Tar ett tag att vänja sig vid nya kortkommandon och så.
