Guilty. I wrote another blogging engine. This one's command-line based
and only for those willing to get HTML on their shirt. Writing a post looks
like this:
- bin/new "This is the post's title"
- Write the post in the file it gives you
- bin/preview path/to/the/post
- Check it out in your favorite browser
- bin/publish path/to/the/post
I rolled my own because I rather like the command line and rather dislike
being h4x0red. It has a script to import a Wordpress blog, so you can
come and play, too. The source is on GitHub.
Go ahead and make fun of me for spending my free time on this. I hope
it'll make me write more (I hated Wordpress' WYSIWYG editor, even in HTML
mode).

I really did make a mistake a few weeks ago, losing my old Wordpress blog,
the theme, and all of the non-Wordpress extras I had in that directory tree.
More fuel for the argument that upgrading Wordpress is too hard. I thought
I was smart enough to do it. I was wrong. So I took that as motivation to
build the command-line blog I’ve always wanted. Then I went on
vacation. As you can see, it's finished now. More soon on the code.
I kept a text file open during my flights to and from Kentucky. On the
plane I was reading The World Is Flat and it surprisingly tempered
very few of the thoughts I liked enough to write down. (Afterthoughts
in bold.)
The things that suck about being an adult are the same ones that suck
about being a kid: dishes, laundry and paying for things. The rest is just
details.
My del.icio.us network is better for me than Digg/Reddit/whatever because
I trust the sources. I don’t like everyone being little CmdrTacos.
I’m the Commander and I pick my Generals carefully. (After
reading Del.icio.us vs. Friendfeed.)
Neverminding your opinion of Chris Matthews and his Hardball
show, it’s depressing that the airport cuts away from the last 20
minutes in favor of an Olympic human-interest segment on using chopsticks in
Beijing.
I also spent some time thinking about my upcoming move. Moving within
the city and with over a year’s experience living here have
significantly changed my criteria. Most importantly, Katherine will be
moving out, too. Beyond the need for a bigger apartment, here are some
of my current considerations:
- Opportunity to grill.
- A deck or yard or something to go with the grilling.
- Dishwasher.
- A proper sink in the kitchen instead of the miniature joke of one
I have now. This is perhaps less important with the addition of a
dishwasher.
- More windows! I miss my 7-window bedroom from senior year of
college.
- A grocery store within walking distance. (I’ve grown quite
fond of Real Foods being 3 blocks from my house.)
Lesser concerns that didn't make the cut:
- A garage.
- Non-coin-operated laundry.
- Higher-speed Internet access (LAN, plz).
Anything I’m missing?
