Nothing wrong with handcoding HTML. Also I have this blog configured to accept Textile lightweight markup. But the point of using a desktop client is that you reduce the risk of losing a post in a web-posting accident.

I tend to write longer posts in a text editor and copy-and-past, of course, but it would be nice to just hit a key combination and have the editor post it automatically.

I begin to see your problem 8’).

A doesn’t take long to type. But then again, I was
always a hand-on kind of guy .

Hope all is well!

@Fiona: I never understood why vinyl came in so many different thicknesses. I mean, getting thinner over time to keep costs down, as technology improved, I can see. But some quite late-period ones were thick, too.

We have nobody to blame but ourselves. To the best of my knowledge, Forrest Ackerman came up with the “Sci-Fi” monicker and it was happily adopted by fans who thought it sounded terribly catchy and oh-so-frickin-clever cause it paralleled “Hi-Fi”. The eedjits actually thought it sounded neat-o cool-to-the-max-times-ten(!), redolent of the cutting-edge gosh-wow techno-novelty of… stereo sound. Of course, to everyone else (including many SF writers) it sounded horrifyingly naff. I mean, there’s nothing less hip than the sort of label that the tragically unhip come up with for themselves in the attempt to sound hip. So, take the excruciating tweeness of the term, and factor in uncritical loyalty on the part of fans who lapped up schlocky B-movies, crappy TV series, any old tat with a bit of gee-whizzery in it really—it’s no wonder that label picked up its negative connotations.
