Ecto revisited…

Ecto

My previous post was commented by the Ecto developer himself… and as such, I thought it only be fair to immediately reevaluate the said software… plus of course I was excited as hell to try his suggestions out.

So now, I’m posting via Ecto, I’ve seen the edit mode he was talking about (I couldn’t imagine how I missed that). And upon posting this, I will try his other suggestion of selecting the category while publishing to specify the primary category.

If all goes well, then I guess that’s that… I will now be an official Ecto user. Read More

Why do I even bother…

For the most part of yesterday evening (yes, that’s a while ago). I’ve been trying to pinpoint some “suspicious” characters in the internet. I’m positive they’re reading this… so might as well give it out straight.

This site has it’s share of comments in my posts that usually try to “attack” me as a person. Or at least aren’t constructive at all. Which is perfectly fine. I mean what do I care if you don’t believe in the same things I do? To each his own.

I’m also willing to forego the useless posts in the Guestbook which do not contribute at all but instead try to troll on some issues.

Anyways, I already had an inkling since last year, but I never really concerned myself with it. Quite frankly, I’m still bewildered at why I’m actually acting on it (or have to act on it for that matter). Recently, some users at the other site I manage are reporting some rowdy “posts.”

When I say rowdy, I simply mean that their posts seem to be trolling – you can check here for its definition.

Anyways, since that site is supposed to be a decent site, and a site I’m supposed to be “managing,” I decided to have a look-see.

Camino – extending your search


I’ve been a Camino user ever since Joel introduced me to it.

As I’ve mentioned before, if you’re an Apple Firefox user, then Camino is perfect for you since it’s basically the Gecko engine (which is one of the major factors that made Firefox a popular choice) programmed using the Cocoa framework.

There really isn’t anything that sets it apart from Firefox, on the contrary I think Firefox still has more “features” when it comes to the extensions/plugins available to it. But if you chose Firefox because of its browsing capabilities, then Camino is said to be exactly like it… only faster – much faster!

Joel actually made some benchmarks of the different browsers, and the results speak for themselves. Read More
