Offline Blog Editors
Had no internet yesterday. And this is not the first “no-internet” days after I changed my ISP. Incidentally, I changed the ISP because of “no-internet” weeks. Anyways, this no-internet day seems to do me some good. I was really wondering how people on the move with laptops and mobiles for internet manage to blog, if they do that is. There had to be some offline editors such that you can publish when you have a connection..
I was not alone and there are people who have thought on these lines. Some links I found are here and here.
And with google I found these tools.
Each has its own set of goods and bads. Just trying out drivel, bleezer and scribefire. Qumana is for Mac and Windows, neither of which I use now! Should see what I end up with. Wondering if it is any good to try and write my own offline blog editor, for the heck of it ?!

Ciao Netscape
It is not as though I feel strongly about netscape being brought down, but it certainly is a bad feeling. Netscape was the only browser I was using when I had my first PC. Internet explorer was already shipping as part of Windows at that time. It was about 1996-1997 when I got my first PC and about 98-99 when I got the first dial-up connection. I was running Windows 98 at that time. I distinctly remember using Netscape 4.7 communicator and the mail client to receive Yahoo mail. I remember y! was allowing pop access those times.
I faithfully followed netscape to 6.2, and then to some 7 or 8. Until a couple of months back I was using Netscape 9 on linux. Although, 9 is more or less firfox 2.0, I felt good about netscape for no apparent reason. Anyway, now it is flock on linux and firefox on windows. No, there are no reasons for the choice.
Anyways, ciao netscape.
