Stuffr 0.7.6 will be released sometime tomorrow. It will include support for multiple categories and trackbacks.

(This post was made with Stuffr 0.7.6, posting in mutliple categories and pinging two other sites)

Stuffr, a desktop blogging client for Windows, has a streamlined design that works in conjuction with multiple weblog platforms.

With customizable toolbars, syntax highlighting, and smart prompts, Stuffr offers you all of the tools needed for speedy and convenient posting.

Stuffr allows you to save drafts or publish entries to your blog in real time, but it also offers the choice of saving the post locally for further review and editing.

Stuffr currently supports Movable Type and Wordpress blogs, but should work just fine with any platform using the metaWeblog or MovableType API’s.

Stuffr, with it’s intuitive design, does what a blogging client should, and it does it quickly and efficiently.

So when you have a lot on your mind, take your thoughts and Stuff ‘em!

I still use my Technorati Tagger application on a daily basis, and apparently, so do a few other people, as I have had a couple of requests for some changes. Normally, I would not pay attention to these requests when they are in reference to an application developed solely for my personal use.

But after looking at the requests again, I thought I would knock out a new version, and here it is.

Slobokan’s Technorati Tagger 1.1 allows you modify the caption that preceeds your tag list, as well as the positioning and the size of the tags inserted in your blog entry.

Because the TechnoTagger simply formats the code and copies it to the clipboard for you, it will work with any blogging platform or client.

You simply enter in your list of tags, such as:

this, is, a, tag, list

and the TechoTagger will format it for you:

<div align=”right”><
div style=”font-size: 10px;”>Technorati Tags:
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/this”>this</a>,
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/is”>is</a>,
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/a”>a</a>,
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/tag”>tag</a>,
<a href=”http://www.technorati.com/tag/list”>list</a>
</div></div>

and when you paste that code into your blog entry, it will appear as:

With the actual HTML code in your posts, you wont have to worry about migrating to another blogging platform either, because all of your tag entries will be in html format, not some other format other platforms might not recognize.

Note: No installation necessary. Just download, unzip, and run the executable.

On my blog, Slobokan’s Site O’ Schtuff I recently migrated from Wordpress to Drupal. While there are a couple of Wordpress plugins which make it easy to put technorati tags in your posts, I found that after migrating I was stuck with obscure code at the bottom of hundreds of posts.

When using Wordpress, the plugin made the tags appear as:

Technorati Tags: this, is, a, tag, list.

But after the migration I was stuck with:

<tags> this, is, a, tag, list </tags>

or some other variant thereof.

I haven’t had the time to write a script to remove those lines, or better yet, convert them to a better format, but I did have time to write Slobokan’s Technorati Tagger.

This simple application allows you to enter a comma delimited list and then generate the actual HTML code needed to insert in your post. The generated code is automatically copied to the clipboard for pasting into your blogging application, all you have to do is paste the code (Ctrl-V).

With the actual HTML code in your posts, you wont have to worry about migrating to another blogging platform, or if your existing plugin working with future versions of the one you are currently using.

Note: No installation necessary. Just download, unzip, and run the executable.

Inspired by the “Most Wanted Playing Cards” issued by United States Central Command for the troops in the ‘Battle of Iraq’ in the War on Terrorism.

Each card reveals the name and title of each of the 55 most wanted individuals. In our version we have replaced one of the factual cards (JOKER) with the Iraqi Minister of Information, and the other with a mystery guest, who will only appear in a specially designated poker hand.

We have also added some sound clips to make the game more entertaining.

For an authentic look and feel, Operation: Iraqi Poker utilizes the actual graphic images from Central Command.

Darwin’s Derby was originally written as Pony Express under Turbo Pascal for DOS.

While the old version was nothing but numbers moving across the screen, this version (which is still quite simple) gives you the choice of animals to bet on.

To play the game, just choose an animal to bet on, enter the amount and click begin. Very simple, very basic.

You can run as many races as you like. There is no high score list, and the game does not record previous sessions.
