Great news for WordPress fans – WordPress 1.5.1 has been released. Please, everyone who has problems with posts, published by BlogJet, not showing on the main page, update to this version.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to congratulate everybody with the Victory of people against fascism. On May 9, 1945 the World became a better place to live. Today is the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. Let's remember this day.

Google moved their blog to Blogspot (Blogger’s hosting):

To make the Google Blog a bit easier to manage behind the scenes, we're now publishing it to its new home at Blogspot: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/

Now, Google, don’t you want a few copies of BlogJet to replace that “a bit easier to manage” with “super-mega-easier to manage”?

There’s something odd happening with TypePad today — their API instead of categories listing gives the following error:

<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”UTF-8”?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xmlns:soapenc=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/” xmlns:xsd=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema” soap:encodingStyle=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/” xmlns:soap=”http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”><soap:Body> <soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Can't find root element in the message at /usr/local/prod/cpan-lib/SOAP/Lite.pm line 2431.
</faultstring></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

Please be patient while I contact their developers.

Update: TypePad fixed this issue. Thanks to Adriaan from ecto.

I’m a bit late, but, hey Dave, happy birthday to ya!

Some other tools in my space

I wrote a few days ago about my PKM System, where I focused on email and file management, and I discussed some of the flow of my work. There are some other tools in my suite that help me with the flow of my work: anagram, BlogJet, Movable Type, MindManager, Outclass, AddEmailAddress, Firefox, AdAware, SmartList to Go, Flickr, Skype and emacs. Details below the fold. […More]
