python Reading the highlights of Python 2.3 (still in alpha) makes me want to hack python in earnest for a while.
I'm still having fun with Radio, though. |
new features I'm busily working on new features for MailEdit,
like an improved directives parser, and a way to bulk upload images to
your blog.The parser is being improved by removing the "all directives must be at the beginning of the message" requirement. I've always planned on getting rid of that requirement, but I also wanted to ship a working product first.
For instance, if I upload an image called 'brakes.jpg',
MailEdit will create three shortcuts: brakes, brakes.left, and
brakes.right. The first will just embed the picture in the middle of
the post. the other two, brakes.left and brakes.right will insert the
pictures so that they go to the left or right, respectively, of the
page. I'm using the shortcuts right now for the pictures in this
post.
Once I've shipped these features, I can only think of one or two other
features I'd want to add. I'm going to have to rely on my customers to
help me firgure out what the long term direction of this tool is,
although I'm more than happy to leave it along if everyone is satisfied
with where it's at. |
The second feature, the bulk upload feature, solves a
problem I've been wanting to solve for a while. What it will do is take
a message with attachments, save all the attachments, and then create a
bunch of Radio shortcuts to make it easy to use the images in a post.
