Managed to publish to .Mac with iBlog -- Comment()
I made a small test of publishing to .Mac with iBlog, trying out the same categories as here. Here is the result. If iBlog could handle publishing to the Radio Userland server, I would switch my weblog application. The user interface of iBlog is really nice. However, I would like to modify the appearance of the weblog so that it would be similar to this one. How hard this would be, I wonder.

iBlog from Apple? -- Comment()
John Robb writes: "Paolo has heard that Apple is giving away iBlog (from lifli Software) to people that renew their .Mac accounts. Backup Brain has heard this too. [...] Paolo's demo weblog looks like lifli has done a good job at integration with other .Mac tools. There is no doubt in my mind that people will like this tool much better than Apple's current Homepage tool." [John Robb's Weblog]

Linux for Poets: "Once upon a time Unix used to be for geeks only -- the platform of choice for godlike SysAdmins and obsessed hackers who muttered strange phrases and giggled over inside jokes, as they swigged gallon after gallon of Mountain Dew. [...] Then a strange thing happened: Unix started to get friendlier. [...] Finally, that bastion of the Hide the Moving Parts Club, Apple, broke all tradition and built a lovely and sophisticated operating system, Mac OS X, on top of a Unix platform. [...] Today's Unix: slicker, safer, smaller, better...but push aside the fancy graphics and built-in functionality and simple installation, and you're still going to be faced, at one time or another, with a simple command line and dire warnings about what not to do."
