Since moving to MacOSX and Ubuntu, I’m missing the very useful BlogDesk offline blogging program.
BlogDesk development seems to have slowed or stopped but it has enough features to satisfy. I especially loved the ability to insert and resize the image directly in the program. The image is then automatically uploaded together with the post. Simple and effective. For those that are (still) on Windows (which I know many of you are), do yourself a favor and try it.
ScribeFire has been around for sometime and I had tried it in various stages with disappointment. Unfortunately it seems to be the only offline blogging tool available that is availabe for both Mac and Ubuntu.
Mac has a few paid tools with Ubuntu seems to have a total lack of offline blogging client that is still being actively developed. Let me know if you know of any recommendation, preferrable opensource or free, works on Mac and Ubuntu.
In the meantime, I’m going to give ScribeFire a go to see if it has gotten any better.

Storing everything, especially email in the cloud had been all the buzz lately.
Since moving to GMail I have not use a email client again. Going back to email client like ThunderBird seems like a step backward. No more worry about migrating email archive when changing computer, reinstalling system. No more backing up and copies of backup of different clients lying around. Whether working at home, office or cafes, it is just a single logon.
Well then the last step to complete the cloud migration is to move the outstanding archives backup dating almost a decade ago into the cloud. And I did it last weekend.
Here are some notes for those intenting to move existing Pegasus Mail or ThunderBird email archive into GMail.
