Just for kicks, I'm trying out Zoundary Blog Writer and w.bloggar to post, edit, and repost this, um, post. Both software packages seem relatively easy to use, but their best feature is the ability to edit past posts. Very cool. I'm leaning towards w.bloggar right now. I think the interface is a little cleaner and the formatting options more readily available.

EncFS for Ubuntu
It just took me two (late) nights to get EncFS working with Ubuntu. It wasn't the package's fault. I'm still getting used to Ubuntu. It turns out I just need to apt-get libfuse-dev and openssl-dev and a few other simple things before compiling EncFS from source. I know. It sounds easy enough.
The worst part is that I don't even need encrypted filesystems. I don't exacly have any national secrets to keep. I just have a disorder compelling me to compile, install, and configure software.

Ubuntu Rocks!
So I just installed Ubuntu Linux on my old PC, and I am totally blown away. In the past six years, this PC has run Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Storm Linux, Rock, VectorLinux, and (most recently) Debian. (I think I may have missed one or two. Oh, and I didn't count live distros like DemoLinux and Knoppix.) I thought I had finally settled on Debian about a year ago, but then Ubuntu upped the ante. Ubuntu has all of the latest software I want (Python 2.4.1, Firefox 1.02+, etc.), and the whole thing just looks slick. All of the benefits of Debian (apt-get, Synaptic), but none of the drawbacks, i.e. OLD packages.
