Or Save As Draft

Of course, the fact that you can do pretty much the same thing with an email program, or blogging program (save your spill sheet as a message draft), kinda took the wind from my sails!

Spillsheet

Some time ago I created a heuristic form for expository writing to be used with Firefox and its Scribe extension (the Scribe extension lets you save as an html file any text you type into a form).

Recently I simplified this form to use as a browser-based "spill sheet," that is, a place to store information temporarily before pasting it elsewhere (such as in a blog entry or a word processor).

Here's a screenshot of the simplified form:

I scoured the Web to find a photo of Dave Winer and Adam Curry sitting together at Gnomedex 5.

These pioneers of podcasting had a falling out over plans for a business partnership. It is good to see this talented pair on speaking terms.

Nvu

I am excited about Nvu. Nvu (pronounced N-view, for a "new view") is an HTML editor based on the late Mozilla Composer. Backed by Linspire, it looks as good as gold. Here's the list of features.

Blogger Hosts Images

Today Blogger announced that it will host images. So, if you've got a Blogger blog hosted at blogspot, you don't have to put your pics on another server.

Perhaps this move to host images is Google's way of competing with Flickr. Google owns Blogger. Yahoo! owns Flickr.
