Blogging with Blogo

This post, and also the previous one, have been published using Blogo, an application for mac that helps you to post entries to one or various blogs, easily, even with images.
Its description in iusethis gave me curiosity and decided to test it. To download the demo one must register, and the demo works for 17 days.
For which I go using, I have to admit that is a quite useful program, for whom have various blogs that are dedicated to different things, or that are different because admits Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad and Movable Type.
In Preferences, in Accounts, all the blogs can be added to handle. And then in the Blogo window (Create/Edit) at the side of the entry title, a cascade menu appears that says in which of the various blogs you will be publishing. It also lets you use HTML "snippets" or "widgets" as the embedded Youtube videos or embedded Flickr photos and other sites.
I think this is one of the nicest apps I have tested these days. I love my mac.

iWeb again....

Yesterday I was using iWeb, to bring up to date the family site. And playing around to publish the blog entries in Facebook, I found me with the surprise that the file rss.xml, also brings failures of publication. I'm referring to the same errors of linking that presented the RSS link of the blog's homepage. It appears always a "ghost folder" that refers to the folder in which the site is published inside the mac. But, at least me, when publishing to the web through FTP, I do not upload the folder where iWeb publishes it, but I upload the files directly to root directory ( / ). This is why that problem always appears to me and I always have to erase (in Textwrangler) that "ghost folder". That means I have to do the same thing with the files rss.xml that are the ones that serve to the feeders and news readers.
Surpassed that matter, all works perfectly in the site, although thinking about it, I believe I am going to have to upload the whole folder to avoid the juggling of erasing the funny "ghost folder".

My Mac and my Sony Ericsson

I have a Sony Ericsson W200i. It's black with the orange edges. It's one of those phones that can have it all (agenda, calendar, radio fm, mp3 reader, internet, play, camera for photo and video). But it only has synchronization software for PC with Windows. When I realized this it was a little late, but anyway. Seeking on the internet, I found some programs that say to function with telephones mobiles in Mac.
For example, FoneLink of Novamedia that can also do backups of sms messages. But does not work with my telephone. It works from W300i to W910i, and other models. And also works for some Motorola and some Nokia. If you do not see your phone in the list they have, you can ask them to include it using the Phone Inspector they provide for download. And it's already compatible with Leopard.
Or also the Plugins for Sony Ericsson of Feisar, that do that they function with iSync that already comes with the Mac. But here we have another problem, and the fact is that the update 10.4.10 of the OS X has broken with the ability of iSync to detect telephones connected by USB. So if you still want to use the plugin, you would have to do the first USB synchronization in version 10.4.9 and only later do the upgrade. The site does not say anything 10.4.11 neither Leopard. Seems that Bluetooth works fine, but my telephone does not have that. UPDATE 11/Jan/2008: Feisar Site has released the plugin also for Leopard and USB synchronization is now working.
There's also this tuner for the "walkman" to work with iTunes, called iTuneMyWalkman 0.941. Still unavailable for Leopard. It only works to be able to synchronize the music, to do it as easy as between the Mac and the iPod.
UPDATE 28/Feb/2008: My dearest brother show me an app called Dreamsicle that let you synchronize or manage your Sony Ericsson Walkman with iTunes and iPhoto and also has video support. There is a demo download and costs $11,95 (€ 8).
And there's also PhoneAgent 1.4.3. Functions only with Sony Ericsson phones, and well, not with all of them. My W200i is not neither in the list of the phones that "perhaps" works although without official backup. But it is prepared for Leopard.
Except by iTuneMyWalkman (that is open source) all the other are payments. They are not very expensive.

Finally, I tried to connect the telephone from Windows to the Mac but for some reason, it did not work. After almost half an hour I gave up and I left Windows to return to Tiger, and oh, wonder! the phone was recognized as a USB drive. As simple as that. So using Finder I passed some music from the computer to the phone and some photos from the phone to the computer. It's what i have, but makes me happy.
