TclText - ticklish text editing by tony

Before I started using real hosting, with ssh access and vim on the server end, I managed my sites by writing them at home and uploading over ftp. Now, while this could be done with sftp or scp and vim, for the longest time, and sometimes now still, I will manage such tasks with TclText, my gro0vy, ticklish text editor, in tcl/tk, with a built-in ftp tool, and many other features.

Here you see me editing http://www.baldwinlinguas.com with TclText

Color Chooser

http://tonybaldwin.me/hax/doku.php?id=colorchooser

If you make websites, like I do, and you edit them in a real editor (i.e. vim), especially on a remote server over ssh, and not some atrociously convoluted, graphical "wysiwyg" monstrosity for writing web pages that creates bloated, nasty code, well, sometimes you need a hexcode for a color for your css style sheets, and stuff. What do you do?

For this purpose, I made ColorChooser, which is just a little gui tool for grabbing color codes.

Now, most of the work was really already done, tk having a color chooser tool, already. All I did was write a script to make it easy to call that tool up so you could find a color, then copy/paste the hex code to wherever you need it.

eXp0stulate

I've decided to take the code from TclTherapy (insanejournal client), and TkLJ (livejournal client), and join them together, adding functionality for DreamWidth and deadjournal, as well.
I have successfully merged the code, and X-posted to three of the above mentioned blogging services (I don't have a deadjournal).



I'll be calling this new bit of hackery
"eXp0stulate",
since it x-posts.
I'd like to add wordpress and blogger funcationality (especially since THIS blog is on blogger), but I believe that will require my learning to get this thing to write out an xml file and play nice with the xml-rpc protocol, rather than just sending a flat entry via http post.
Not sure...either way, it's just a matter of time.

I also want to get it to download and edit older posts.
I have a full TODO list on the eXpostulate wiki page.
