looks fresh. Will be keeping an eye on the test site.

...the new platform is MT 4 running on a clustered server grid. So wicked

And the zorknap is a blistoidal gigaropt on the thadmucious clinzer.

The design on dev.aqoul.com is just a standard skin. I would be doing a lot of custom work. I expect to start that sometime this weekend, once I've finished calibrating the blistoidal gigaropt.

Anyway to set up off-line authoring so I can line up odd obs while puttering about between meetings, etc?

I have always loved the look of this site.

And Coll: get an iPhone, and tap away and upload from that. Your street cred will improve if not your typing accuracy.

I recommend Google Docs for any sort of puttering/notetaking. Better than putting an entry in the system and forgetting about it.

For off-line editing, might I recommend you invest in one of them fancy "Word Processor" thingies? I understand they're pretty widely available now.

Thank you very much cretins, but I bloody well know about Google fucking docs and fucking work processors.

If that were of interest to me, I would bloody well not fucking waste time. But perhaps unlike my colleagues, I have some investments to make, and I find myself offline for periods of time (esp. as I am unwilling to use the evil crackberry for Aqoul purposes).

So, please, spare me idiotic obvious waste of time fucking suggestions that bloody first year uni students could think up..

What I am interested in is off line, fully HTMLed up authoring tools, as the most time consuming item I face is putting in Aqoul format.

No, not terribly time consuming, but if a choice between high value work and whanking off, well you know the result.

My desire is to have ready to upload Aqoul or Lounsbury post that I can do offline without having to type the fucking links and the like.

So again spare me the fucking obvious you goddamned chmpanzees, and give me so real fucking inputs or tell me "Fuck off you spoiled git." I don't mind the latter but I bloody well hate the "having tried the fucking obvious" as you goddamned should known yes.

Offline. I didn't understand what you meant by that. I thought you meant not connected to the editing system.

It seems I can no longer comprehend being unconnected to the internet in some fashion.

In any case...I can't think of anything that might do what you're asking in the short-term. What I generally do when in forests or remote areas is peck something out in Notepad and put my links in square brackets [http://aqoul.com] next to the appropriate text. Final formatting happens when I paste it into the system.

First, sorry about that, was under stress, but that's not a brilliant excuse. A bit uncharacteristically ashamed of meself. Or chagrined. Sorry amigas y amigos, let stuff get to me.

Second, offline I mean yeah, no connexion.

Livejournal (a horrible thing as you know) had some kind of little open source prog. that would allow one to do up a post, a sort of dummy WYSWIG HTML editor / posting device. One could write the whole post (I think w auto links to save typing damned

Obviously I know how to do mark up, but given new time requirements, I would love for us to hack an open source tool like the LiveJournal poster and provide this for core authors, as it would save me significant time. I can use Word, or equivs, but given I spend now unhealthy amounts of time in the air in shitty regional airlines....

I'd pay for this, by the way, but an offline posting tool would be really brilliant.

the Chagrined Lounsbury.

I found references to what I was thinking off:
