Byron White Federal Courthouse, Denver.

… To the (now closed) Colorado National Bank, downtown Denver. Cool building.

D&F Tower, Denver.

Byron White US Courthouse, downtown Denver. I’ve always love this building – now I get to catch the LTR beside it every day.

Nice to be back.

I’m much closer to a window, and so can see the state of the wearther a bit better. Heck, I even get some brief sunlight around 6:10 or so …

Lookin’ for trouble.

This is a test.

This is a block paragraph test.

This is still a test.

So … things it has, and things it doesn’t have (vs Ecto).

1. It has a distinctly better WYSIWYG editor.
2. There are plug-ins for template/text insertion — but not for HTML tags.  So I can pull over a lot of the “HTML Tag” stuff I have in ecto — but not the stuff that actually wraps code (I can still do it, but a bit more clumsily).
3. The image uploader is nice.  It doesn’t let me customize the IMG tags (so I can’t use my photo/drop shadow) — but it does have some nifty features, as in … well, the bordered drop shadow above.  Question #1 – is it actually uploading a modified graphic?  Question #2 – will it display okay in IE and FF?
4. I can make tables!

1. Starting the number over … there’s also a nice word count plug-in.  And another for media playing.

The biggest problem to date:  it is, in fact, posting, but timing out before it thinks it’s done.  Which means that it comes back with an error, never builds a list of successful posts, etc.  Irksome.  Need to review.

Also, though I can define multiple categories, it’s not clear how I can define a primary category.

Looking at my “requirements”:

1. XMLRPC:  yes
2. Supports multiple blogs:  yes
3. Spell check:  yes
4. Autosave: yes
5. HTML blocks:  yes, but not open/close tags.
6. WYSIWYG edit:  yes
7. Img upload:  yes, but can’t set CSS around img
8. Edit old entries:  I think so, but haven’t figured it out yet.
9. Cost:  free

So … looking pretty good so far.

Still sprinkling. Glad I keep an umbrella at the office.

“Is he coming to plant us?”
“I think he’ll never come.”

The wine cellar is (gads!) nearly full. What to do, what to do …?

NYPL Rose Reading Room. It’s like the Platonic Ideal of Librariness.

At the Bryant Park Grill, behind the Library.

Yow!

It’s electrical!

At the New York Public Library.

My God, it’s real!

In the eerie depths of Costco.

Some day I will travel thru O’Hare without having to dash through the Twilight Zone Tunnel between B and C – but not today.
