My new blogging tool.

Well I’ve been working a little on a pyblosxom blogging tool for me to use while in KDE. I’ve named it Tacky, although it has no relation to clee‘s Tack blogger.

Click for a screenie.

It’s not real advanced or anything, and probably never will be. I just wanted to be able to quickly post blogs while in KDE, but with more features than tack.

Notes:

  • Hitting the Post button will quit the application if it succeeds.
  • You need to configure the program and give it the path to pyblosxom’s data directory first.
  • It has syntax highlighting using a hand-coded (read: sucks) munger to keep the footprint small.
  • Don’t ask about the logo, it’s supposed to be a pyblosxom flower with a push-pin or something.
  • The program uses kconfig_compiler, which means KDE 3.2 or above. It compiles while using unsermake, but using automake doesn’t generate the correct files for me for some reason. I think this may be the first time I’ve ever used a program that worked for unsermake and didn’t work for automake. Patches are accepted for that problem. ;-)

You can download it from my University of North Florida webspace.
