BloGTK (publish entry)
In order for BloGTK to actually publish your entry, you MUST check the “Publish Entry” box before clicking the Post Entry button. I think I’m going to suggest a Publish Entry button and a Post Entry button.
Also, the Category dropdown doesn’t get published when talking with Roller.

Trying out another blogging editor, this one called BloGTK.
Should get car back on Thursday
Well, the Trans Am should be fixed tomorrow. We’ll see.
Trans Am almost fixed
Well, it has been three weeks since I put my Trans Am in the shop. And the oil cooler was busted which took an entire week to get that part (the last one needed to finish the repairs). We’re looking at getting it either this afternoon or tomorrow. I’m not holding my breath though. I’m betting Friday.
Off to lunch.
Chrisitans issue gay warning on SpongeBob video
Recently as reported by CNN.com a conservative Christian group accuses maker of video … promoting homosexuality. Read more…
This is getting out of hand. Who the hell are we as humans to judge others? I believe that it is God who will judge us and our actions. Personally these groups are being complete hypocrits.
.7 of an inch of snow CRIPPLES Raleigh, NC
We had a dusting of snow which turned to ice and caused massive gridlock. I left work at 3pm and arrived at home at 11:50pm. I spent 3 hours at my old company visiting stranded friends.
It was a horrible evening. Time for some needed rest and relaxation.
Over a month still no Trans Am
The Bird has been in the shop since 12/24/04. As of today, still no word on whether it is ready or not. ARGH!
mod_jk 1.2.6 and tomcat 5.0.28 don't like each other
I’m having a hell of a time getting mod_jk 1.2.6 to work with tomcat 5.0.28. mod_jk dies a miserable death on every POST to the website.
