Deadly Bloody Serious


Zoundry Test

Posted in Geek by garth on the August 11th, 2006

Now I’m trying out Zoundry, which to my great surprise is written in Python with the wxPython framework — just like Juice. Some nice things:

  • Unlike Ecto, the editor keeps up with my typing just fine and I can edit existing posts.

  • Unlike either Ecto or Performancing, hitting Enter gives me a new paragraph represented in the output as a p tag. Nice!

Not so good:

  • Publishing an edit just failed with a Publish Error:

    Error posting entry - XmlRpc post request failed: RpcPublisherError['Error posting edited entry [postid: 2004, blogid: 1].’ type:General Error, code:0 msg:junk after document element: line 11, column 0]

    Re-trying worked fine. Weird.

  • Alt-P brings up the Post dialog, but the Post button isn’t selected. If I’m updating a post, I probably don’t want to change all the keywords; being able to Alt-P twice or Alt-P Enter would be lovely.

Y’know, I could get to like this one.

  • I can type faster than Ecto can display my typing.
  • Editing existing non-Ecto posts doesn’t appear possible.
  • The typing alone is driving me nutty.
