Blog Posting was never this easy....

Since the day I begin to Blogging in Blogger, I have missed many thing that I should write in my blog, because of lack of time. It is hard to find some free time to log in to Blogger and write what I want.



So I look for a solution. The solution I need was a Blog editor that can write & edit my posts offline and once Im satisfied with my post, publish it directly to my blog.



I searched Internet for tool that make my blogging easy. And found many tools that help me in different ways.



But ScribeFire is the tool I was looking for..

It perfectly match my requirements. Not only that it is also a FireFox add-on. So what else I need..



Here are some cool features of ScribeFire.





ScribeFire (previously Performancing for Firefox)





According to their site..

Let the images describe them self..





Blog Posting was never this easy....





Rich text editing





Write offline & Save while you write (as a note)













Image uploading options







ScribeFire is not only for Blogger. It supports other blog systems too. Such as WordPress, MovableType, Drupal, Textpattern, Roller and Meta WebBlog API.

The only bottleneck for me was uploading my local images to the blog posts. Because I had to first upload my images to my image hosting server and then paste the URL. But then I found a new firefox add-on (also a ScribeFire add-on) that helps me with image uploading.





OakFlickr4PFF



A Flickr photo Uploader Addon for Performancing (1.3+) for Firefox. It will check the pictures in the publishing blog, upload the local ones to flickr and update the link to url of flickr.

Need I say something more??



You will only need a Flickr account, which can be easily create through www.flickr.com



You can get this add-on here









So.. Isn't it wroth to give some credits to them?

Google Utils

Google search and GMail are the most well known services provided by Google, but they provide many more services covering most of the areas of the web, that you don't even think of.
You can find them all here.

If you are a Firefox user, there is a add-on called GUtil! that can access all these Google account services faster in one place. You can get it here.





Expect more stunning features of Google products on my future posts...

Process Migration

'Process Migration': In the first hear it may not give any mean to most of you. But this was a Hot Topic for the research community for some decades back. In the simple mean, "Process Migration" is the act of transferring a Process between two machines during its execution. (As you know a Process is an Operating system abstraction, representing an instance of running computer program). But it is not simple as that. There are many problems and complexities associated with process migration. With the increasing deployment of distributed systems and distributed operating systems, process migration is again receiving more attention in both research and product development. As high-performance facilities shift from supercomputers to networks of workstations, and with the ever-increasing role of the World Wide Web, Process migration have to play a more important role and eventually to be widely adopted.

Migrating Process in a virtualized environment can solve some of these associated problems. "Process Migration in XEN Hypervisor" is the research topic for My degree at UCSC.
