What impressed me most was the "Be Careful, it's addictive." line. That is a fact, Jack!!!

Quicknote is intelligently compiled, with less emphasis on how it looks than how it works. There is a short learning curve easily surmounted by watching the videos available. Once I learned it and customized it, it has already become second nature for me to use it in creating this blog entry.
Take the time to find out all it does, because it is a modest interface with a powerful right click menu. The good news is the interface is easily modified to fit your taste. The green background and gray border have quickly been changed to dark blue with white print and a translucent border. I missed the blue background white print of the original DOS editors.
Five Stars in all reviews.

The good news is it has been identified. The very good news for our fellow Scots is that it is a fermentation device used to make beer. Though it hasn't been claimed by the Colorado brewing company, the BBC News reports it is very similar to the type they used.
When I first saw the article, I was convinced it was of some sort of military creature right out of Dr. Who or its anagram spin-off Torchwood, where alien articles mysteriously appear on the British Isles, mostly around Cardiff. But the more mundane use for brewing beer; now that's something I never would've guessed.
Well, ye inhabitants of the Western Isles, Hogmanay!

Along in the piece it says 11 Prime Ministers have served under her. The first being Sir Winston Churchill KG OM CH TD FRS PC (Can). It also goes on to say, nice bit of trivia this, she is the first monarch to have a PM that was born during her reign.
This living history so far has been fascinating. She wasn't yet Queen when I was born.

Here in balmy New England, I sit around thirty miles from Foxborough Stadium. I know there is a brand name attached to it, but we, being New Englanders, will always call it by its real name.
This goes for the Gimmell house in which we live. The Gimmells haven't lived here since the 1950's but when we tell people here-abouts where we live, "Oh, the Gimmell house." is aways the response.
On a dry Sunday, with no game in the forecast, it would take me less than 20 minutes to drive up Rte. 1 past the Stadium. Today, if I left right now, I might make it there by breakfast tomorrow. It the last Instant Snowstorm of a few days ago, I left Worcester at 1 in the afternoon and saw my front door around dinner time. My knuckles are still white from that driving. I don't intend to make them whiter today.
Our greatest fear at the moment is ice on the cable and power wires. News reports have a large portion of Pennsylvania without power. It would also shut down the heat, but we have fireplaces for back up. Power failure would mean we would have to rely on out Blackberries for the score. Or, there is that thing called a radio... I think we have one in the basement. Where are those batteries?
As far as the weather, three hours before the game, the foot or so of snow on our balcony is now being nicely coated with sleet. We understand there may even be a touch of freezing rain to add to the layering effect. Then, as it gets dark, more snow.
What fun!!!

We were able to get Zoundry to configure the editor to work with the Open Source version of Movable Type with no problem. It wasn't working before because of the layered password mystery that is now solved.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about w::bloggar. There we encountered one error after another. It is sad, because w::bloggar was the first offline editor that we used.
Oh well. Now it's back to watching the rain glaze the snow dumped on us last night. It's a good thing, weather commuting wise, this is a Sunday. We're watching the Pats game from home. (Assuming the wires don't come down with the weight of the ice building up.)
This will be the last editor to be configured to work with Movable Grazing. Now that they are set up, this will become a regular blog in search of a theme. Evolution will now apply rather that configuration.

For now we have to setup and design this blog to make it our own.
If you are going to set up a MovableType blog on GoDaddy.com read today's entry at Belltowernews.com to find out why "localhost" doesn't cut it during the set up.
