Trying out a new posting tool.
OK, so posting via the web interface is nice and all, but sometimes I just want to fire off a quick thought with the minimum of effort. Firing up Firefox on these occasions is too much like hard work so I thought I’d look for something slimmer. At the moment, I’m posting via a nice
