Back from camping

Kelley and I are back from camping. We found a couple of issues with the motorhome I need to work on. All I have to do for the rest of the day is to unload the motorhome.

Gone for the weekend

Kelley and I are going camping for the weekend. We may not have service where we will be. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

blogger project

I have been looking at the sample code and am getting my mind wrapped around how to organize the app and how to do the individual processes and to work with the gdata blogger api. It looks like I SHOULD be able to do everything through the existing api. I will be working on the project this coming week. The first step will be to get it to display a list of my blogs. Initially this will be for personal use only as my username and password will be hard coded. After I get the basics working, I will figure out how to store settings so that others can use the software.

Interesting details about the gdata api

I was using wget to study the gdata blogger api and noticed that it was sending the blog entries that have html were being sent with the code formatted with strings starting with & and ending with ;. This could be useful working on a blogger client.

blogger software progress

I have been looking at the source code for A-Blogger. So far I have not found what is stopping it from posting html. I have found that the back end code is already in place for catagories and comments. I am not sure what it would take to implement them. I will continue to look into their code as well as look into my work project.

Getting ready for the camping season

I spent the day getting our motorhome, an American Clipper, ready for the season. I set up a bypass for the water heater that is leaking, repaired the original battery box for the coach battery, replaced both coach batteries, and moved a bunch of gear from the other motorhome we are going to sell. I might take it out tomorrow for an overnight trip. That depends on the weather, since where I want to go is about 8 - 10 miles of dirt road.
