Test post from my iPhone. I figure if this is slick enough, I might blog more… Guess we’ll find out…

It may take me a while to convert my setup back to the old days of TextMate blogging. I’ve primarily been blogging for TUAW, which uses a blogging system with very poor XMLRPC support. The end result of this, for me, was the development of an elaborate TextMate bundle which emulated the ease-of-use that TextMate provides to bloggers on WordPress (and other platforms). I have, I guess, forgotten how to do this. So this post is going to begin as a test, to be continued with some ideas, some tools, and some discoveries I’ve made in my time away from the glory of TextMate blogging…

The original Readability bookmarklet by Arc90 is here.

So my modification of the Readability bookmarklet kind of snuck out before it was ready, but it’s my own fault. Now I’m scrambling a little to make it more presentable and less of a straight-up hack of the excellent original. I wanted to make a few things clear about my goals and purpose on this one.

First the entire project was really a subset of my attempt at a better Evernote clipper for Snow Leopard. One which allowed me to preserve code formatting and automatically remove comments and ads from the post, in a smarter fashion than the current Safari clipper does…
