I started this blog as a more useful alternative to services like delicious, googlemarks and so on. It’s meant as a cuttings file for future reference with the functions of a blog. In some respects it works quite well.

But organising the material is quite cumbersome. I’m still using Omea, which has the very useful feature of saving any given feed item as an html file. I could organise my Omea clippings, then post them in category-shaped chunks. But that turns out to be quite cumbersome too. What I’ve got instead is a massive
feed dump that doesn’t bear reading.

So there’s a bit of a problem. Feed dumps are the laziest way of archiving the stuff. They are straight copies, as distinct from a simple link with a bit of my own explanation. I can’t use Omea to do further refinement, and editing in plain text or WYSIWYG editors is also out of the question. So I’ve hit on this method of uploading an html file and linking to it. That way it’s at least a bit more discreet, while still being straightforward.
