Comments on: Performancing 1.1 http://www.darcynorman.net/2006/01/30/performancing-1-1/ apparently much happier in person Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:03:04 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Omar Upegui R. http://www.darcynorman.net/2006/01/30/performancing-1-1/#comment-81161 Omar Upegui R. Wed, 31 Dec 1969 17:00:00 +0000 192016455#comment-81161 I downloaded Performancing version 1.1 early this morning, but haven't been able to "play" with it due to many outstanding chores to complete. I would like to comment that downloading and installing this extension was a breeze. All softwares should download and install like this. Some are a real pain in the neck. I don't like Delicious bookmarks that well. I prefer my own private bookmarks and properly managed as Firefox does. Delicious does not have a well organized layout for its extensions, in my humble opinion. Another fact that I would like to point out, is that Performancing follows the trend of Flock, which integrated a blog editor inside its browser directly linked to Delicious and Flickr. As browsers evolve, things are going to be a lot easier for us bloggers. Tomorrow will start tinkering with Performancing. Sounds like a lot of fun. Just my two cents on this exciting Firefox extension.

I too upgraded to Performancing 1.1 and liked the changes. I submitted a request in their forums for alphabetizing categories and it was accepted, but obviously not in time for 1.1 -- if the techorati insertion were just a little bit more flexible, I'd be pretty satisfied with it. Now that I've moved to WordPress I've been eying the cat2tag extension-- but being stuck with WPs editing interface makes me hesitant... We are on very similar tracks.

And by adding bookmarklets it becomes as easy to access...

I like the utility of an external editor and, for the functions I typically use (title, text, technorati tags for which I end up using another bookmarklet to create), the process is easiest at this point with Performancing. Not perfect, but better. And of course I only use FireFox-- what kind of tech heathen do you take me for? :) I mean stuck as in the location– even that tiny bit of friction to access it, particularly when I am on slow Bush Alaska dial-ups makes it less useful.

Anyway, I'm by no means knocking WP, being a regular on the dev-list and having submitted a fix or two to the codebase...

I'm blessed with non-sucking bandwidth most of the time so don't mind the web interface (but even then the javascript engine for the rich text editor, and flickr integration, etc. can take longer to download than I'd like). It'd be cool if there was a standalone/local version of that web UI. Perhaps a XUL wrapper. I guess that's where Performancing and Flock are heading, but they aren't quite there yet...
