A new year, a new list of resolutions. This is just my computer section of the todo list:
# Move this weblog from “MovableType”:http://www.movabletype.org to “Wordpress”:http://www.wordpress.org. Then I can hack the code and get it to behave how *I* want.
# Work on “sendcard”:http://www.sendcard.org/ 4 - I have plenty of ideas and now that FormProcessor works I can start work on it.
# Finish the blogmarks script and release the source code.
# Finish the RSS Aggregator - it’s starting to come together, just needs a few days of solid work on it.
# Write documentation for FormProcessor and Image_Transform. And don’t put this off for another year!
# Learn Flash. “Jacquie Lawson’s cards”http://www.jacquielawson.com/ have convinced me that I want to do this. Not that I can ever hope to draw like that
# Learn Python. The two books a kind user of sendcard bought me off my “wishlist”:http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/registry/3V0UY1QFGC97J will help greatly.
# Learn Javascript/ECMAScript. I want to be able to do the cool things I’ve seen done (like Sitepoint’s “collapsing menu”:http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1259 - which is useful, “Simon’s”:http://simon.incutio.com always “useful stuff”:http://www.sitepoint.com/article/1259, or “mooter’s”:http://www.mooter.com clusters), plus it would be fun to experiment with XUL and write Thunderbird extensions.
# Enjoy what I program; stop getting so hung up over whether the architecture’s right or not - it’s better to have a working program than nothing at all.

We just put WordPress 1.0, which has a MT import. If it works out well for you let me know.
Excellent. I’ll definitely try that.
Peter,
Thanks for running with FormProcessor. I’ve been using Simon Willison’s original code for almost 2 years. For someone who doesn’t know much about PHP (I’m an XHTML-CSS-Designer type of guy), it’s been a Godsend. I can’t wait to try your modified version. Anyways, if you find this year is quickly passing by and you haven’t dived into Javascript, check out JQuery if you want to do some snazzy collapsing stuff. It’s much more than that.
