org-googlecl - blogging to blogger.com through org-mode


Installing a new Asus 1015PEM netbook with Debian Squeeze recently I had to
reinstall the google command line utility, googlecl. My utility org-googlecl to
allow me to blog directly from org-mode entries was broken however.



Google command line utility



Reason? googlecl , somewhat surprisingly, does not automatically create its
~/.local/share/googlecl/ directory. Simply create it yourself and then
org-googlecl works as documented.



Blog directly to blogger.com from Emacs (org-mode support)



As a side note, using the Liquorix kernel, the Asus works perfectly with
Debian : all the "usual suspects" work - suspend/resume, wireless and audio all
work. Initially post-resume I had to manually remove and re-modprobe the
brcm80211 driver but that now seems to be resolved. On the downside, battery
life is rubbish compared to running Win 7 Start Edition which it came with (dual
boot) but its still acceptable - but when you think I have this litle beauty
running apache2 and mysql it's still a great little portable machine.
