Stupid new features

Today I added an RSS newsfeed to Asymptomatic, which you can read by clicking the little orange XML doo-dad on the left side of the home page.

What can you use this for?  Well, if you had a web site like this one or this one, you could include articles from my site on yours.  Wouldn't that be entertaining?

School, Alias, War

Well, school went by blazingly slow last night.  My analytical writing class is a real snoozer.  I actually spent a lot of time doing my assignments for class incorrectly, and was pretty disappointed to find out that I wasn't supposed to analyze the writing, but report what was written.

Besides that, isn't it a bit demanding to assign a one-page paper on an article that's only 2 pages long?  What am I supposed to say without plagiarizing the whole thing?

New PageCat Spelling Feature

I added a feature to PageCat that lets me check the spelling of articles directly from the server via the HTML WYSIWYG editor.  You simply click the Check Spelling button and it underlines each possible mistake with a dotted red line, telling you how many mistakes it detected.  If it finds no mistakes, it tells you so.

You can then highlight an entire misspelled word (by double-clicking), then right-click on it to pop up the context menu.  The context menu will display a short list (5) of suggestions for replacement.  You click on one of the options that appears, and the word is replaced.  Otherwise, you can just highlight the word and type over it.
