Other than me, is anyone still using Clive to post journal entries? The stats page for Blurty only shows one Clive user (must be me), the stats pages for LiveJournal, Scribbld, and GreatestJournal don't report client info at all, and the stats pages for JournalFen, CrazyLife, CommieJournal, DeadJournal, and InsaneJournal report client-usage statistics but don't show any Clive users (not even me). There appear to be some reporting issues.

I'm in the process of hacking some useful modifications into the Clive 0.4.5 source (including one I'd meant to do a couple of years ago but kept putting off), and I'm trying to sort out whether I should try to make my additions as general as possible in case somebody else wants to use them, or I should just consider this a personal-use tool. I'm not even sure whether the author is still using it. I don't think there's been any activity on the project for several years.

(I'm using Clive both for automated posts -- my QotD script uses it, and my SMS entries are piped through it by Procmail -- and for all the posts I make by hand. Editing in my favourite editor and then posting the composed entry from the command line when I'm finished tweaking it, is the most comfortable way to work for me. Though I do have it configured to use the right editor if I invoke Clive in interactive mode as well, even though I never wound up using it that way.)

Hmm. That reminds me. I need plug-ins for Opera and Firefox that make them use vi commands in text-entry boxes on web forms. Switching back and forth between vi and the mimimalist built-ins has begun to really annoy me.
