LJ Clients

[vernard]

So now that I've gotten my desktop working the way I want it. Or at least faking it well enough to be happy, I'm addressing the lesser things such as a decent live journal client. I currently do my reading via RSS with Sage from within Firefox. But the True Unix Hacker in me belives that you should have separate applications to do separate tasks and have a nice way of tying them together. Sage does a bang up job at the moment but I'm looking for standalone RSS readers that run under linux. Or if there is some better app for reading Livejournals then that works too.

On the posting side of things, I've been using Logjam and it seem to mostly meet my needs. although I really want to be able to specify my own editor. I've been using "vi" for so long that to use a plain rtf text editor actually slows me down. And that just simply annoys me to no end. I've tried out Drivel which seems to be very close to Logjam. For some reason it feels better to me but I can't explain why. But for now my default is still Logjam.

Any suggestions out there in LJ land?

sheeshh... slow day. But I'm interested in the responses on this one as well. I haven't found an RSS or lj client i'm happy with.

Oddly enough, I read lj with-- get this-- a web browser. I don't think rss would buy me a whole lot, but then, my friends list isn't insane.

I would love to find something that's basically a logjam with a vi window instead, yes. And on top of that, I want it to be able to reply in the comments section, too...

But I'm too lazy to actually hack code to get it. :)
