Just testing out the Drupal WYSIWYG module with various editors.It supports:

  • NicEdit 0.9.0
  • openWYSIWYG 1.4.7

  • WYMeditor 0.5
  • YUI editor 2.7.0

Currently using FCKeditor. The main problem is probably going to be geshi compatibility.

My New Soundcard - the Asus Xonar DX

Update: Better fix here http://heratech.net/blog/sham/asus-xonar-dx-ubuntu-better-fix
