Random Thoughts to Close Out April 2008

Live Writer in 64-bit Vista

The Ever Inconsistent Microsoft...
One of the things that annoys me about Microsoft (and this is true, to some extent, of any large company) is that there are too many times where it seems that one hand is not talking to the other. Sometimes, it seems like one hand doesn't even know that there's another hand. Read More...

Weird Blogging Error...
Every now and then, for reasons that I have yet to pin down, when I make a blog post, it will be available for a few minutes, and then it will generate an error if I try to reach it directly. It will be fine enough to edit, and it will show up fine on Read More...
Windows Live Writer Plug-ins
Windows Live Writer is turning out to be one of those tools that I can't live without, much as I originally suspected . And it has been made even more useful with a collection of Plug-ins posted on CodePlex , and sponsored by Keyvan Nayyeri . I've just Read More...
Test Subject: I'm testing, testing! Yes, Indeed.

Flexing some Community Server Muscles
This is just a short post to test out the ability to cross-blog. I'm going to be able to save lots of time by posting blogs on my internal server and having it cross-posted to my public server. Let's see if it really works (or, more precisely, if I set Read More...
