Windows Live Writer

Ed Bott loves it. I read about it and downloaded it. I opened it, I configured it to login to this blog. I saw some very interesting things. I saw some definite promise. Unfortunately, I also saw a tool that needs some more work before I can depend on it full time. Seems like they’ve left plenty of room for improvements through plugins with the SDK, but when you go to all the trouble to do WYSIWYG editing, photo and map publishing, and spell checking couldn’t you just go ahead and add a tagging platform or access the Flickr API? Maybe once some folks get ahold of the SDK and develop these sorts of plugins, I’ll be more likely to use it.

    It’s soon going to be 2003. This is a year I’ve actually looked forward to for quite some time. There’s quite a lot of unfinished business that I’m hoping to take care of this year, professionally. Obviously, that will start on Jan 6 when I take the A+ certifications. From there it’ll probably move into…

    Jeremy posted today about someone calling him a “whiz kid” and how, at 24, he doesn’t really feel like a kid. Here’s the thing, without knowing much about the person who said it, it’s hard to tell where the idea comes from. In my office I’m seen by some as a “whiz kid” because I’m…
