Windows Live Writer

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

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.

    We’re off in the morning (A 5:30 flight, ugh!) for a long weekend of site-seeing, exploring, photographing and eating our way around Philadelphia, with a one-day side trip up to N.Y.C. Needless to say, my involvement in the blogosphere will be minimal until Weds. or so, but I’ll be sure to have details, and photos…

    I’m obviously not in the office so no one is going to “appreciate” me, you know like they even notice me outside of when something needs fixed. *L* Listening to Nelson Minar talk about the magic behing Google. It’s pretty interesting. I’m sure the more developer-type folks here have more to say about it. Follow…

    Should be an interesting week. I’ve got three new machines and an AV upgrade showing up, probably tomorrow. I’ll have to deploy those three machines, making sure to copy files, emails, calendars and all that stuff for those three, plus a fourth that is being moved from one user to another.
