Blog entry via Windows Live Writer

So this post is coming straight from Windows Live Writer.

So far its an impressive piece of software, wonder how well this is going to work. I installed a couple of Plug-ins; Insert Polaroid, Insert Code, Paste from Visual Studio and Text Template.

Lets test some stuff out;

  • A Slashdot Link (should pop new window).
  • A small Icon Image (should be transparent PNG) -> agt_action_success
  • How about some HTML Code:
         1:  <html>
         2:  <body>
         3:  This is some HTML Code
         4:  </body>
         5:  </html>

       
  • And now a quote:
    • "Software is like sex: it’s better when it’s free" – Linux Torvalds

Very, very cool.

Favorite Wallpaper (via Lightbox)

I was wondering how this Lightbox extension for BlogEngine works.

Here is my current favorite wallpaper, (clicky pops 1280×1024).

A New Years Sunset

It’s a blog eat blog world.

A blog? Why you ask?

Well its not meant to be a point of social discussion, or my witty rant's on my conspiracy theories. No, not so much. The intent of this feature filled experience is to basically document my experiences in technology, yes I use the word 'experiences' very loosely. My adventures, dis-adventures, wins, losses and throw-the-damn-thing-out-the-window experiences.

Bottomline, this is meant as a place where I can document things I experiment with hopefully to help me remember what I did to get it working in the first place.
