Trying out Live Writer

Since I started blogging several years ago I mainly used the web interface to do all my blogging. I then switched to writing almost everything in OneNote, then posting via the web interface with the HC&P (Human Cut & Paste) API. When Office 2007 came out I tried the OneNote 2007 blogging feature (via Word). It worked okay, but I didn’t like having to go through two programs to get the job done.

Interested in being a Speaker?

User groups are constantly looking for good speakers. We have been lucky with CINNUG to get some really good speakers in. But speakers can be hard to come by. CodeZone (www.codezone.com) is a resource for developers to get hooked up with learning resources, including a local user group. One of the features it has included is also a regional speakers bureau. Like the Speakers bureau for INETA this list is a resource for user group to get into contact with speakers for your group or event.

Tablet Relisted

Short Story: The tablet has been relisted at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290129179836 if you’re interested. Long Story (aka, my lack of faith in mankind is affirmed): So, imagine my hapiness this morning when I get an alert saying my tablet sold with someone using the Buy Now feature. Woot! I got my full asking price in less than 8 hours! Well, not so fast. I send an email asking for confirmation on the address and what shipping method they’d like to use.
