Windows Live Writer
November 29, 2008 by Ben Shoemate
Wow. As I said in an earlier post I am testing desktop blogging tools today. Since I can not use the firefox only Scribefire plugin because of an apparently unsolvable problem with firefox, I first tried out Qumana and now Windows Live Writer. So far, all I can say is wow…it downloads your theme so you can type directly in a true WYSIWYG – So, far, I’m truly impressed. The preview is a real preview. All the features are here and more. Here is the break – much more after it.

Tools to edit your blog offline – Qumana review
November 29, 2008 by Ben Shoemate
I’m in the market for a desktop blogging tool. For a year now, I have been using Scribefire, a Firefox plug-in to post to my blog from any where on the web. I like the fact that the icon was always there in the bottom of the browser. I could start a post, finish it at my leisure and it used the built in spell check of firefox. But, alas, I have an unsolvable problem with firefox. So I am writing this with Qumana…what do I think, well…(read the rest)
- Somehow it managed to post with the wrong timestamp. Ok, figured that out, there is a choose date feature…nice.
- I can’t figure out how to insert a blog splitter – as most of you wordpress fans know, WordPress lets you insert a <hr> tag to tell wordpress where to put the "more" button.
- It has spell check, but and suggestions, but clicking the suggestion doesn’t change the text…weird. Oh nevermind, it does…
- It has an insert ad feature, put it takes a loooong time to insert and you can not do anything while its inserting.
- Its Java based and that scares just me a little.
- I really like the droppad tool. This is a floating desktop icon that stays on top of all windows. Select text or pictures and drag them to the drop pad. You can do this over and over, then when your ready, double click it and you will see everything you have collected read for your blog entry. nice.

My unsolvable problem with Firefox freezing my computer…
November 29, 2008 by Ben Shoemate
My laptop (Thinkpad T61p) keeps freezing with Firefox 3. Nothing else causes even the slightest problem…only firefox. What happens? Well, nothing…the clock stops ticking, the mouse stops moving, and absolutly nothing happens…I have to hold down the power button to force a restart. I love you firefox, but I can’t keep living this way, walking on egg shells, wondering if the next click will be my last. Below is everything I know, everything I’ve tried…help me Internet, your my only hope. Read more » »
The Song from the end of Portal Game
November 26, 2008 by Ben Shoemate
I played this game over the weekend. It’s short, sweet, and very fun. It’s worth the $10 it costs at Target. But for 2 days now I’ve had the creepy song at the end stuck in my head. So I made a recording so I can listen to it over and over…that’s the only way I have found to get a song out of my head is to learn the words. Otherwise my brain keeps looping through trying to “figure out” the lyrics. Watch it below… Read more » »
