Testing Microsoft Windows Live Writer

16th August 2006 - Category: Site News

I heard about Microsoft Windows Live Writer on Buzz Out Load my favourite tech talk show. So far it seems pretty good, I realise it is Beta, but hay isn’t everything these days. The funniest thing I heard on BOL was that having a Girlfriend was like being in relationship Beta, Tom admited that his relationship went gold a couple of years back. Any ladies looking to go alpha over dinner can direct their comments below, hahahaha!

p.s. as mentioned on BOL, WLW doesn’t support creation of new categories :( otherwise seems okay.

DA V5 craps out under Opera. Thankfully the quick whitted and clever peeps at the Opera Forums have css and js fixes, findable here [link]

Now DA knows what is causing the problem hopefully things can be patched at their end.

David Lanham’s Amora
