Windows Live Writer is due an update, but the Windows Live Writer team hasn’t announced any time frames as to when we might see the new version.

And while Windows Live Writer 2009 is a great program for blogging, and especially the use of using themes as you’re composing the post, some times the program doesn’t do as you expected and the themes are all messed up, or the theme your using with Windows Live Writer is not compatible.

So to help others adjust on the fly, here’s some information on how to deal with it.

This is a short post, but a valid point.

As any user out there on the web, you’ve your monitor set for something like 1680 or higher, and you’ve your fast computer and everything is just hunky-dory, but the confusing part is that most sites are only created to handle or work with 1280; that’s just the way it is- It’s sad really.

Why are people torturing themselves with these itty-bitty little images and text?

It cries stupidity and it doesn’t make any sense!

It’s no surprise that the pirating of Windows 7 is just so obsessive right now. Microsoft Vista was such a disastrous release. Microsoft release Vista thinking it would be the answer to XP and it was just the opposite.

I wouldn’t really buy a Windows 7 Key from EBay and I wouldn’t buy a copy Windows 7 before it’s release date. And Reuters is already reporting China has Windows 7 on the shelves for close to $3.

The problem that’s pointed out in that article is the same as the issue that’s here. Windows 7 is too damn expensive and if people can’t buy it; they are going to pirate it. Where’s there’s a need, there’s a supplier and where there’s a supplier… there are crooks and opportunists.

Making Firefox that much easier to use a common goal of everyone. I found this plug-in and I like how it works.

The basics of it are that when you double click a word(s) the terms can be searched by a quick popup window.

I thas some social and search functions from the popup that makes finding that unknown word or researhing a term very easy to research; even Twitter it.

For all you advanced IT Administrator/Consultant guru’s out there, your going to love this little gem.

How many times have you found yourself having to manually type in a path to a file? A lot – I know- been there and felt that.

CopyPath is a shell extension that copies the full path names of selected files in Windows Explorer.

I was in a discussion the other day with some friends and it was so interesting that it deserves to be written down and shared.

I’m not disgusted with Google and I don’t totally distrust them, but they do control or have access to a lot of information. I mean a lot of information. And when your talking about a company that deals with a lot of information, you really need to ask yourself, ‘what are they doing with it?’ or ‘what can they do with it?’

It’s a troubling thought.

Email is such an official occurrence. For me when I get an email it’s a notification something has been completed, something official like my account has been opened or if I just registered for a website/forum.

When you get as many emails as I do, I’m looking for entertainment, something thought provoking and stimulating. And with 15+ years of Internet surfing and emails- I’ve seen all the chain letters, the scams, the crap and the just plain stupid emails… and I really don’t want to.

I’ve already posted that I think ISP’ are going to change to to ‘media company’, but the more interesting thing is the communication lines like telephone.

It’s not enough to have a phone line anymore; full well, Verizon isn’t interested in land line phone connections anymore. Just about every Internet connection is going to offer VOIP service. The old days of the land line are going away.

Instant Message services have been offering VOIP for years with their services, but now the major carriers are finding out they can have VOIP and just about anyone with an Internet connection can have phone service.

Facebook Instant Message is going to have VOIP capabilities here soon.
