McNaught's Matinee

missed it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_McNaught.  i'm usually more on top of things like this.

*kick self* *kick self* *kick self* *kick self* *kick self* ....

self: hey, what are ya doin' that for ?!  you're the one who screwed up !

*punch self* *punch self* *punch self* *punch self* *punch self* ....

posted with windows live writer (beta) - why post the old fashioned way ?  i ran into this last night at work when digging around for other blogging related things (community server "shared links" implementations, i think).  man, it makes some stuff easy.  like embedding maps on the fly.  i like to do that for my trip log entries, and it's always a pain in the ass.  now, just click-search-click, and presto, instant map-in-post.  supposed to auto-upload & link pics as well.  supposed to; doesn't seem to be working on this blog,  i know that the metablog api handler needs updating; our installation of community server is a service pack behind.

yeah, there are other tools for blog posting as well, but this one just caught my fancy.  lots of plug-ins as well for this.  whether the quality is there or not, i really like the "windows live" stable of toys.

anyway, reminder-to-self to update my website index / menus.  just for kicks i created a fractalnavel myspace account, and i need to update what used to be an msn spaces account link with the new live spaces link.

i wonder if this thing can simul-post ?  you know, cross-post to multiple blogs transparently.  doesn't look like it...

lots of other limitations in terms of custom styling.  would be worth taking a closer look at the plugins.
