Windows Live Writer
I’m writing this post via Windows Live Writer on Vista x64. I’ve heard people talking it up on podcasts recently so I thought I should have a look and see what all the fuss is about.
First impressions are that it is actually very good. It has full support for WordPress 2.5 and earlier versions and a bunch of other blogging systems. As I edit this post now it is fully WYSIWYG - as I am editing I see exactly how it will be formatted when posted, including the fonts and colours my chosen WP theme uses.
The GUI is very much like Word 2003, including the red zigzag lines indicating that you can’t spell.
Its pretty nice for a free product and is available for Windows XP as well, but not the 64 bit version.

Gotta love TWiT alright.
I’m surprised with the amount of twit I listen to that I’m not using a Mac and twittering about spinrite.

Twit does seem a bit like apple propaganda at times, but Dvorak’s good at shutting them up
I got fairly pissed off with all the gushing they did over the iphone when it came out. I couldn’t give a flying fuck about twitter either.

Yeah Dvorak adds a nice balance to the over-enthusiastic fanboyism that often crops up.
I’ve been following his other podcasts: ‘crankygeeks’ and ‘no-agenda’, good shit.
