Windows Live Writer developers are not serious

Monday, August 14th, 2006

TechCrunch: Windows Live Writer : ..Microsoft launched Windows Live Writer today. This is a free, downloadable application that runs on your Windows PC and allows you to write blog posts. Don’t bother clicking the link if you have a Mac, this is Windows PC software only. Since I use a Mac, I won’t be testing this software..

I did download and clicked on the .msi and the following pop-up was shown

Windows Live Writer

Why is there no offer to take the user to the .NET download ?

This incident will be reported

Oops

Is there a bug in sudo ?

At Typo 4.0.0, I saw the two step installation.

Since there was a “permission denied” error, I tried: sudo gem install typo

First, a password is asked for and then the message “_user_ is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported”

Should it be the other way around? Donot ask for the password if the user is not in the sudoers file !

btw: server migration is planned for tomorrow.sg. I think usage of OpenDNS should make the DNS change transparent.

Battery medium

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

I like the Nokia 6610 a lot. When fully charged, the display is “Battery full” and there is also a message “Battery low”

Why not a “Battery medium” ?

The URL for the phone at Nokia used to be http://www.nokia.com/phones/6610/. Now the page shows Sorry !

Searching for 6610 points to http://www.nokia.com/A4143382

Why did the pretty permalink become an ugly one ?
