I have been playing with Windows Live Writer, the "Ink Blog" plugin for Tablet PC and my Addesso CyberTablet. I have been unable to use my tablet effectively in Windows XP because Windows XP "Professional" lacks the ability to understand a pen input device natively, but Vista Business on the other hand, knows how to […]

Since posting my complaint about the bad placement of the WLW publish dialog I have received two responses through the blog’s comment functionality. The first from a Windows Live Writer developer, handled the complaint as a request for functionality, this would be very correct handling. Moving the dialog, or at the least not making it […]

The LG Chocolate II (VX-8550) arrived this morning at 11:26. Took me a while to get it activated after it went through its 4 hour charging cycle. I had to call Verizon and deal with a human because VZW was being a bunch of bitches about my plan and not letting it activate normally because […]

This Friday, June 27, 2008, will be a sad day for geeks everywhere. Bill Gates is retiring from Microsoft. In many aspects no one will know the difference, but as Steve Ballmer has been quoted in many articles, it just won’t be the same. Three people have been selected to replace Bill Gates in his […]

Since Jared decided to comment on the material of the holster, I decided to go ahead and post information about the holster itself. It is a very simple holster and it is fairly universal between LG phones (it is shown here holding an older model LG phone). It is made of leather on all parts […]

Dear developers of Windows Live Writer… with keeping the Microsoft tradition of multi-tasking, I humbly request that you move the publishing indicator to the tray, and get it out of my way, so that I can chain post in peace.

  After wrestling with choices for a new cell phone before my new 2 year timer begins, I finally made a choice. I have selected the LG VX8550, also known as the Chocolate. I ordered it in black. I got a different type  of belt clip for this one. Instead of my usual dorky rigid […]

I now have 10 email accounts in Thunderbird. Why? I don’t know. I don’t do enough shit to need that many accounts! curtis.kularski.net This is the oldest account in Thunderbird. I have had this email account for many years. This account now seems to be where a lot of crap I don’t care about ends […]

As I mentioned in my previous post, I am writing some of my blog entries in "Windows Live Writer" now. It is a little simpler than logging into Movable Type every time I want to make a post, but there are a lot of problems with it as well. First of all, It doesn’t understand […]

This morning I opened my Google Analytics account and not shockingly…. my site about my erotic interests (not even really considered porn) gets about 60 hits per day now, that’s up from like 40 in January. DisturbingThoughts is still sitting reliably at about 15 hits per day. The sites clearly have very different audiences. Oddly […]
