How does this work
September 1, 2008 |
Firstly, I haven’t blogged in days though it feels like ages. Of course I broke one of the cardinal rules of blogging, that being absent and not having prepared posts with the date stamp function. Several reasons exists for this situation.
Partly depression, partly fatigue and partly procrastination….the thief of time!
I am typing this post using Windows Live Writer. Just testing it. And though I must still see if it is my cup of tea I do get its functionality.
That brings me to Windows….I don’t like Windows or most of its products. For every little thing you want to download it always seems there needs to be extra stuff installed. In this case, when I downloaded the Zemanta plugin I first had to install the .NET framework…which bothers me since everything from Windows or Microsoft for that matter seems to slow down my computer at one or the other stage. Look no further than Internet Explorer 5 - 7 and now IE8 of which the beta version is now available…
Microsoft needs to learn how to effectively combat the open source market with their browser. I mean, though the Zemanta plugin is not yet available for use here at bundublog it is a light extension for Firefox, Flock and argh IE…
But as with most plugins for IE like the Stumble Upon bar it requires you to download a whole file to your computer and then install it….what’s up with that?And that is just the tip of the iceberg that is Microsoft and Windows.
The point that I am trying to make is that I do not like Microsoft or its products simply because it feels as though it makes my life and that of my computer hell……….!!
So lets see if live writer works….
