Taglocity: Better email management in Outlook

Free add-on to Outlook which adds Gmail-like tags and conversation list.

I haven't tried it yet, but it seems like it's worth a try. It's free!

Windows Live Writer

by Brian Kim 15. September 2008 23:03

After reading about how people are having good experiences with Windows Live Writer, I decided to try it for my main tool for writing posts to my blog.

Here are my brief thoughts of my experience so far using Windows Live Writer with BlogEngine.NET.

Pros

  1. [WLW+BE] Categories, tags, slug, excerpt and etc are well integrated.
  2. [WLW+BE] Other advanced options like open/close comments and selecting authors are also supported.
  3. [WLW] Better/more options for inserting images compared to what default TinyMCE offers. It automatically resizes images into 3 different sizes that I can predefine and select from. It also allows you to add text watermark and select simple frames.
  4. [WLW] Extensions for even more fun!

Cons

  1. [WLW+BE] You cannot write "pages" with WLW.

I like it so far.

I'm now going to try out some extensions now, first one being the code snippet extension.
Exciting...

Finally got started blogging!

by Brian Kim 14. September 2008 00:06

I was planning on blogging for years now, and finally, here I am writing my first blog post.

This blog is a place for me to write about anything that is in my interest; things like programming, web, gadgets and etc.
Some will be original content and some will be just quotes from other places.
I will post about anything that is of my interest and things that I'd like to keep for reference; like code samples and stuff.

I am not a professional writer. This is just a place for me to... well, "log" things. This is a web "log," a blog after all.
I am not a native English speaker, so you are very welcome to correct me for any typo or grammar error.

I hope that you will find something helpful, useful and interesting in what I find helpful, useful and interesting.
