Gizmodo has some exclusive information and a photo on the upcoming Microsoft Zune Media Player. One interesting tid-bit is that the scroll wheel is not really a wheel, but just 4 buttons – wonder how usable that will be?
Has anyone seen any details on a SDK for the Zune?
Darren Strange (the UK PM for Office 2007) compares the OneNote 2007 and Live Writer as blog tools.
I must admit, I haven’t spent much time with OneNote 2007, so this was a good read for me.
I’ve been working on the Writer Ink blog plugin some more this evening, and have added quite a few new features, including:
And a few others, but I’m just too tired to think of any more right now 🙂
Here is a teaser until I can do some clean up and do another code drop.
NOTE: A newer version is available here
Since I finally spent some time this weekend setting up Community Server for my new blog (Yea, I know, welcome to the 90’s Ed), I decided to also have a look at
the new MS Windows Live Writer blog posting tool. I quickly found out the only way to use Ink from a Tablet PC is using Cut & Paste – not optimal.
After spending a few hours with the Writer SDK last night, I whipped up a (very!) Beta Plugin for blogging in ink. There are several features I’d like to add, so I’ll probably update it some, in my copious free time :-).
Please take a look, let me know what you think. Enjoy. (Note: this is beta software, use at your own risk)
Requires MS Windows Tablet PC Edition & .NET framework 2.0 to be installed. Plugin will not show up in writer without 2.0 framework.
2) Close all running instances of Writer
3) Unzip and copy the file (InkBlogPlugIn.dll) to your Writer Plugin Directory (C:\Program Files\Windows Live Writer\Plugins by default)
3) You should now see a “Insert Ink Blog” optionon the Insert menu and right side task pane
4) Ink Away!
I was checking out the new Segway Models and came across the manual page.
The Getting Started Guide for the new models (I2 & X2) covers the Bluetooth device people have been speculating about since it hit the FCC site several weeks ago.
Turns out it is called a “InfoKey” and replaces the key, and display on the older model. Looks like it has some new functionality also, namely a trip computer.
A very cool concept, from a very cool company – but personally I would MUCH rather carry around (or lose) the old $10 key vs the new $300(?) one.
First post on the new blog!
