I have pretty much stopped blogging, so there’s a bit of irony in this post. Be that as it may, the best blogging tool out there, Windows Live Write has now been open sourced. At the same time it has been renamed to Open Live Writer. Scott Hanselman has been one of the driving forces behind this initiative, so a big thanks to him.

Update: Here’s the link to the community and download page.

My youngest son is a year and a half old. Also known as Destructor the Baby he got his hands on my Lumia 930 a couple of months back, and needless to say the phone has taken serious beating. Wi-Fi seems to be experiencing some serious issues, the proximity sensor is toast and of course the screen is all scratched up.

Given that the Lumia 950 and 950 XL will soon hit the market, one might think that it is a pretty easy choice to pick a new phone. However, for the first time ever, I am seriously considering selling my soul and get an iPhone. I know, who knew. To be honest, I have grown pretty tired of a couple of things on the Windows mobile side of things. There have no meaningful updates to the OS for a very long time. The app gap is still there and not getting better at all. iPhone offers all the apps I need for work, usually before they are on Windows mobile and usually in a better state.

Knowing myself, I am sure the iPhone will be my gateway drug to the Macbook pro and other Apple stuff. Given how all of my tools of trade are running in the browser, except for Visio, that should not present any problems. My bank account might not agree though.

I didn’t know about this feature. Very nifty.

 

Update: Crisis averted, it was a network problem at work.

Getting my Widows Phone 8.1 on

Vacation is rapidly approaching, and for the last couple of weeks I have been rocking my new Lenovo IdeaPad. This is without a doubt the best laptop I have ever owned, but to be honest, I have not really been putting it through the ropes. Work has taken up a lot of time and energy lately, as well as the real world, which has reared its ugly head from time to time.

Be that as it may, as I am putting the finishing touches on my current project, I think it is time to reflect a little bit about the things I have learned since leaving Evenex two years ago. Hopefully my upcoming vacation will result in some more posts and some work on a side project.
