Blogs, .NET Blogs, Blogging AAAGGGH!

I was talking with a co-worker recently.  He had stumbled onto Scott Hanselman's Blog.  We started talking about the major blogs that could/should/probably be read on a regular basis and what information they provide.  I came up with a

Smugmug and Windows Live Writer Plugin, via Teamprise Source Client

I officially joined the effort for the Windows Live Writer called smugmug4writer for Smugmug, currently maintained by Chris Patterson.  I've found myself using the plugin so much while writing entries that I finally decided I'd contact him and see

So over the next few weeks and days I'll be pushing out a new development process, methodology and helping extensively with the consulting roles here at work.  My main goal is to make us FAST and to maintain quality and expand that.  One of

Xobni Rocks! More Analytics!

As I start my WebTrends blogging I also have stumbled onto some other analytics products and social information applications.  These help in general daily activities a LOT!  One that my buddy Eric Sterling showed me recently is Xobni.

So I decided, after not checking for months, quarters, probably a year or two, where the performance is for some browsers.  Here's what I got. IE is bloated - no surprise really.  Slow tactile response to clicking.  Page load fast, faster

Advertisement Forewarning and Videos

I recently dug into Google's AdWords and AdSense to see how they work.  With that I've decided to toss some somewhat non-intrusive advertisements on my site.  So if you have a moment or two, shoot a comment to me in regards or better yet toss

MagicISO Purchase

I recently did a write up on Magic ISO software, great stuff.  So great I made a purchase of the software that will create bootable disks.  Their software really is king of the heap for ISO management. Technorati Tags: MagicISO del.icio.us

Camtasia and SnagIt Purchased...

I finally broke down and bought em'!  The main reason I finally went ahead and did this is because of the free Camtasia 3.1.3 offering that TechSmith put out not too long ago.  The $299 price was initially just too much for me, I didn't need

Video? Screen Capture? Hosting? Editing? Help Videos!

I've got at least three uses for video;  Filming my drifting efforts at PIR, getting screen captures for samples I'd like to present via Visual Studio per a recent discussion I've had, and of course for general editing, manipulation, and entertainment
