Proof of Live

Well more info trickles in about proof of life live. Check out WindowsXLive which has a tiny little screen shot.
So information is starting to build. And Monday appears to the day of further annoucements. I’m unlikely to be able to comment on Monday until later in the day as I’ve got a crazy workshop to [...]

Further news on Windows Live Writer

{Added 14th August} Windows Live Writer is real and is live. Visit the Windows Live Writer space to get the scoop and download the software. Menori.com covered the first ‘whiff’ of Live Writer back on July 15th. And has followed it’s progress since. Check out the Windows category for all menori posts on Windows Live [...]

It ‘Lives’… Windows Live Writer

Sources inform me that there is such a thing as Windows Live Writer and it is an application that allows you to write documents and also post them to a blog. One or two people appear to have been doing this (as suspected from the Iron Yuppie posting in the past) but little else is [...]

Oblivion - a Champion shares his experiences (part three)

Four Dremora stood before Hadaster each of them brandishing huge claymores. The blades briefly reflected the light from the Sigil Stone that burned above. A lesser mortal would have run in terror from the sight of the snarling humanoids, but Hadaster could only think about the magical properties of the weapons they carried. “I’m going [...]

Paralysis or perpetual beta?

ZDNet have blogged on the current state of play of Windows Live, commenting that Niall Kennedy has left Microsoft and that the initiative is in a state of paralysis. Well I think that’s just another term for perpetual beta.
Comments on the post mention that the desktop is dead and that it’s only the browser that [...]

The tag…

http://www.technorati.com/tag/windows+live+writer
Ok so Technorati have now got a tag for “Windows Live Writer”. I didn’t create it, well not that I’m aware of. So what does this prove? Probably nothing. But equally there’s a growing interest in the term as nearly 40 visits to Menori.com have come from people searching for that phrase.

Lend me your eyeballs

I had some travelling to do over the weekend and decided to take some good reading material with me on the train. I’m still reading Chuck Norris’ autobiography (that in itself should be made into a film, the entire planet would cry) at the moment. I also took Guanxi which is about Microsoft’s foray into [...]

One more thing…

I’m not going to comment on Steve Jobs’ keynote at the Apple WWDC. It’s been done to death elsewhere. If you want to see the fruits of it then visit Apple’s website and read all about Leopard.
Needless to say Leopard looks like it’s going to be a neat upgrade and once again demonstrates the elegant industrial design that [...]

It’s cool being a Sith Lord…

This is one of my favourites…

Stevenote WWDC 2006

There’s not long to wait now until his ‘Steveness’ does his keynote at the Apple WWDC for 2006. Mac OS 10.5 will be launched at the event and no doubt Steve will cover off the cool new features. O’Grady’s Powerpage has a supposed leaked feature set of what’s included in 10.5 ‘Leopard’.
If it’s accurate this [...]
