Windows Live Writer 2008
Oh, I’m posting from Windows Live Writer, one of the Windows Live Product. I found that it’s quite good, giving me first impression easily. From what I see recently–since Office 2007 or more specifically OneNote, I think Microsoft have done really good job about usability of their software; even though, Vista is what all folks complained about–I will talk about that later though.
Windows Live Writer is for writing. I doubt that what it’s really for. At first I thought is sort of OneNote but it’s actually, Windows Live Blogger! It will help anyone posting a blog very easy from your Windows PC. Whatever blog you have from Windows Live Space, SharePoint Webblog, Blogger, or even your WordPress; this program will recognize by itself, damned easy!! what I have to know is my blog address, user, and password. And I mean that’s it. Windows Live Writer will find anything in a minute for ready to post! I can do almost everything I should have to do–setting category, inserting any object, adding plug-ins, setting publish date, editing the post that publishing via the program itself or adding tag for any tag providers you like. I don’t know what else to say; it’s better than posting on blogger via Picasa for sure.
What I really like is I can save draft on my PC for publishing later or preview like it already published on your blog. You’ve got to see it for real.
However, why it’s version 2008 I have no idea but newbies products from Microsoft are really changing the way they were before. It’s clean and easy but still tweakable. Maybe Microsoft is trying to show that it’s still far superior than its opponents; who knows? wait for Leopard hits the shelves and see if it still is.

A weirdo case–can surf only on ie, while others have no connection.
This is my first time that I can’t get computer works as I want and in the time I work. Oh! darn! I really don’t have any idea how to do it since I have no another computer with me. No excuse I can’t fix that.
The symptom is it works almost the same as usual but you cannot connect to the internet at all (but LAN is connected to DSL modem successfully) except ie which you can surf to the internet almost perfectly. That thing is there is something blocks the popular mail site for logging in. I mean I can login to Yahoo! Mail via mobile site and go to http://mail.yahoo.com without any problem! What the heck is that? that makes me stupid for a while.
What I had done is trying to disable almost everything unnecessary from startup; the result is LAN is connected as usual; I mean I can login to Modem via HTTP (192.168.1.1) but I can’t go to other sites at all. Then I set the startup as default; what I got is slow (surely) and only ie that can connect the internet, besides most web-mails.

x Startup program
desperate me, I never think of this moment but I won’t give up.
Now I have 1 suspect which is expired Norton Antivirus that I can’t uninstall at first due to broken registry and lots of spyware & worms. I mean I really can’t uninstall or re-install by common way. So I might need a backup–but who else around me can help this! (Norton remove tool and how to manually move Norton out of the system) I will try these two ways to see if it works. Keep up!
