Windows Live Writer Beta 2 released

Windows Live Writer Beta 2When we posted that the commercial WSIWYG blogging application Post2Blog had gone freeware, one reader pointed out that it looked a lot like Windows Live Writer.

While Post2Blog had a number of features missing from Live Writer, (and still does), Microsoft has released a major update to Live Writer with support for:
  • Live spell checking
  • Table editing
  • Categories, tags, and labels (depending on your platform)
  • Available in 6 languages
  • Support for new APIs
Existing Live Writer plugins should work with the new version, and Digital Inspiration has a nice list of useful plugins.

  • Quickly add images or documents to your entry by clicking "send to" and "Post2Blog" in Windows Explorer

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
