Ecto for WordPress

Thursday, August 31st, 2006

The previous post said things about Microsoft’s Live Writer for Windows. Now I am scribbling something down about Ecto. Yes, I know, this thingy costs money and the other is absolutely free. Since I am a somewhat adventurous type I decided to put some money where my mouth is and spent EURO 17.80. I think that’s quite reasonable. Thing is that for some absolutely unknown reason, and believe me I have tried every option in the WordPress book, I can’t save my posts. It’s probably a Windows thing. So these came on my path. Live Writer is free intuitive enough but lacks certain features that we WordPress bloggers need. The main thing are the tags. Ecto provides these. Amongst other features. So spent some euros and using Ecto is a relieve. You can always try the 20 day trial if you want, it’s worth a shot.

Adolf’s partytime….

Monday, August 21st, 2006

You just have to watch this one. It's quite hilarious. Makes one see things in perspective?

The englisch translation would be something like:

I'm sitting in my bunker,
in the middle of Berlin,
I've got hydro-cyanic acid pills and plenty of gasoline,
the airforce is gone, the navy and the army, too - World War 2 is just no fun no more.
I don't feel like surrendering,
- well, I've got 3 metres of reinforced concrete above me!
Surrender? Not me! I've still got "Blondy" [his German shepherd] - and a bottle of Chantré!
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig, will you finally surrender!
(- No!)
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig!
(- You'd love to see that, wouldn't you?)
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig, will you finally surrender!
(- I'll never surrender!)
Adolf, you pig!
I'm at war with 53 countries and the bombs don't fall on England but Germany.
Those allied bombers annoy me
because they don't just throw bombs but entire
carpets of them!
No one listens to me, everybody acts as he likes
and who' behind all that? It's this guy Churchill!
That really hurts, yes it does!
I'm left alone with "Blondie" and a bottle of
Chantré.
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig, will you finally surrender!
Adolf, you old Nazi-pig!
(- No, I will never surrender! That's out of the
question that this guy Churchill will to laugh up
his sleeve! No! That Churchill! I won't surrender!
I'll never surrender!
Don't be afraid, Blondie, we won't surrender...
Maybe we can even still win this war! I think so.
I'm really quite confident about that. Hopefully...

Oh, the credits.
"Walter Moers"? Okay...?
Stop! That's way too fast! Rewind, stop!

... it's all in English! Weird...

"GFP" - "great Führer-bunker"... probably spelled wrong.

Windows Live Writer blasts off

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

Certainly something new for me. Check this out. Maybe a solution for my posting problems. Who knows. I stumbled upon this new Microsoft Tool by mere coincidence. I have run some tests with it and by golly it works! I am a happy man. Now where shall I leave my tags? That is a question.

Sneak preview WordPress 2.1?

Saturday, August 12th, 2006

I am still a bit doubtfull whether I missed this or did I really stumbled upon a sneak preview? The tocome new WordPress version 2.1 offcourse will be revised, overhauled and comestically upgraded. But how will it look? Just maybe your (and my) answers can be found at Broken Kode.

The Shuttle is a complete beautification of the WordPress Administration Panel. The project has been in development since early 2005. The images on Broken Kode effectively show the future of the WordPress administration panel. These are the images they did in Photoshop, so there is no plugin for you to download, as it’s not been incorporated into the final release yet.

Definetely one to watch

I just can't help it. Part one was one I liked already. It's gotta be Johnny Depp's appearance. Bloom I can mis, Depp not. He's charismatic in every movie. Take a peak, you'll love it. Savvie?

Cars, a great movie

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

The other day I went to the cinema with my son to watch Disney's newest, Cars by Pixar. Great one for children, but hey, watch out you might like it too.
