Windows Live Writer and WordPress Memory Limit

Microsoft Windows in 2014

2 February 2014

Got really bored and decided to reinstall my Windows7 on my HP Probook notebook. Fairly an easy operation, half an hour to install Windows, half an hour to install all other software and tweak it the way I like it. And while doing it I realized Windows is a piece of crap OS. It really […]

Yes, Microsoft, Windows should be free

22 October 2013

Apple just release the new OSX titled Maverick for free. I was expecting a move like this from Microsoft. Because their real business is Office, not Windows. Windows is just a window to doing a lot of things. And now is the time, with the PC market going down.

Nobody likes Microsoft

7 September 2013

I feel sorry for Microsoft sometimes. Ok, not really. They used to be this big big bully that scared everyone and now is this big bully that plays alone on a playground, while all the other people moved to another one. I like how their closed ecosystem they loved so much 10 years ago is […]

Where is Microsoft now?

24 August 2013

Steve Ballmer announced his retirement. People cheered. Stocks grew by 8%. Microsoft’s business model was simple so far: computer processors are getting speedier, let’s make Windows use more resources so people would buy new computers, new Windows and Office licenses. Pretty good plan. The love chain broke in 2008, because of Vista and the economic […]

The laptop fan and Microsoft’s approach

29 March 2013

I did some video conversion on my shiny new laptop with Windows 7, SSD and a i5 processor. I understood the processor load has gone to 100% and the fan was spinning like crazy. Half an hour after the conversion has stopped and i was only doing Chrome, the fan has not stopped his crazy […]

Here’s my wish list, in case anybody from Microsoft is listening: fixing the jpg-png transformation bug an option for a cropped thumbnail. an option for choosing my own thumbnail name. wordpress has the -100×100.jpg naming system, wlw has -150×150.jpg system.

Windows Live Writer is retarded

28 January 2011

I love WLW. I use it every day for blogging. It’s great that it supports blog themes and autosaves and everything. But I think it’s retarded. I have huge problems with the image handling system. There are a couple situations that are happening: the system transforms my jpegs into png. there is no such option […]

Enjoying a well-build computer

24 April 2010

I wish i said i am using my new macbook air, but i am not. I am enjoying my new sony vaio y series, the closest thing to a macbook. I really wanted to get one, i love the design, the simplicity, the features, but i couldn’t. The OS is too limited for my taste. […]
