One thing I’ve noticed lately while using gmail to forward multiple emails (mostly on the inbound side) is that it just doesn’t work. For example, I use Outlook (and actually like this M$ product when paired with an Exchange server) and today I had the need to forward 2 emails to a colleague who uses Gmail’s web interface to Google Apps.
It just refuses to work and gmail screws up the forwarded emails because they are “.msg” attachments. Here’s what it comes across like:
Resolution? Send each forwarded email by itself as an inline attachment. Ugh.
I probably won’t have much use for an offline blog editor for my own site, but I can see it being valuable in other scenarios. There’s always some quirks, and I’m just testing out a few to see how they work.
Zoundry: Works okay, both on my own and on some work sites. A little clunky to use.
Windows Live Writer: Works fine on my own, but won’t connect to work stuff because the SSL certificate is self-signed. That’s a bit of a pain. It also wraps stuff like paragraphs in HTML code which I have mixed feelings on.
Neither works all that well with custom tagging systems, although Live Writer allows you to set a custom tag provider. With some hacking, it could be set up to work okay, but still kind of messy.
Overall, the concept is great. Write what you want to without having to worry about having an internet connection and when you find one, just upload all your posts at once. One thing that sucks though, is that none of the ones I’ve played with allow you to write wordpress pages. Anyone have suggestions on what to try out next?
I’ve spent a bit on some vino before, but this one tops the cake. My boss cashed in a bet that I lost. Only $141.95 per person for dinner… But Adam, you make the best pork chop I’ve ever had. In fact, it’s in the top 2-3 dinners I’ve ever eaten, and absolutely perfect every time I have one.
I built this site a little while ago, never really did much to push it. Basically it’s for people to sell their Land Rovers, and offers some cool features like RSS feeds and email notifications for new ads - very similar to the email notification for this, my blog.
So I checked today in the stats, and see that I’ve got decent placement in MSN for the terms I was going for: Land Rover for Sale.
This is all nice and good, and some will say MSN is easy to game. Fine. I’m still happy that I gamed it very simply without really any work. But that’s all besides the point.
LandRoverForSale.org was the whole objective. I built this site for people to sell their Rovers to other Rover enthusiasts for free. That’s it. Maybe some day I’ll get a free Rover from Land Rover to drive around in as advertising or something. We can all dream, can’t we?!
Topdeq has some pretty cool, modern office furniture and stuff. If I can afford it and I’m making good money, I may buy something when the house remodel is done.
I especially like the Modul and Carve lines.
