test ink post

jkOnTheRun friend and brain-child behind Tiny Screenfuls, Josh Bancroft, looks like he’s got himself a UMPC to play with. He’s giving ink blogging a try with Live Writer and has posted an ink post for all to see. Beware, Josh, once you go ink you will never be the same again. [IMG] [IMG Bancroft does ink]

Josh Bancroft tries out ink blogging with Live Writer on what looks to be a UMPC?.

I’ve also started playing around with Windows Live Writer – I got it connected to two external blogs and one internal blog – so far so good.

One issue I noted on my home blog, is that if you are using wordpress with certain plugins (notably the smart pinger plugin – which I love btw), it will see a post from windows live writer as an edit to an existing post, vs. a new post, and therefore will not ping unless you do it manually after posting.

A bug perhaps, but one that I’m willing to live with – because I like the live writer interface quite a bit.

Yeah, I saw your post about that. Hopefully they can fix that behavior in the future. It’s definitely a great tool!

To top off that week in grand style, Brian and I got together to record a podcast, old-school style. Just two geeks in a conference room with a mic, some gadgets, and a whole lot to talk about. The show is about an hour long, and 27MB. You can play it directly from the player on this post, or use the download link. Or even better, subscribe to the TinyScreenfuls feed in your favorite podcast aggregator (like iTunes) to get it automatically. Aaron from Intel Software Network was nice enough to arrange to get me a Samsung Q1 UMPC to use for a week (it’s actually the same unit you see in my video with Aaron). “But you have to blog about it!” he said. I didn’t blog about it while I had it, because I was saving up to talk about all of my impressions on the podcast with Brian (Aaron was invited, but couldn’t make it). Aaron, I hope this podcast makes up for it. What’s a UMPC? For those who don’t know, it’s basically a very small Tablet PC. It runs full blown Windows XP Tablet Edition, and can be hooked up to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and used just like a regular PC. But the Ultra Mobile part is what’s so cool about it. About the size of a paperback book, with a 7 inch touch screen, you can take it anywhere. Imagine what new uses you could find for such a powerful, small device in your life. I know I have… [...]
