Testing of Live Writer

I downloaded this quite some time ago.  I never did get around to using it.  It is installed on the new machine and this is a test post with a test picture.  

 Wait, it won't let me publish with the picture, I need to configure FTP.  Well, off to give that a try.

First Impressions of T-Mobile Dash

I picked up a Dash on Wednesday. I'm with Sprint with the contract until March, but wanted to check it out. If I liked it, I would keep it and move the family in March.

I like the size compared to some of the others I've looked at (6700 and Treos). It is not as fat, but still a little too wide for me.

The phone is nice, but the earpiece needs to be situated over the right spot on the ear or else the sound is muffled. The volume control is some strange slider dealy on the side that I can not get to work consistently.

I'm still wading through the Windows Mobile stuff. The phone seems responsive when using the WM stuff.

Setting up email was a pain. It didn't like gmail, so I set up another address at earthlink. It is much easier to do on the web than it was on the phone. I finally gave up and noticed a use existing or import existing option on the phone. The email works nicely.

The keyboard isn't bad. I'm getting used to it with my fat fingers. I like the autosuggest feature on the phone.

I have until 11/7 to decide if I want to keep the phone. I like the idea of faves for the family. The reception has been decent where I live. I'm still undecided.

This week I'm hoping to get the active sync working with the Tablet. I hope it works with Outlook 2007. One thing of interest is OneNote Mobile. What I've read about it is very interesting (http://blogs.msdn.com/chris_pratley/archive/2005/11/21/494990.aspx). That coupled with GyroQ on the tablet, I may be getting close to a universal inbox.

Now this is cool

I copied and pasted some stuff into an Excel 2007 spreadsheet that I use to track registration codes. It was a different font, so I highlighted the sheet and started going down the font drop down. As I changed fonts on the drop down, the corresponding font on the spreadsheet changed. Very cool. If you are changing the font for just one cell, just that cell changes as you mouse over the font.
