Author: Looks like today was a big day in the Microsoft Live area. Live Writer has quickly become a preferred blog authoring tool for just about everyone I’ve introduced it to. In fact, I can’t think of anyone that uses anything else! There’s a ton of new features but my favorite is the new API that allows for more customization. Why is this great? There’s already a plethora of extensions for Windows Live Writer and this is only going to promote more. Check out the windows live writer blog for more details.

Last week myself and Carlos Caneja spoke on webhosting and how it relates to e-commerce applications at the aspdotnetstorefront / interprise suite, “Connections Business Technology Conference”. If you’re not familiar with what interprise and aspdotnetstorefront are doing, these two companies have been working together to bring a complete CRM/ERP solution that integrates with an e-Commerce application online. It’s quite exciting to see the work they’re doing and the other companies they’re partnered with. The image on the left is that of myself, Rob from aspdotnetstorefront and Carlos.
On May 6th my wife and I were visiting Washington DC prior to going to the SWsoft conference. While walking through DC we saw the white house was closed off and they weren’t letting anyone close to it. Thinking we’d get to see the President or the Queen (She was visiting that weekend) we waited around. Well we didn’t get to see either but we did get to see the US Secret Service Bomb Robot in action. Definately not something you get to see everyday. Ofcourse it was a false alarm but still quite interesting to see. I’ll post more DC photos and details about what’s new and upcoming from SWsoft. They demo’d Virtuozzo 4.0 and it’s new management tools and it’s very impressive.
I got word from my Aunt that my Cousin (Andy Roberts) and his son (Zachary Roberts) made a pretty cool cake and got featured in their local paper. I have to admit this is pretty awesome indeed. Not sure where they got the idea for such a gruesome cake but it’s way cool.
