Apparently I am rapidly becoming ‘Geo Guy’. I seem to be adding Geo / Gps support and plug-ins to everything I use… I just finished adding ‘Insert GPS Link’ support to PockeTwit (a great little Windows Mobile twitter client – really, go and get a copy now…) Previously I added…
Too much effort reading my ramblings ? Want to listen instead ? Now you can !! Courtesy of the excellent odiogo, the excellent text to speech service. This is a free service that bloggers can use, it takes your RSS feed, splits it out to each separate post and then…
A while back I restructured my website so that this blog no longer started at the root, instead starting from /blog. This was so that I could introduce some other web apps and have a subfolder for projects etc. One of the pains of this restructure was modifying all the…
I have just completed a new Windows Live Writer plugin. This extension allows ease insertion of geo microformat information. It allows the user to easily choose the location they want to insert (in microformat) from a Virtual Earth map and also configure how it is displayed (if at all on…

On 13 December 2006 I wrote this post demonstrating why Blogging from Word 2007 to Dasblog (and other blogs that correctly implemented newMediaObject) was broken. Recently I noticed a number of my referrals come from www.codesecurely.com (by Rudolph Araujo). Rudolph goes one step further than I did with the Word blogging problem…
