Putting pictures in Windows Live Writer in their original size
I guess I’m one of those people who rarely reads manual, and outside of technical documentation, I rarely read an application’s user manual. So I’m using Windows Live Writer, and I’m trying to embed a picture in my draft blog post. Well, whenever I do that, the picture always come in scaled down (if it’s even a tad large, like 300 pixels wide), like the picture below: Well, obviously with technical and text-heavy images, scaling down is bad (can’t read much). I can go to the HTML source, but I can’t...

2009 St. Louis Day of .NET Conference - August 28 & 29
Residing in St. Louis, I just wanted to let others know about the upcoming St. Louis Day of .Net conference! This will be the second time around - last year it was held in December (granted we had a mild winter, it's still cold nonetheless) and this year it's going to be held in August - yay, no more cold (I bet it's going to be very hot in fact). And it has so much content, it's spilling over into a 2 day conference!. Conference website is: www.stlouisdayofdotnet.com - check it out, it has lots...

St. Louis Day of .NET
Yesterday was the St. Louis Day of .NET event (hencefore I'll refer to STLDODN); it was a great success!. I was fortunate enough to be involved in this grand event; Clint Edmonson asked if I would be available to present some Microsoft PDC material, and I took that opportunity - even got to choose which topic to present. I chose to do a presentation on Parallel Programming for Managed Code Developers. Thanks for the chance, Clint. To make sure I'm well prepared, I also volunteered to present it at...

Changed blog's display skin
After looking at some other blogs that reside here, they all look... better for lack a more suitable word. Went into my configuration and there I saw Display Skin selection, so I gave that a try. Most of the skins/styles are narrow-ish, which doesn't work very well with blogs that may contain code (like I'm planning mine would). I got it down to a few selection that would work, and I'll just put it here so I can remember what they are (and not try them again one-by-one if I wanted to change it in...

Trying to blog...
Blogging is new territory for me, so I'm trying to look & see what stuff can I do with this blog site. I found that you can create new categories, and then each post (I was correct that you blog by creating post - see my first post ) can be associated with 0 or more of these categories. Found a way to edit my first post, so I can associate it with my categories. Also found a way to hyperlink to my first post - again we'll see if this works later. Doesn't seem to be any way to preview or test...
