Windows Live Writer clones Tanjun'ka, Hooray

2006-08-15

Actually I'm very happy about this. Almost 2 years ago I set out to create Tanjun'ka to solve the problems of quickly posting images on my blog. I got it to a workable state but development kind of came to stand still. You can read about it on the Tanjun'ka dev blog

Well, today or a couple of days ago Microsoft released what is basically the same product called Windows Live Writer solving the same issues in nearly the same way.

Please Help Me Identify Some Music

2006-06-16

I'm trying to find a couple of songs I heard at a show the other day. One is Japanese or maybe it's a Japanese remake of an English song. The other is Spanish I think. I recorded a short segment of each song with my camera. If you happen to know the names of the songs please post them below. I'd really like to find them.

Song #1: Don't Need Any Love

Song #2: Spanish Song

Sleipnir

2006-02-24

Everyone has heard of Firefox and many have heard of Opera but how many of you have heard of Sleipnir? I have no idea what their actual marketshare is but if I was to go by looking at my co−workers for the last 2 years it would be something like 90%.

Splitting my site

2006-02-14

I just split my site into blog.greggman.com and games.greggman.com. I kind of see it as, games, is my game development oriented site. A place for me to discuss and bring up game and career related things. The blog site is more personal. Of course feel free to read either, both or neither but it seemed to me that I needed to separate the two. I'd prefer if I'm discussing game development that and someone wants to look me up they can concentrate on game dev related stuff and skip the "looking for a girlfriend" stuff. I hope it works out.

SkyScout

2006-01-05

This seems like something out of a Scifi movie. It's a gadget you hold up to your eye, look for a star in the sky and it will tell you about that star supposedly including all kinds of info, even audio. You can also request a star and it will guide you to it. Its memory is upgradable and its got an SD slot for even more data.

Really Simple Sharing. NOT!

2005-12-02

Ray Ozzie, a guy that works at Microsoft, posted about a new standard he and his group are proposing for sharing data like contact lists, task lists, calendars etc called. Really Simple Sharing

I only glanced at the spec for a few seconds but as far as I can tell it's really missing the point. Maybe there is time to fix it I hope.

Pandora

2005-11-13

I guess the current topic of discusion is Pandora. It's site that you type in a musical artists's name or a song name and it will play music that's supposed to be similar. I think really the only thing that makes it interesting is it's free. I tried it and it failed pretty miserably to provide similar music.

First I tried Pizzicato Five. It gave me Bizzare, Inc. (house music), Taylor Dayne (gospel house?), Brazillian Girls (mellow house). All WRONG!

I tried Moocheba it gave me a bunch of groups that sounded like acoustical alternative , t.A.T.u (WTF?), Amy Grant (Super WTF!?). My first choice would have been like Sneaker Pimps

I tried Massive Attack I got Darediablo (heavy metal, WTF!)
