I posted before about WB Editor, my biog posting client. Now I've got their 2.0 version, and it has much improved interface.

I like it, and I finally gotten around to install the Quote Inserter plug in. They fixed the problems it had regarding losing post content if you tried to open / write a new post.

Joel complained about translating from Hebrew to English, I now have the reverse problem.

How do you (succinctly) say "Do (only) good" in Hebrew?

Gmail invites to anyone that makes it, I can't think of a pharse that fits.

A very interesting article regarding Evolution of Microsoft Security.

I'm reading about SQLite library¹ and thinking about using it in my applications instead of a full fledged database server (for the desktop applications, that is).
It has nice .Net interface, so that is not a problem.

Anyone has experiance with this?

¹ SQLite is a small C library that implements a self-contained, embeddable, zero-configuration SQL database engine

Why I do trust MSN Desktop Search?

Because MS is currently the only one that knows that their software (especially something as high profile as this) will be checked every which way by suspicious people that are attempting to find bugs / back doors / evil messages from Satan, etc.

I tried Google Desktop Search, it was nice, but it didn't use the rich client abilities that my desktop has to offer.
Copernic Desktop Search took way too many system resources, and was a bit too intrusive when I used it.

MSN Destkop Search isn't perfect, I'm using it for a couple of minutes and I've discovered three bugs (two about multi monitor setups, and one about Hebrew file names).

But I wouldn't rule anything out because MS wrote it, or because it's beta. Right now I've plenty of beta software on my computer that I'm using daily (FireFox until it reached 1.0, .Net 2, SQL Server Express, TestDriven.Net {didn't update it yet}, MbUnit, NAnt, etc)

So far, I'm reserving judgement on MSN Desktop Search, I'll try it and then decide. I don't like this blind dismissal, it's not a good bussiness practice.

Including this one, 194 posts.

Amazing :-)

I'll have a celebration on the 200^th post.

My ISP reminds me that I would need to renew my subscribtion soon, which mean that I've this blog for nearly a year.

Whow!

I want to know how many posts I've written, but dasBlog apperantly doesn't provide this option, here is how to discover it yourself:

Ftp to your server (or file manager or whatever) and get the file content/entryCache.xml from the blog directory.

Then go to the command line and navigate to where the file is and issue the following command:

type entryCache.xml | find "EntryIdCacheEntry" /c

It's so beautiful that it takes my breath away, and I didn't even got to do more then mildly exploring it yet (and didn't play Half Life 1).
