This is what happens when you drop your prized PSP in the bath, it gets nice and wet !!! and then has to be taken apart. At least it’s working again but check out the really nice water marks on the lcd. Think I’ll be checking out MR Modchips for a new screen 🙁 That will teach me to go near a bath with an armfull of gadgets, luckily my pocket pc escaped !

Movies ‘R’ Us

Following on from my dabbling with YouTube I wondered just how difficult it was to host your own flash movies. After installing the flvplayer plugin for WordPress, converting some existing movies using Super here are the results;

I may be inspired to post up some more in the future (bandwidth and space permitting) so keep an eye on the Movies link at the top of the page. As an aside I just up’d my hosting account with Freepgs and now get 600mb of space + 12Gb of bandwidth per day for a one off fee of $16 (yes thats a one off life time fee !!)

Windows Live Writer Beta Released

Despite my usual (probably misplaced) dislike of all things Microsoft I decided to try out Windows Live Writer after some good initial reviews. It seems to work really well with WordPress and despite being a Beta I haven’t had any issues as yet stability wise. It’s just a really nice and simple tool to edit and post to your blog in a full WYSIWYG way. I have to admit its easier to use than the inbuilt WordPress offering however time will tell this being the second post using the tool.

There is a new blog from the developers of Windows Live Writer from which you can download the Beta version here

I think maybe I’m changing too much at once, replacing  MS outlook at home, switching to tablet PC and now switching my blog editor !
