More New Hardware

Is it that time already?

After playing through most of Crysis (more or less) at High settings, I finally hit a brick wall with the last level where the machine simply wasn’t up to the task of doing the boss fight. So, here it is, new hardware on top of the old shitty stuff. This ought to carry my computer along for another few years until I’m ready to go 64-bit multi-core.

Windows Live Writer Beta 2

Apparently back in June a new beta for Windows Live Writer was released that added the functionality to add/edit a WordPress blogs’ user-written static pages. So that’s good.

I’m writing this post using the Windows Live Writer beta and it seems to work pretty well. You have to enable the XML-RPC functionality for Wordpress to be able to use the software on it (basically chmod +x the xmlrpc.php file) but after that it works like a charm.

The only problem so far really is that Wordpress doesn’t let you edit any of your static “page” content through xmlrpc.php but maybe eventually they’ll do that.
