I've probably asked this before, but things move on...

Is there a Windows LJ client that is palpably better than using the web interface?

Thankyouverymuch.

Seeing how Windows Live Writer and Livejournal work together.

 

From an Apple PR release about Aperture 1.5:

An innovative new export API plug-in architecture in Aperture 1.5 allows third party developers to tap into the expanding Aperture user community with plug-ins that seamlessly connect Aperture’s workflow to complementary applications and services. Plug-ins from industry leading companies, including Getty Images, iStockphoto, Pictage, Flickr, PhotoShelter, DigitalFusion, Soundslides and Connected Flow, will be demonstrated at photokina 2006.

Looks like the reasons behindfraserspeirs's decision to go to photokina have become clearer. Congratulations are clearly in order.

I love it when software works well.

For example, I'm working remotely in Suffolk while keeping a weather eye on Mum right now. My work phone is redirected to my Skype account.

Now, when I answer an incoming call, the system automatically pauses iTunes while I have the conversation, and then unpauses when I'm done. It's such a little thing, but it makes life so comfortable.
