Reinstalling Windows, etc.

  • Taking the opportunity to do a clean Windows installation (i.e. old box died). Downside: reinstalling a bazillion apps & updates. #
  • Hmm. Firefox spellcheck underlines Hiro but is perfectly OK with Nakamura. #
  • Ah, a clean desktop! Only 2 icons: Recycle Bin and my rebuild to-do list. #
  • RT @rzazueta Also – PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE refrain from building sites all in Flash! Treat Flash like you treat images – enhancement. #sbbuzz #

A nice example of why spelling and grammar checkers (at least as they stand today) are not enough: In trust we Word. The article has more.

(Appropriately, it seems that WordPerfect’s grammar checker is considerably more effective than Word’s.)
