metaWeblog API I was trying to find out why NNW is much faster at populating the recent posts list than WinBlog, I see that NNW uses a metaWeblog.getRecentPosts call whereas WinBlog does blogger.getRecentPosts followed by metaWeblog.getPost for each post. I didn't even know there was a metaWeblog.getRecentPosts, why isn't this doc'd on the MetaWeblog API page ?. Are Evan and Dave having some perverse competition to see who can have the most under-specified spec spread across a bunch of random pages ??

OS X Wow, OSX really really doesn't like it when you wake it up with network shares not being available that were mounted when it went to sleep.

Word's Spell Checker From .NET Found this sample, seems to work :) Now about drawing those squiggly lines...

WTF ? Can't upstream because "Can't find a sub-table named "9283"." Huh ???

Spell Checker Thanks to Richard for the spell checker pointer. I'm not sure I want to be round tripping to some external service for spell checking, but I'll give it a go. Update It's broken, and not going to be fixed
