Rethinking Ink

By Curtis on June 25, 2008 9:48 PM | | Comments (0)

The ink thing didn't go so smoothly at first. For some reason, I couldn't get Windows Live Writer to write the correct path to the MovableType asset that it created. I had to login to the MT administration page for the first time in several days to correct the problem. I believe there was a configuration problem in WLW for the blog account itself, but I have fixed that problem now Smile. I'm back to doing FTP upload for my images, since I prefer that method locally anyway. Its amazing the number of things WLW will do for me without me having to think about them. That whole image resizing thing is easier now that it will do it for me from files and then post the files to the correct folder on the server. Only thing I am not too happy about is the way it names stuff. The previous blog has a file called cb4a7aaeea24_1298C\Ink258377682672.png stored in it. Very obnoxious, but in most cases it gives me folder names that are manageable and make sense.

Didn't mean to tangent about the wonders of Windows Live Writer, back to Ink Blogging. I have no clue how I'm going to use it, but it now works correctly and I am a little excited about having it ready. dancing-banana

 

Anyone got any ideas on what I should do with this ability? How would you use an ink blog?

Ink Blogging

By Curtis on June 25, 2008 9:14 PM | | Comments (0)

I have been playing with Windows Live Writer, the "Ink Blog" plugin for Tablet PC and my Addesso CyberTablet. I have been unable to use my tablet effectively in Windows XP because Windows XP "Professional" lacks the ability to understand a pen input device natively, but Vista Business on the other hand, knows how to handle it well. I think this is the first time I have truely felt like Vista did anything better than XP. All hope isn't lost, Vista does have some good traits. My only complaint is that there are way too many layers of software at work to make this work. Windows Vista for driver control, the Adesso driver for input recognition, "InkBlog" for capturing the ink, and WLW for making the InkBlog data useful.
