WS, Blogger, and more photos...

Blogger's automation tools--- including a kind of robo-blog, where you preload blog items and tell Blogger to dole them out one per day--- are pretty good. But like most of Blogger, the UI is clumsy and unrefined. Add in operator fatigue (and a d'oh moment), and you get things like yesterday's double post. Ah well.

The second post was supposed to be a message from the Department of Shameless Self-Promotion; a heads up about a new "LangaList Plus" column posted at WindowsSecrets.Com. It covers:

1. In reinstalling any operating system, is it better to data-wipe the hard drive than to simply delete the previous OS?
2. Update Windows without using Windows Update
3. Repair a broken Help system
4. Fix scratched LCD screens

You can also rate the content (there's a poll at the end) to let me know how I'm doing. And you can use the "contact" info there to send in questions you might like me to try answering in future columns.

Yes, it's by subscription, but there's no set fee. You pay only what you think the content is worth; whatever you pay that one time gets you access for an entire year.

Your support there helps me keep the lights lit here. :-)

Finally, I'm working on the last batch of photos. There's a bit more of a narrative to the long ride home from Florida. For one thing, my heated vest failed. For another, the wind chill on the moving motorcycle dipped to about 0F (-17C) at dawn on Tuesday. In all, I had about 12 hours of bone-chilling cold during the ride.

It made things somewhat more interesting than anticipated.

I'll tell you all about in in a day or two. :-)
