New Skin, thanks to Jesse...
Jesse Ezell came up with a fairly clever way to add new styles to the .NET Weblogs without having access to the source code, by dint of a bit of javascript inserted in the news section that removes the stylesheets selected in configuration, and replaces it with a stylesheet specified by URL. Jesse's post on the subject includes instructions (in the comments) on how to take advantage of this technique.

Transferring properties to a thumbnail image
A while back, I created a simple console app for thumbnailing photos for posting on my family Web site. The application simply asks for a directory and a reduction percentage, then looks for any images in the directory provided and reduces them by the requested percentage.

via Chris Sells: MSDN's Dr. GUI, is now blogging. So I gotta figure out how that works. Dr. GUI is like a compilation of a bunch of MSDN folks, right? So who gets to do the blog? Is it a free for all? Well, I'm sure it will be fun, informative and full of all the silly puns we have become used to!

More on running as non-admin
As folks who follow my blog already know, I've been trying to set a good example by running my main computer on a day-to-day basis with a plain vanilla user account, with no administrative privileges, in order to reduce the risk of providing elevated privileges to malicious code I might somehow accidentally run, as well as to ensure that any code I write installs and executes without requiring elevated privileges.

Now running w.bloggar from non-admin account
All it took was copying the w.bloggar install directory to a directory in which the non-admin account has permissions.

After all, you get what you pay for
