Today, I installed the Social Bookmarking Tool for WLW by Rahul Soni. So I am just starting to add social bookmark links on my future blog entries. 

After installing the tool you have to restart Windows Live Writer. Then you'll see a additional option in the insert pane on the right side of WLW.

After publishing your entry, you have to copy the link as well as the title of your blog entry and insert it into the Social Bookmarking Tool dialog. That's all, just publish the tool again.

Serenity is one of the few science fiction movies available right now on HD-DVD (in Germany). Furthermore, Firefly the series around the spaceship seem to be available on DVD as well. However, today I just surfed on Universal HD's Firefly page were they announce to show Firefly in TV in HD - which could mean that the series could be available on HD-DVD soon... so I'll wait with the order.

I just spend some minutes this evening updating the LibraryThing Widget CSS styles.

The DIV classes used by LibraryThing are as follows:

.LTwrapper
.LTheader
.LTitem 
.LTprovided

LTwrapper is for the whole widget, LTheader only for the "Random books I have" line, Ltitem for each book and finally .LTprovided for the footer "powered by LibraryThing".

However, to get some more flexibility in the layout you should make usage of the cascading property in CSS and define the .LTitem img class to position the images. It could look like the following then:

.LTitem img
{
  float: right;
  margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px;
}

Again, I start writing a new paper and again I realize how hard it is to stair for hours on an empty sheet of paper respectively an empty screen. Therefore, I am glad about Simon Peyton Jones hints about "How to write a good research paper". Thanks to Simon you always have a good start...

Yesterday, I discovered the images related to your Windows Mobile device shown in Windows Mobile Device Center. Today, I found another surprising feature: Whilst selecting my mobile device in Explorer the image of the corresponding  device appeared on the Explorer. Nice feature.

It looks like Microsoft heads to submit its Shared Source Licence to the OSI. If the Shared Source License satisfies the of the Open Source definition Microsoft will become a effective member of the Open Source community. After CodePlex, this seems to be the right step to satisfy the needs of the the community. Therefore, Microsoft release a new Open Source related webpage including a feed [rss].

Rich Williams, leading the Computational Ecology group out of our team at Microsoft Research Cambridge gave an interview for Channel9. So go for it and watch the video. Rich is a bright person and he brings up tons of cool projects we develop new tools for.
