Testing the new Windows Live Writer

What's really nice about it is the fact that the WYSIWIG aspect of the tool seems to work really well. Now, let me try to do the following:

1. Insert a Map:

2. Insert a Video:

<\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object><\/div>";" alt="">

I did this entire blog without ever touching a line of HTML. Pretty impressive so far, I must say.

UPDATE:

Here's what the code looked like when I pulled it up in my previous blog editor:

Can't say I am impressed.

One in a million indeed

How about Math on a Friday?

[via Mental Math Shortcuts]

a% of b = b% of a

It’s not immediately clear, but it’s true: a% of b = a/100 * b, which is the same as b% of a (b/100 * a).
What’s 16% of 25? The same as 25% of 16: 4
What’s 43% of 200? Same as 200% of 43: 86.

Can't say I thought of that? Come to think of it, I can tell you what 200% of 43 is of the top of my head, but not 43% of 200!!

Came across this quote in a colleague's signature. Could not help but instinctively nod my head in agreement.

The Time is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6

Late tonight -- specifically, 123 seconds after 1:00 a.m. -- the time and date, for the first time in all of humanity, will be 01:02:03 04/05/06...this moment will never come again.

Interesting!

ASCII Magic..:-)

If you're not ASCII-blind, try opening this site in Firefox (or any browser that opens gzipped content automagically) and you will know who the character shown above is Here's a hint.

Oh, and in case you're a Star Wars fan, try this command from your favorite DOS (or Unix) shell:

So, sit back, grap some popcorn and E-N-J-O-Y
