WordPress Spell Checker?

Is there a good spell check plug-in for WordPress?  I’ve been looking for one, but have only run across two – one of which states that it “doesn’t play well with WordPress 2”.  Does anyone know of a good spell checker for WordPress?

If I was any good at programing, I’d try my hand at creating one as it seems that there is a shortage of them!

Pocket PC Works!

Well, this is my first attempt to post frorm rry my iPaq, and I’m pleasentty pleasently surprised to find that WordPress works well with the older uerspon version of Pocket Internet Explorer.

Now lets hit the publish button and see what happens.

Update: It does work well – of course I was using “Transcriber” and made a few mistakes that I had to come back to correct. 🙂

Kent gets it!

Kent Newsome posted here on the linking & traffic discussion going on in the blogosphere.  He really came to some good conclusions – at least ones that I agree with.  Traffic and linking is important to a blogger, for most of us it may not be the main reason, but it is a reason.  We all post, link & comment as a way to participate in the blogosphere, to multiple ongoing conversations.

While we may not admit it easily, we do seek traffic or links as a means of acceptance of sorts.  It is important to a blogger, as it is the main way we know we are getting heard, that our opinion is meaningful.  Of course, most of us also have the perspective that we don’t need the traffic, that we don’t need any links.  But I think that would limit the interest of any blog – having no other inputs or views brought to the conversation.
Anyway, check out Kent’s post – its a very interesting perspective.

What do I do?

So some people may ask what I do… In short I’m something of a misfit in corporate IT departments in that I have never settled on one specialty in IT over another. I’ve worked on most technology platforms that have surfaced in the past 25 years to one degree or another, liking most & hating some few. Some have been in-depth, some I’ve barely scratched the surface on.

My current corporate title is “Sr. Client Technologies Analyst”, but thats a cover up for saying I look at everything and figure out how to integrate whats best for the company at a given time. Of course that time may be in the future and not now. I keep thinking it means “don’t know what I want to be when I grow up” as well.

Its interesting how after spending 15 short years in IT that I’ve not found a specific specialty niche, instead, the niche is still what it has always been for me – Information Technology as a whole. I won’t and can’t pretend to be a specialist in any one aspect from technical to managment, from financial to administrative, but that is what I am eventually responsible to understand. When a technology comes along, how will it fit into the company/corporate culture of the moment or future – its really a crystal ball experience.

Whatever comes along next, it’ll still inspire, thrill, frustrate, and reinforce my notion that IT crosses all business boundaries, social boundaries, both good and bad. In short – I’m one of those old-fashioned, original Geeks that is all about technology.
