Weeks and Weeks of Geek

By on July 8, 2010 in How-To Geek, Writing

I haven’t added my recent articles to Techinch lately, so here’s a whole load of them.  I’m trying to figure out a better way to share links; I would like to do Tumblr-style link posts, and need to see if I can hack that into my theme.  Anyhow, for now, here’s everything I’ve written since my last How-to Geek update:

Wow, that was a lot, and covered just about every spectrum of tech :) . I’m going to try posting daily updates or so, but we’ll have to see. At any rate, enjoy!

Did Hotmail get a new Favicon?

By on October 27, 2009 in Techinch

While adding a new account to my Hotmail account this morning, I noticed something new in the address bar … Hotmail was using a favicon that looked just like Windows Live Mail desktop’s icon!

The main Hotmail inbox page still has the old XP-style Windows logo as its favicon, but it’s interesting to see the new Live Mail icon in the settings pages.  Could this point towards changes in preparation for Windows Live Wave 4?  If so, can someone please tell Microsoft that I’d really like Hotmail to group messages by conversation like Outlook 2010 does?  I know Outlook + Hotmail = Better Together, but I’d really like that feature in Hotmail (and in Live Mail desktop too, by the way :) ).
