One minute you're sitting on a park bench

It's funny how the excitement of "stuff" diminishes with time. I'm reminded of the post Christmas period - so much excitement as toys and gifts are ripped open! Then a few weeks later, the same things are left lying around unused.
There are so many things in life that have amazing [...]

Twitter – The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

few days ago I read a post by one of my online mentors, Seth Godin, about Twitter.  I believe he is right in that by being free Twitter is potentially setting up for some major challenges.  I see no problem with Twitter offering different levels of use â€" free for people who want to [...]Read More...

Make money doing what you love

credit: Mademoiselle♥Ayumi   Make money doing what you love. Is this a pipe-dream or an achievable goal? Years ago I was asked the question “if you could do anything at all and not worry about the money, what would you do?” I’ve revisited this question many times in my life. [...] Related posts:

Windows Live Messenger 9 and Personal Status Messages

Hi,

I just recently upgraded to Windows Live Messenger 2009. I was using WLM 8 and I had a neat plugin that automatically updated my personal status message with my twitter account.

I was sad to learn however that his plugin does not work with WLM 9. So I borrowed a bit of code from Fanatic.net modified it a bit and compiled it.

Now I have a simple command line program that can set the personal status messages with WLM 2009.

It is available here -> WLM.ZIP free for use by anyone.

Note: The actual executable file is in the "DEBUG" directory.

To Use:

Run: wlmsetpsm.exe "My New Message"

Where "My New Message" is the text you want to appear in the status message (without quotes)

Hope you find it useful.
