Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:27:57 GMT

Now, after a recommendation from a friend, I am giving Windows Live Writer a shot. This blog post is a recursive review of my experience writing this blog post in Windows Live Writer.

I'd like the idea of this question.

In programming, clever != smart.

You ever have one of those days where you think you are the smartest man in the world and the best programmer at your place of work? Then some clever kid comes along and does something that speeds up your code by a few seconds/minutes? Ease your self. Just because that person just solved your problem, doesn't mean they are smart.
