Grammar Checking

General

As many of you have noticed, I don’t have the best grammar, or even spelling, skills. They are actually not to bad if I slow down and take the time (Like for a report or some other ‘official’ documentation). But my blog post are normally spur of the moment thoughts, that I try to get out the door before they leave, and before anyone at work notices what I’ve done (like this one :/).

I am now looking for ideas that would help out with that. I know one is to just take my time and re-read what I write .. but I really hate doing that. So now I am looking for something else. Firefox does basic spell checking, but nothing in the grammar arena. Open Office as the ability to grammar check, but I don’t know if it is any good or not. And it doesn’t play nicely with b2evo, at least as far as I know.

I’ve been thinking of moving to WordPress, just so I have that export capability, and I might just use it … but then again I might not. I am defiantly holding off until v2.7 is stabilized, it is pretty damn cool looking. I always try to use apps that are against the grain, even if they don’t carry the same feature load, I use them because they work and most of the time they have one or two things the other one doesn’t. With b2evo, that is about to past, with v2.7 of WordPress the admin interface is cleaned up a lot, and I just might have to start using it, as it now provides other features that I am starting to require.

If anybody is out there reading this, do you have any ideas on how to better Spell / Grammar check my blog postings.

    Hi Ryan

    In about 2 week we will release Version 1.1 of Razuna. It will feature a embedded database and setup will take about 2 minutes.

    So far the reviews are all good and I think you will like it.

    Just get back to me if you need any help.

    Kind Regards,
    Nitai

    Hi Ryan,

    Read that you have been looking at OpenEdit DAM, always appreciate that!

    Our programmers have been busy with developing additional features for release very soon, including XMP/XML support and improved Versioning.

    Let me know if you have any questions or feel free to post in our User forum.

    Best Regards,

    Have you looked at Resource Space by Montala?
    I’ve just started looking at open source DAM software and they where the first one I found. Just wondering if you had any experience with it or eliminated it as a choice right off the bat?

    Actually I have, and I really liked it. It is the one we ended up implementing. Very sharp and easy to use.

    Thanks for the response. I’m about to try installing it on our dev server so I’m glad to hear it’s easy to use.

    Probably a bit late, but I found this:

    Hi!
    Sorry for going a little off topic here, but I thought you might find this interesting if you’re still looking for a new smartphone: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20090108-palm-launches-new-handset-pre-operating-system-at-ces.html

    Is there any open source DAM that was written in .net platform such as c# or vb.net.

    I appreciate if any one found the similar one.

    thanks!
