Microsoft have confirmed they plan on using the Word rendering engine to display HTML emails in Outlook 2010.
I have spent many an hour in the past trying to create HTML emails to do what I want and this is just going to make things worse!
Outlook 2010 is still in beta and Microsoft wants your feedback. It’s time to rally together and encourage Microsoft to embrace web standards before it’s too late.
If you’re like me, head over to fixoutlook.org and let Microsoft know!

My latest copy of White Dwarf magazine came through the door the other day and I’ve just realised I didn’t do a review of last month’s 354! Well, here’s this month’s offering…
White Dwarf 355
This month we have the long awaited release of Planetstrike, and with it a bunch of really nice scenery pieces. Up there with the 40 ruined buildings released with Apocalypse, these new pieces have to be some of the best things Games Workshop have produced in a long time.
Games Workshop’s brush range is being revamped too, and there is 4 pages telling us all about them. It’s all well and good, but all I can see is that they’ve made them black and added 2 brush types. The beginning of the article states that this isn’t the case, but they don’t go on to justify it. They are made by hand as they always have, by the same people they always have, and they’ve changed the drybrush bristle type to make it better. What I really want to know is whether the other brushes have been improved? I suppose if I want to find out I’ll have to shell out some pennies…
It’s also time for another ‘Eavy Metal painting competition and as per usual with some really great results! Each painting an Empire wizard from a different school of magic there are some really nice paint jobs on show. The winner yet again is Darren Latham, however looking through myself Joe Tomaszewski’s Gold Wizard wins it for me, the NMM and light sourcing make it stand out from the rest. A close second for me would be Martin Footit’s Amethyst Wizard as the freehand on the book is amazing.
As for the rest of the issue, there’s the usual battle report, this time showing off Planetstrike. Also an article on Empire tactics. My interests are all in the hobby side though as you can probably guess ;).
Over the last few days I’ve been creating a number of tutorial videos using CamTasia (which I’ve fallen in love with).
Something has to be done with my presentation technique however! Or maybe just getting the words out. I spent an hour earlier today recording audio for a video with no results – must try harder!
My problem was probably not having a proper script, tomorrow I’ll have to have another go, write some scripts and get them done!
The series of videos will be showcasing some of the great things inside the Clear Content system, showing how easy it is to create a website with the software. The intention is for them to give users of the system a better understanding of how things work, while giving new visitors an overview at the same time.
Last night I went to see the new Transformers Movie. Almost 3 hours sat in a cinema but boy was it worth it!
I was never a massive Transformers fan as a kid, and before the first movie I’ll admit I didn’t really know anything about it, as anything I did watch when I was young had long been forgotten.
I won’t bore you with loads of details, just a great movie. Special Effects were spectacular, and there’s more fight sequences between massive robots than you can shake a stick at. Add to that Megan Fox and you’ve got one good movie in my opinion ;).
Transformers 2 Revenge of the Fallen
It’s been a few days so I thought I’d post up about my progress. Last update I had my first site ready to launch – unfortunately it is still in this “Ready to Launch” state. I’m currently waiting for an affiliate network to review my application, which seems to be taking a while. If it doesn’t work out due to traffic or similar I’ll have to have a quick rethink on how the site works.
As soon as it’s live I’ll be posting guides on how it was made, how I’m marketing it, how I’m monetizing it and performance updates.
