After I imported my Lightroom 1 catalog into Lightroom 2, none of the Keyword Tag Options were set.
I started going through the keywords one-by-one and checking the settings (I only had a handful of keywords related to workflow that I didn’t export) but I quickly realized that I would never get through this with over [...]
Barack Obama inspires me to be a better man. He reminds me that complaining is easy while action shows character. Cynicism is an easy way to hide. Optimism requires strength. But optimism alone is impotent: power comes from working to turn hope into reality.
I was a little boy the last time a president inspired me. [...]
I have been playing around with IE8 Beta 2 since it was released. What were "Activities" in Beta 1 are now "Accelerators." Tim Heuer created one that shortens URLs with TinyURL. Using his example, I was able to build one for bit.ly in less than five minutes:

Working with the Windows clipboard in managed code is both easy and hard. It’s easy because all you need to do in order to put a bit of text on the clipboard is this:
Clipboard.SetText("Put this on the clipboard");
It’s hard because you can’t just do something like this in order to get formatted text:
Clipboard.SetHtml(‘<a href="http://twwilliams.com/>A link</a>"’);
The [...]
My laptop gets confused when it goes in or comes out of the docking station and always picks the wrong resolution for the monitor. Part of this might be due to a difference in aspect ratios: the laptop screen is a widescreen model (width:height is 4:3) while the monitor connected to the docking station is [...]
