Office Live Workspace

I have [Windows Live](http://home.live.com/) account and, when I’ve read about new [Office Live](http://workspace.officelive.com/) offering, it got me exited and I went to try it out. What a cool idea: you install little add-in for office and, when you need to save a file, instead of your hard drive you save it in the cloud.

Strategy pattern

Do you use design patterns in your daily development? You probably should, and if you don't you might start with reading some books on the subject. I would suggest [one from Head First series](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596007124/codinghorror-20), although [not everybody](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000380.html) is a big fan of this book.

You've got Paint

When I first tried [Paint.net](http://www.getpaint.net) a year or so back, I wasn’t that much impressed. It looked a bit heavy for small feature set and fallen lightning years behind Photoshop. I tried to use it, but soon it ended up in the dusty corner of my toolbox.

A Shared Settings Store for BlogEngine.net

You might think that [BlogEngine](http://dotnetblogengine.net/) 1.3 was released yesterday, but It actually been a while and it looks like people like it and want more. New version is under constructions and part of it, that I'm responsible for, is a new shared storage model. The basic idea here is to be able to use Extension Manager as a storage provider for any type of extensions.

BBCode Enhancements

BBCode extension is a part of standard [BlogEngine](http://dotnetblogengine.net/) distribution and since 1.3 it has admin interface that you can use to add or delete codes. That is cool, what is not cool is that updated codes will not show in the comment form.
