Scrotal computing

by Dennis Howlett on May 1, 2007

Tomorrow (or today – depending on your time zone), I’ll be kissing goodbye to Live Writer and getting back onto a Mac. Three Blue Screen’s of Death and innumerable FeedDemon crashes later – I will be glad.

So it was with some amusement that on running LivewWriter’s spellcheck I find that whomever created the dictionary search might have a genitally fixated issue of some kind. (I am trained in abnormal psychology so stick with me on this one.)

On checking ’scoial,’ it found ’scrotal’ before ’social.’ I’m sure there is logic there, something to do with the ’sc’ combination. It reminds me why context is so important.

Can you imagine someone credibly spouting on about ’scrotal computing’ as opposed to ’social computing?’

  • I really wouldn't miss the OS, crashes etc. - but despite the niceness of ecto, Windows Live Writer still works better... it seems to fulfil the "ease of use" and "simple to get started" promise of the Mac more than the Mac apps do, in fact :-(
