Bing Maps just released a new (beta) way of exploring maps. It allows you to walk and look around ‘inside’ the map. With Sophie sitting next to me on the couch we took a walk around Fenway Park.

Today I wanted to provide some feedback on a cool product (Live Mesh) I’ve been beta testing. I clicked the feedback link and saw this:

I guess I’ll have to learn Japanese

My suggestion is:

I'd like to be able to temporarily take a folder offline. I imagine being able to right click on a Mesh Folder and choose from being offline for X amount of minutes or X hours.

Scenario:
As a developer I share my sources folder across multiple machines. Every recompile in Visual Studio leads to files getting synced. I don't need them to be synced until I'm done for the day/morning/afternoon.

I imagine this feature appeals to anyone who shares a folder with high frequent changes.

I just came across a nice add-on for Windows Live Writer which allows you to paste colorized source from Visual Studio.

We (the Maine Microsoft Certification Study Group) has been using Windows Live Groups as our virtual place to hang out. Out weekly meeting is posted on the group calendar, but the times kept showing up wrong on the overview page. As it turns out (thanks to Winston Natoli) there are three places where you can set the timezone:

Group Time Zone
- <Select Group or Access via Group Url>/ Options / Group Options/ General
Calendar Time Zone
<calendar.live.com>/ Options/ More Options / Time Zone
Live ID
<account.live.com>/ Registered Information/ Home Location/ Time Zone

After setting all of them to EST I’m now getting the right information.
