Found via Hessis weblog, the url2bmp program looked like a quite promising solution to my ongoing problem of how to reliably capture snapshots of websites for Blogwise (see example here).

Unfortunately it doesn’t get around Internet Explorer’s annoying popups and prompts for things like Japanese language support, that has been dogging me for ages. I’ve tried using the Mozilla/Firebird engine in a home-grown app a while ago but couldn’t get the DDI calls to work properly.

Pinch punch first of the month. It’s Oct 1

This month is going to be a good month. Blogwise will be celebrating its first birthday at the end of this month. It’s also extremely likely that this month will see the number of blogs top ten thousand, and the number of page impressions tip 100K. Woo!
