I come across this mistake a lot.
"Its", is the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun form of the personal pronoun "it". "Its" means "belonging to it." For example, The cat licked its paw.
On the other hand, "it’s" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has".
Tell Me Why?: What’s the difference between the words its and it’s?

Open source keyword launcher Launchy grows up a little with a 2.0 release
Featured Windows Download: Launchy 2.0 Adds Polish, Easier Configuration
Launchy is one of my favorite applications. It makes my Windows machine a little more like Mac.
My other favorite is Texter, a Windows alias tool, much more powerful than Unix’s alias.
In vim, comments are set with the
set comments command.
To make vim recognize Autohotkey’s ; comment, add this :
set comments+=:;
to the Autohotkey’s syntax file.
Mine is in a autohotkey.vim file.
Google Blogger does not have storage limits on blogs, even if you post pictures.
With WLW, you can post pictures to Google Blogger although Blogger does not provide an API for uploading pictures. WLW does this by posting the picture to your picasa account. You can confirm this by checking your picasa account, the pictures are in a an album called Windows Live Writer.
What is not immediately evident is that picasa has a storage quota and when you include pictures in your posts with WLW, your picture uses part of the storage quota.
What this means is that although Google Blogger has unlimited storage, you could run out of space for pictures one day, when you use up your picasa storage quota.
So, be careful that you do not use up your picasa storage quota with you WLW blogger posts.
When I first saw Apple’s Time Machine video last week, I was bowled over. It was very cool.
But after the awe wore off, I realize that it could just be SVN with cool graphics.
I already do Time Machine stuff on my notebook, with svn, just with less ‘cool’.
Why am I not switching yet ?
Several reason:
1. I like these windows software:
1. Texter
2. A 1-button mouse ?
3. I work with the command line a lot, and Apple is way cool but when it comes to work and command line, there is no extra cool factor there.
For now, I will just wish my notebook looks like the Macintosh.
