October 31, 2005COR13 Curse of the Missing TextUnlucky 13... Shouldn't be working on Halloween's Eve anyway, not even to sort out some minor details. My file has only partly been converted to RTF; by that I mean that most of it is missing. I worked on that...Read this update October 30, 2005COR 12: The Final SetupThis seems to be it. My Palm has achieved indepndence from the desktop and I am ready to hit the road. Here is the final setup:...Read this update October 29, 2005Missing HedgehogThere's no sign of Sonic. Sure, the catfood has disappeared, but the neighbourhood cat looked a bit smug in the morning and there's no telling who the lucky recipient was. You can smell the stuff from two blocks away; there'd...Read this update October 27, 2005Prickly VisitorThis morning, when I pulled back the heavy curtains from the double-glazed sliding doors facing the garden, I saw a grey, blurry blob moving alongside the wall; quite slowly but with an implied sense of urgency. I squinted: it could...Read this update October 25, 2005Jabs!Gaaaa...I'm sitting in the surgery, waiting for a blood test. I have just handed over 50 quid for a rabies vaccination and my arm is still sore from yesterday's jabs. The nurse had a glint in her eyes as she...Read this update October 24, 2005COR 11I have a Windoze box! Yeah, I know. Bought at an auction for 140 quid. It has all of 128MB RAM, but I have just (for the first time ever) copied and pasted the entire entry in one go! It...Read this update Posted by Denni on October 24, 2005 03:04 PM
Category: October 22, 2005I'm fed up! (COR 10)So, the Palm backup card didn't work and it trashed what was once a beautiful system. The Wordsmith backup on my SD card comprises a trial version, which may be better than nothing. I paid for the whole hog, but...Read this update October 21, 2005COR 9: running around in circles, tearing out my hair9 days to go until start of NaNoWriMo; 1 month until I'm on the plane to Bangkok and I still don't have a working PDA....Read this update October 17, 2005Glorious AutumThis weekend the grey clouds lifted for two days of glorious sunshine, just in time for my sister and her squeeze to finally visit us. "Let's go for a walk," she beamed. Oh no! The heath is pleasant enough but...Read this update October 14, 2005Call me crazy, but...I have just signed up for the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo; I know, it's a stupid name) even though I'm flying out on the 21st rather than the 29th as originally planned. But, hey, by then I figure I'm...Read this update October 06, 2005Cursed Wednesday continued (COR 8)There are days when you should just give up. Go back to bed. Delegate where you can. Go to the pub. Any effort to make things better will only make them worse. Luckily, these days are few and far between,...Read this update October 05, 2005(COR7): Cursed WednesdayI really could scream. Nothing is going right today. I had to wait an entire week before John could find the time to use his Windoze laptop to hotsynch the latest version of WordSmith onto my Palm this morning, along...Read this update Ebay ripoff: join the club!For the last couple of days I woke up in a stinky mood. It isn't just the subdued, grey autum light which makes me unfailingly grumpy; it's when I remember the laptop. Don't—ever—buy a second-hand laptop on Ebay....Read this update October 02, 2005Flights booked (!)It always comes back to Ebookers. So why try anything else? But watch out: they tried to flog me a £180-odd travel insurance policy (for 86 days)! 29th November is sneaking into peak season; an earlier departure is cheaper. So...Read this update Flights booked (?)My heart is beating a staccato rhythm. Beads of sweat almost form on my forehead as I stare at the screen (it's a cold day). My fingers shake as they hover over the keyboard. They haven't done that in a...Read this update October 01, 2005General update (COR6)Yesterday I spent a little time with my Wordsmith manual, playing with the program, and I must say I'm hooked. WS offers all the usual word processor formatting options, but it is optimised for display on Palm's tiny screen (it...Read this update |
