Nanowrimo progression after nine days at it

[caption id=“attachment_806” align=“aligncenter” width=“499” caption=“the progression”][/caption] I’m not doing too badly. I’m 1000 words ahead of the minimum per day if you take the 1667 word per day rule seriously. Might work up to 20,000 tonight. I’m just 4000 away…

Nanowrimo

mousewords - Nov 0, 2008 That’s the cool part–writing without worrying about editing. Makes it very fun. :-) I look forward to seeing your story!

Nanowrimo

This month I’m trying something different. It’s Nanowrimo. It’s a strange word for the unitiated but it’s short for National novel writing month. It’s the time of the year when people around the world set themselves the goal of writing 50,000 words without proofreading. The idea is to produce as much writing as possible during this month. It’s next time that the challenge of editing takes place.

Freemind - Mindmapping

It’s easy to get ideas but it’s harder to organise them and that’s where mind mapping software like Freemind comes in. It’s an easy to use open source solution that allows to create and share mind maps. I originally came across it when experimenting with it’s ipod touch and iphone counterpart, Ibluesky. It’s intuitive, allows for easy export for website integration, image and e-mail to desktops for further work.

The macbook and macbook pro - thoughts on the touchpad.

Today I went to try the new macbook pro and macbooks and I found that I prefered the macbook to the other device. I like that the keyboard is there and there’s nothing to the side. it’s a better feeling machine for when you move around. The biggest difference between these two machines and older models is the touchpad interface. Rather than have a seperate button and tactile area both are integrated.

Testing flickr integration

It’s no longer the time of year to see this. I’m just playing with flickr integration into the blog, to see the result.

Phreadz

Phreadz is a multimedia sharing site from the comfort of where you’re sitting right now. It allows for the sharing of multimedia files straight from your mobile phone to a website where each media content is added to a thread, hence the name phreadz. There is a simple idea behind this site. Conversations are now more and more multimedia rich. Some people converse via video as on seesmic and others converse on the topic of photographs, for example Flickrs.
