Over the last year I've been trying to put a little money away each paycheck in order to get myself one of those fancy new Netbook computers.
Oh I know what some people are already saying, it's exactly what my ex-wife says/said...why would you want one of those, just get a regular laptop, those things are so small.
Exactly! That's why I want it. I don't want a big laptop to carry around, granted laptops are far smaller and thinner than they used to be but for my purposes I don't need a laptop. I wouldn't be using it to watch movies on, I would be using it to write. I wouldn't want to load DVDs on it or CDs or anything like that. If I did I could just connect it to my desktop computer, transfer the files to the Netbook and then I'm off and running. Its small, it's simple, it's easy and portable, doesn't take up much room and isn't as unsightly trying to grab people's attention just so it can subtly say "look I'm using a fancy laptop because I'm obviously doing something so important I need to carry a big fat monitor around with me"
Now as far as my writing that's a goal of mine, to take it further and push it more. I plan on getting more involved in the online writing group I'm part of and really trying to push it as well as myself. I love the people in it and the founder of it is an excellent woman who really cares about all the people in the group. I feel bad that I've not given it the time it deserves in the last few months but personal life being what it is I felt it best to just stay away, not wanting to drag my personal demons into that place, though in a lot of ways the writing and group mentality is a good way to exorcise those demons (and lemme tell you they need a lot of exorcising, those lousy fat out of shape demons, not ever getting off the couch to change the channel).
So far the blog changes have been small, a new background and an shrinking of the page title. I want to fade the background color of this main box some so that the text is still looking separate from the background but at the same time the background is still slightly visible under the text. I was also looking and adding a picture to the header box as well to give it a more custom feel. I was considering adding-on Firebug to my Firefox so that I can really go to town with the custom on the blog as well as easily be able to steal and swipe code from other sites that have a good thing going for them (on the down side I would have to be careful that its actually cause if I try and hire Swiper the Fox to solve me swiping needs then it's going to turn into a giant clusterfuck with a small mexican girl and a booted monkey....its a shame that Swiper gets no respect, I would guess he'd actually have to be successful in stealing something though in order to get any respect).
Porn at 3am isn't as bad as you might think, it's kinda like a shot of coffee.
Peace,
