You’ll be pleased to know that we got the battery cover off the Fire TV Stick remote. Got Netflix and iPlayer installed, watched Person of Interest.
In the end we just had to be persistent. And firm.
It would be weird if Tony Blair turned out to be the hero of the Brexit hour. But we need all the support we can get.
Just saw this winter’s first flurry of snow. Well, hardly flurry: just a few flakes drifting past the window. And it’s stopped now.
I’m glad Scrivener 3 is out, but could they have picked a worse month for it? The end of November, when a crazy percentage of users are crazily last-minute-typing into the app.
Not a good time to upgrade.
On the other hand, when November is over we can reward ourselves.
Just realising that when the Star Trek: Discovery theme music starts, I now want someone to say “Space: the final frontier…”
Just saw a guy cycling along, no hands, hands in pockets. Geez, get some gloves, mon, you’re making us all terrified.
23,600 words in 15 days. I’m on course to make the 50,000. And to finish my novel. If I do that, I may not go to the full 50,000.
I also finished reading, a year and eleven days after I bought it, Alan Moore’s Jerusalem. Which was almost as much of a challenge.
Turned out the missing dates was a setting of the theme. Dates are back.
I wouldn’t mind if it showed the time, too, but dates are a bare minimum.
The Ramones were the first band I saw when I came to London, and I’ve seen them several other times. I’ve just been listening to a couple of early albums, and they’re still so good. Now sad that I’ll never see them live again.
Go and see bands live when you can.
12,120 words so far. And a sure sign that I’m getting close to finishing this novel: today I started thinking about what I’ll write next. The total word count is 85,700. I didn’t start a new one this month.
If FaceID comes to the Mac, with its attention detection, will we ever get what I’ve always wanted: “Focus Follows View”? Keystrokes should affect the window I’m looking at, not the one I last clicked in. Would be great.
1200 words today. I’m slipping back a bit. At this rate I’ll finish on 3rd December, it tells me. Still, I’m ahead of anywhere I’ve been before at this time in the month.
This Joe Ricketts seems like a right bampot: shutting down publications just because the workers join a union.
The trouble with NaNoWriMo is obsessing over your word count. As I write, I’m constantly checking that figure.
It’s not a big trouble.
Carrot Weather is hooked into the news today.
