… sitting at home with a laptop with a failed hard drive that doesn’t work.
And am I downhearted? No!!!!
Because I have another laptop with half a screen and half a keyboard to keep me going. And this just shows the beauty of a little program like Note Tab, where you can create your own library of regularly-used text and click on the library entry with the mouse to insert it in the text that you are writing.
So once you have set up your own alphabet library, using copy-paste from work that you have done before, you can type all kinds of lengthy documents using just a mouse (and if your mouse packs up, you can plug in an external one).
As for the cracked screen, then an old external screen from a desktop machine works fine, although by manoeuvring your work around to good bits of the screen, even that is not essential. And that’s how I’m working even as we speak
So you see, we’re still here and still churning out the rubbish. It’ll take more than a mere damaged computer to put a stop to me.
What did however put a stop to me was the phone, so at least I know that that is now working again. Terry is stuck for a cement mixer and seeing as how the one that I have is his old one, he wanted to know if he could borrow it. Well, I’m not likely to be using it for quite a while yet, so he came round to pick it up and we had quite a chat.
Then I went back and cracked on with the work.
And until about midnight, that’s exactly what I did too. All of the blog is now up-to-date and tomorrow, once I’ve taken Caliburn for his annual check-up, I’ll start on the radio programmes.
Shame that I lost them in my hard-drive crash, but there you go.
