Microsoft’s OneDrive isn’t perfect yet. The latest strangeness? Double-pinning and sometimes triple-pinning. It started happening a few days ago, and it started happening on all four PCs (both desktops and both laptops) on the same day. The url under each filename is slightly different, but it points to the same file. I can open one, […]

A final look at Office 365
It’s been six months since I bought Office 365. Time goes so fast. Only another six months to renewal, which was always the bad part about the whole deal, but I knew that when I started, so it’s not really the bad part, just the choice I made. It’s a good time to look back […]

A tick in the box for Office 365
I finally caved in and bought an ultrabook laptop. My not-so-little netbook that I shopped so hard for weighed in at a whopping 4.1kg, which is a fair weight to carry around in your handbag. My new PC weighs in at 0.87kg and yes, it fits into my handbag. I’m loving how light it is. […]
I’ve been using Office 365 a while now. Here are my cool and not-so-cool features. They’re mostly simple things. It’s weird how the simple things make a big difference. Some of these features may already have existed, I just didn’t know about them. Cool Word—how long have I been writing this novel? Word tells you […]

Office 365
My netbook died the other day, almost four years to the day that I bought it. Writing-wise, it’s one of the best purchases I ever made, second only in usefulness to Microsoft Word. Because I write on two PCs (the netbook and the desktop), and I co-write with another writer who also uses two PCs, […]
What’s the difference between Office 365 and Office 2013? Or rephrased, should you buy or rent? A problem I have with Microsoft is that they have great information available but half the time you don’t know it’s there, and even when you do know, you don’t understand what they’re saying until you’ve worked it out […]
I failed the Apple quiz. But then, I’m not really an Apple fan, although I do like the iPad as an eReader. I’m a Microsoft user from way back. Sometimes I think I’m the only person in the world who likes their products, but Word is still my favourite word processor by a long way. […]

How our writing changes over time
We’re getting toward the end of the draft on LINESMAN book 2. I’m rewriting an action scene, Sherylyn’s finding and deleting unnecessary words. Right now, she’s checking ‘too’ and ‘but’. When I look at the word count, the manuscript is four hundred words less than it was when we started. And I’m adding words. That’s […]
Email newsletters I don’t know about you, but I get lots of email newsletters. Junk mail from Barnes and Noble and Amazon and some smaller booksellers I buy from, newsletters from the various writing groups I belong to, lots (and lots and lots) of junk mail from companies I purchase on-line items from. I also subscribe […]
My netbook died, almost four years to the day I bought it. It was a great little computer, ideal for writing on my work commute and at lunchtimes, and it freed up my writing so much I will be forever grateful I bought it. I have done some of my best writing to date on […]
