Nice to hear from you again, thanks for stopping in to say hello. I hope that you will have a chance to try out some of the programs, and that they will prove to be as useful to you as they have been to me.

There are big changes happening right now with regards to OS platform and it will be good for all of us.

You know, you made me think – I’ll have to look closer at my output, I do type very quickly and if I were to concentrate my efforts into a project (and scale back my commenting everywhere ) I could move mountains.

Thanks for the great thought!

I got curious about how many words I write and grabbed the raw text from my last month of site postings. It came to 29,119 words. Of course since some of that is screen pastes and the like I really wrote less than that, but I don’t think that 5,000 words a week is unusual at all.

I’ve been posting to my website for more than ten years now – I just ran the raw text through “wc -w” and got the astonishing figure of 3,880,318 words – something right around 30,000 words per month – so that’s more evidence that it isn’t particularly unusual. And of course that isn’t anything close to full time writing – it probably represents about eight hours weekly.

I bet if you counted up what you actually write you might be surprised to find yourself closer to Monika’s output than you thought.

I thought that one would get you I use all three platforms and prefer the two that are not Windows if at all possible…

Nothing says you couldn’t run it via WINE or Crossover or virtualization, I suppose – I hope you do write a blog post about this, I like the way you write.

I especially enjoyed your recent post about installing Vista Home Premium. I feel your pain… why any version of Linux or BSD can install on my A7N8X-X mainboard with all chipset drivers supported, and Vista… well, blame nVidia actually. But that’s another story, maybe for a comment at your blog!

Thanks for stopping by – Brett

“Q10 runs under Windows.
No version for Linux or Mac is planned.”

I think I feel a blog post welling up

I’m glad that you enjoyed reading about these programs, as I enjoyed writing about them very much! Let me know what you think once you’ve had a chance to try some of them.

no need to apologize, you’ve been busy and when you have to work, you have to work. We’re always just a quick hello away and you know I’m always on Skype and up for a virtual flat white

You are welcome for the link, and thank *you* as well for the link back from your blog today – your words are very kind!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today and say hello – we do miss you very much out here, Monika, as you always add inspiration and insight to the conversation.

Talk with you soon my friend – Brett

That was a wonderful suggestion on these tools. I actually heard of the Dark Room before but not the Q10 and might give them a test run soon.

I’m also terribly sorry for the late reply here (I seem to do that a lot lately, but guys I’m really so deep in work right now that I don’t have time to do my daily rounds much).

It sucks as I miss the interaction but there will come a time when I’m back in the fold. Thanks for the generous link too Brett.

I love how you choose your topics, they are always so thought provoking.

I know what you mean, I am happy to be able to use two monitors at work, and I’ll often do something similar, typing on one screen while taking from references on the other.
