Hi all, I’ve been damned busy recently, due to a number of reasons all culminating in laziness. Actually, I wrote two posts in the last week or so, but I haven’t posted either… Because I chose not to. It’s likely neither post will see the light of day – one because it was pre-emptive, and the other because it was more personal than I intended. Anyway…

As a result of me not posting a damned thing, I’ve been feeling a little restless –I need to post something, but I’m in a bit of a slump. Thus, I added Skribit (see widget in sidebar), where readers can suggest something for me to post about. And I decided to write up this quick post inviting you to my dad’s website:

Newbegin Writing

In block quote form, no less. Why not?

Anyway, my old man writes about various things, and he makes me chuckle, but he also wrote a sci-fi novel. If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, it might be worth your while to check it out.

Oh, and yes, I’m aware the site needs to be updated… I designed his site, so it’s all down to my laziness… Again… I think I’ll migrate the blog to replace the static site – it will be much easier.

So yeah… go to his site, buy his book, and pop a suggestion in skribit to the right. If you like.

Peace, and catch you soon with rad ideas.

Damn! It’s getting cold already!

Anyway, since I first heard of netbooks, I wanted one. I thought of it as a good way to have the net on the run – good for blogging, taking notes, wasting time, checking email… You know, a good way for a wannabe writer to maintain… And, as I kind of expected, netbooks are hugely popular — everybody seems to want one… But I don’t think I’m ready to buy in just yet..

I like to think of myself as being lazy. That’s not really something that you would expect to hear someone saying, but hey — not only is it true, it’s beneficial. Why so? Well, my friend, because I find things that make life easier, and I try them out. So I want to pass on my experiences to you good folk.

Now, I’m not going to claim to be able to produce anywhere near the amount of good tips as Lifehacker, for example, but hey, if I find something I like, I’ll point it out!

And what have I discovered today, good people of the ‘net? Windows Live Writer. Sure, many of you may already know of it, but I never thought there was a reason to use it…
