I found Jim Bernheimer’s Webpage while reading a rather good Harry Potter fanfiction called “The Lie I’ve Lived” on FFN. IT’s an interesting story and I encourage everyone to go read that.

The man is also working on several original projects, like myself, and has actually published some of them through Amazon.com and other outlets. I encourage everyone to go look at his stuff and support another talented author in anyway they can.

Decided to give kBlooger 1 a trial run. I have to admit that even for alpha software it does look like it will turn out well. First problem though is no tags so I have to add that later. Second problem is no image uploading, so I have to do that in the site itself. I’ll see how everything works over time. Maybe some things will be fixed as it progresses into beta and then stable 1.0. Who knows.

Here’s a screen shot.

The guys at roflrazzi.com have a point.

Started playing around with KOffice 2 today. Honestly I don’t really mind it. A lot of the features that I had issues with from before have been fixed. The program is bringing up OpenOffice.org generated odt files up properly now without an extra blank page at the beginning. The program did crash when I hit undo, which is a bug I hope will be fixed.

As a program I do like how it looks. It still needs to be able to export to HTML properly for me to be really happy, considering I need HTML for Darkscribes.

I saw this on slashdot and was floored by the coolness factor. This is definitely a DIY I would attempt if I had the time, energy, materials, and funds to pull i off.

This Maximum PC Article has all the information you need to create your own basic multi-touch surface computer. Obviously You could take that and modify it as you saw fit, perhaps a different setup for video, change the cabinets design, add ports or drive bays to the outside to make things interesting. Maybe even go as far as o add everything else you want.

Definitely worth reading, if you have the time and money certainly worth trying.

I’m curious if I should take the fanfiction links down and replace them with the actual stories or not. I’m considering it but I sort of want to leave my fanfics and original work a little separate.

Any thoughts on this?

I’m just sitting here right now trying to think up story ideas. I’ve got a few things in my head for stories that might be interesting to write. I’m just going to toss out some ideas in my head and then see what sticks. Honestly, I want to try to get a lot of ideas out right now though my brain seems to be running dry. I’ll be making an effort to post some thoughts but mostly I’ll keep my ideas to myself so I can run with them.

We’ll see what comes up as I go. How do you try to drum up original ideas for your stories if you write?

Found this article on Writer’s Digest.com and I’ve been using it as a basis to try to improve both DD and Imperium some for future usage. I’m not entirely certain yet what I can do, but I’m going to do it and I’m going to solicit assistance from the general community on how to get where I’m trying to get. I’ll be adding on to both sites and try to make things a bit more professional over time.

Every little bit huh.

I’ve finally added real content to the site, or at least a bit more. NO new chapters, but a new little glimpse into the history of the Imperium, and a look into the Vampire mind.

Been trying to rebuild my collection somewhat. Been looking at the classic anime collection box sets so I’m already making a list of series I want to purchase. I have always loved animated programs, and anime has ALWAYS been one of my favorite genres of animation. Granted, in the US we call the stuff from Japan Anime, while to them, it’s just plain old cartoons.
