Today's ideas: Bento box speakers, modular housing layouts, and a modular writing program/app with formatting add-ons and a non-proprietary file format like fucking .rtf or something that you can use on your phone & then carry on using in Word without interruption ( Read more... )

I feel like mundane adventures should be illustrated by pictures more often.

The brain thing is something people seem to have mentioned a lot that when therapy? Brain doesn't like being poked, but brain has to be poked if you want to deal with anything that's in there. Blerh.

I know we both predicted it but it still isn't any kind of fun.

No, it is shitty and I am sorry. And it is impressive you are still going.

That writing app idea sounds really good! I've got an app that can jump between my computer and my table without interruption (er, generally - it does cloud syncing, and 95% of the time that means you open the file and it's current). It's very handy.

Achy and snotty and bad time of the month are a bad combination and make it hard to think.

The traffic cone looks awesome!

Sorry your brain is being difficult. I think you're right that it's acting out because you're changing a lot of the familiar ways of dealing with stuff, and that's creating stress.

I've floated the idea on facebook and the various programming types inform me that a modular app is impossible because Android etc is set up for discrete apps to avoid interference (I can see that it would be pretty much ripe for abuse) and so far the main suggestion has been to use Markdown, which seems a bit more complicated than I really want. I'm still stuck at emailing files back and forth between tablet and laptop, and just writing notes to myself on the phone.

Pretty awful, although I put the binder on and felt rather like superman in comparison - still snotty and period-painy but once again able to stand up properly without my boobs destroying my back (and then ran for a bus and HEARD my ankle make a CRUNCH noise and guess what now isn't working).

I am just going to pour vodka on it if it keeps misbehaving, or sleep aggressively at it.

Weird. It doesn't sound that different from what I have with Pages. (I think they mostly save files in a proprietary format, but they can do .doc or .rtf or several other things, they automatically cloud-sync so you can write on one device and open the file on the other, and you can put it pretty easily on a tablet, laptop and phone.) That's Apple, not Android, but you'd think it wouldn't be hugely different.

That binder is awesome. You should wear it a lot. (Ooh, bad luck with the ankle!)

Good plan!

There's often a gap between what's available for IOS and Android, though. I mean, there's that one for writing books which all the Mac users I know are mad keen on (script-something? Cannot remember) which is apparently mad good but I can't find it for love nor money working on a Windows machine & am still clunking along in Word.

Just ugh! about the Halal/bacon face-off :-/

After reading about Brown Bread Boys in your most recent post, I bought it on Kindle! (I still haven't read Tame though, sorry, but only because I've not read anything except for a few pages of Melanie's 'Whitechapel' for months)

I got through patches like that with reading as well. Hopefully you're doing something else fun instead?

Spending too much time on Facebook as usual, although usually these days it's in the doll collecting groups. I started collecting Pedigree Sindys late last year, and that got me back into Barbies (Vintage to modern), so it's nice to have a hobby and meet lots of people. You know about all the medical stuff with my mother and that I moved back home etc?

Yup. :( As you probably noticed, I keep sewing things when I should be reading (for book purposes) and I bet you any money as soon as I decide I HAVE to sew something I'll be all over reading again. I know this brain!
