And another post

I called Audrey's and my book ordering guy isn't in on weekends. Because I placed the order in last night, I don't think it will go through until Monday. In, which case I'm calling Audrey's first thing Monday morning to order the Everquest novels and the first 4 Warcraft novels.

Going over Robert J Sawyer's blog and his current blog post talks about something called Celtx. It's an Open Source piece of software RJS says is a pretty good tool. He likes the virtual index card approach. He seems to endorse this software and seems pretty excited about it, that's good enough for me. From the brief overview of the software it seems that it's more suited to script writers then anything else. So I'm going to download this in a bit and play around with it. See if it's something I can use.

Anne left to go out and do her shopping and I've got the afternoon off here. Good times. On Dennis Hurds Blog he talks about SDHC memory cards and he showed an image of a 16Gb SD media card. I think the price was around $230 per card. They've been out since about February. Before I buy, I'm going to wait until they go up to 100Gb. I'd say 32Gb by September. 64Gb by the end of the year. By the end  of next year 100Gb. The only thing is, I think the transfer rates are iffy but on a 16Gb card you can hold up to 2 hours of video and over 7,000 photographs. Pretty cool. I recall a few years ago, I think April 2005 when I first got my little MP3 Rush player we bought a $512 SD media card for about $80. A few months ago Anne bought me a 2Gb SD media card from Superstore for $15. The price seems to drop after every couple of generation increases. At Future Shop they are offering the Sd Scandisk 8Gb cards for $64. What a difference a few years make in the tech world.

Anyway Bloggers, that's all for now.
