It would have come in handy as I could have at least gotten the storm photos off the camera to a flash and driven them to the paper. With the changing platforms getting a laptop is not likely to happen anytime soon either. <abbr><em>Deb´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GsCottage/~3/415408817/ohio-wind-storm-of-september-14.html" rel="nofollow">Ohio wind storm of September 14</a></abbr></em> Sadly no laptop here.

I'm going to keep the NaNo posts coming all through October so stay tuned! @Diane Well, I'll be glad to pick up the baton at the other end of your writing shift! :) As for the site, I created this theme myself based on one I worked up for Drupal. That said, I'd probably buy an off the shelf theme next time and customize it. There are so many good ones out there. I just wanted to learn a little about the platform. I know that <a href="http://www.menwithpens.ca" rel="nofollow">James and Harry do WP custom work</a>. You might want to check in with them. @Anthony Costa Blanca! You're making me jealous! Ever make it down the coast to Alicante? ;) I need to buy a new battery soon myself. This one is not taking such a great charge anymore. @Karen Glad you liked it!

The battery on my laptop was never as good as I wanted - an hours use at tops but got worse. I ordered a new battery over the internet, and an invertor for use in the car so I could sit there for a while. The new battery is good for over two hours - never had to use the inverter. I'm chuffed to death. <abbr><em>Anthony James Barnett - author .´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/PQMr/~3/413522607/interview-with-author-nik-morton.html" rel="nofollow">An interview with author, Nik Morton</a></abbr></em> I often write in one of the Marina-front bars in Moraira (Spain) whilst my wife is in the hairdressers.

I am NOT a morning person, though I do love sitting in a quiet house while it's dark and raining. However, it looks like I'm going to be the only one sitting in a quiet house while it's dark AND at night. I do most of my writing between 10p and 3a PST. If anyone wants to join me.... ;) P.S. Do you have a blog designer or did you just tweek your own WP theme? Both of my blogs need a major re-do, and I'm not sure where to start. Ideas? <abbr><em>Diane Penna´s last blog post..<a href="http://crazymomsjournal.com/2008/10/dear-kid-thursday-favorites/" rel="nofollow">Dear Kid Thursday: Favorites</a></abbr></em> Oh boy.

I am in need of a new laptop, hmmm maybe I can swing one before NaNo. :-) The power goes out a lot here in MI, so this one really hit home. Thanks for the NaNo prep, I am so ready to rock it! P.S. Answering machine?
