Scrivener Tutorial – How I Write
| Technology | 40 commentsI love Scrivener. If any of you have read my little comparison review of Scrivener, Storyist and Storymill, you already know this. I adore this little piece of software. Sometimes I spend time browsin’ the web, looking for other people who love Scrivener. This is sad. However, it’s allowed me to come to one shocking… read more »

Top Content by Title Rape Time!
| Random | no commentsJust a short blurb to inform you all that, for some reason, the top visited page on this site is my Pyramid Head wallp post. By far. As in, absolutely no contest. I understand that PH is made of bloody awesome, but still. Strange world.

Assassin’s Creed 1 and 2: Great, big, awesome posters
| Design | 7 commentsI couldn’t resist; there are so many lovely hi-res images out there of both of our favorite assassins, it was simply too easy to mock up two gi-normous posters featuring Altaïr and Ezio. These aren’t printed yet, and I’ll post an update to show you what they look like in my, ahem, boudoir, which is… read more »

NaNoWriMo 09 and various other things
| Random | no commentsI’m happy to report that I managed to finish NaNo on time; it was my first year actually trying, and I’m pretty pleased with what I accomplished. I’ve left my NaNo story aside for now. It was written pretty quickly, and I think it needs to ripen a bit before I go back to it…. read more »

NaNoWriMo ’09
| Random | no commentsWell, I jumped. I’ve been thinking of trying NaNo for years and years, but have only just gotten enough courage to actually sign up. On Silver Wings has been extremely good practice for me, and although I’ve been busy as hell and updates are getting scarce, I adore it to death; it’s taught me a… read more »

Oh, please, C&C!
| Random | no commentsTo everyone who registered on the blog for On Silver Wings, feel free to post comments and criticism on any and all chapters. The -draft chapters especially, since they are chapters which haven’t yet been screened by my extremely patient and talented beta-readers. If you have ideas, please share them; if you spot errors or… read more »

| Technology | 16 commentsWith the rising popularity of the Mac OS platform, a number of small developers and software companies have found niche markets for themselves; the Getting Things Done crowd, the Tweaking freaks, the App Launchers; all have their own list of best-of software titles and nifty little apps. There are so many choices now to replace… read more »

Changes for Mac and Scribbler for iPhone
| Technology | no commentsFound this neat little app called Changes that allows you to compare, side-by-side and with color overlays, the differences between text documents. This seems pretty boring and useless until you realize how many damn lines are in a fanfiction or novel and how long and tedious it quickly becomes to re-read your own and proofreader’s… read more »

SugarSync VS DropBox
| Technology | 15 commentsWell. I’m back to the battle of Cloud Syncs. I’d been using DropBox for a good long while to sync my writing across several computers and to access my files on the go. As it happened, the lack of options and sharing support on DropBox eventually made me abandon the application completely. If you want… read more »

Managing your eczema
| Random | no commentsI’m a graphic designer. Therefore, I’m addicted to coffee and I suffer from mild eczema; I personally think it comes with the job, although they definitely don’t warn you in college. If you’re like me (that is, you live in a country where healthcare is free…), you’ve been to see more dermatologists than you care… read more »

Macpaw’s CleanMyMac is a life (and space!) saver…
| Random | no commentsYou know that new computer feel? That speed and snazzyness you only get right out of the box? Well, you can have that feeling back. Macpaw’s CleanMyMac removes logs, cache files, useless language files (yay!) and, listen to this, unnecessary universal binaries. I think I died and woke up in heaven. Mail, Safari and iLife… read more »
