Wheels Have Traction, Finally
I'm no longer spinning my wheels on my current short story. It's moving along quite nicely, in fact, though I doubt I'll have it ready in time for my next writer's meeting. If you go to my webcam, you can actually see me working on it.
Yes, I still have a webcam. It seems that they've fallen out of style, now, especially with the demise of JenniCAM (the original, much celebrated, and now defunct webcam site). That, and the fact that I don't keep mine on 24/7. I could, but, who would really want that? And also, it would eat up my bandwidth allowance.
Interesting that we've arrived at a place where a webcam seems old fashioned.
Speaking of old fashioned, I discovered that old-style computer BBS systems are making a comeback. Weird! It must be a nostalgia thing for old geeks (like me). The new thing is, though, is that instead of calling them up via modem, you telnet into them via the Internet. Like, here's my local one: Collin County Station BBS
A direct telnet link: telnet://web-idiot.d2g.com/
This one also allows you to call up via modem. Well. How quaint.
Okay, enough jibber-jabber. Back to writing...

Not only would dialing via modem be 'quaint', you might end up dialing "The Wrong Number" ;-)
