Techy Madness!

  • Mood - Activity: Space Cadet
  • Music: Black: The Shroud
  • Smoking Blend: Bandido Cheroot
  • Tea Levels: Left my cup somewhere around here...

Blah, blah, blah, the latest is I'm going blind.

Okay, really trying to pull my shite together here so spent the WHOLE F'ING DAY yesterday trying to learn ebook compiler programs... Ahem. Well to make a LONG and horrendously technical story shorter I had to download some (several) HTML webpage builder software WYSIWYG (really, they are called that. Literally means "What You See Is What You Get" Sheesh!) programs and try to figure out THAT happy crappy too. Seems all files i.e. word and text documents need to be done in HTML or else ebook compilers can't read them.

Huh.

Okay, did that and ended up with a loooong one page ebook because it doesn't recognize things like "next page" unless you hyperlink to a second HTML file.

(Tapping some frustrated fingers by that point.)

Okay, did that. Meaning made a file for 2 pages, saved, made file for next 2 pages, saved, yada-yada etc...

Hmm, seems after your main index.html file you can't just title the next Page2, Page3, Page4...oh, you can, only when you get to Page10 the proggy reads "10" before "2" the one before two, right?

Thus my day from 10am to 8pm was spent thusly. From that point it was pull out an old favorite PC game POOL OF RADIANCE (a D&D thingy) and blast the bloody hell out of as well as chop up some zombies and other crawling beasties. Wonderful therapy, I swear

Too much though 'cause next time I looked around birds were singing and the sun was up. Yikes, 6:35am so time for bed.

Question was how to spend this day off? Well, went music surfing, found this great Gothe Belly Dancing CD called "Strange Flesh" and got a free tune from www.payplay.com though may get the whole thing soon. Got the "Black:: The Shroud" playing right now and it's pretty groovy.

   

A little blog time then think I'm going to get the demo for the next ebook compiler proggy to check out.

Details, details, details, bleck. Have to watch those things. I mean the little one I am testing is great, can host the finished ebook on your own website and generate PIN codes (so people can open it if it's not free) yourself...but this bigger proggy looks cool too. Only you buy it and you are stuck with their website for life. Not the hosting, but they are the ones who generate the PIN codes for YOUR books. Not too sure I like that, but it's still better then the ones who from there make you go to another company who are only ones can sell and let folks download your work.

Man, may hit that retirement bottle of Baileys I got...

Okay, better get cracking something today seeing it's 2pm.

Cheers till next time folks. Will try for interesting, only it's not very these days. Or better, keeping some stuff to myself a' bit. Too much energy drain to rehash by writing, better to get over and do something productive.

Laters!
