It’s the eighteenth of March here in Australia, which means I’ve just turned another year older. We’re still fixing things up after
Over the weekend I dropped three hundred bucks to pick up a Dell Inspiron that was on sale at my local JB HiFi. I’d been edging around the idea of getting a small netbook capable of running OneNote while I’m gaming for a few weeks, and I seriously thought that would be all I used it for – a small computer that weighted less than a hardcover, tucked into my gaming bag alongside the dice and session notes.
Not good for writing, I figured. 4 meg of ram. Ten inch screen. Itty bitty keyboard. Who in hell is going to use that for writing work?
Then I proceeded to take the damn thing everywhere for three straight days, because it’s about the same weight as packing a hardcover Moleskin into my bag. And the keyboard is surprisingly functional, after the first few attempts at typing on it. And because the Inspiron will actually handle Scrivener better than my desktop, which means I’ve got a computer on me that is actually usable while sitting at bus stops or train stations.
Me and the Inspiron, it may be a thing.

I’m writing this from an apartment packed down for impending cyclone/hurricane due to hit Brisbane some time in the next 24 hours.
I recently offered GenrePunk Ninja subscribers a list of options for a series of deep dive entries, and got them to vote

OneNote is great.
Taken forever to get OneNote down – in part cause me and tech are unmixy. Finally got it yesterday….unsure how to use it and unsure if I have brain function to try.
Interested to see how it continues to work out for you. I always thought the smaller keyboard would play havoc with my fingers. But I do use surface pro at work sometimes, & its keyboard is quite small.
