Writely Invites!

[cybermathwitch]

Firstly, I have Writely invites if anyone wants one. Writely isn't a blog, it's an online wordprocessing program that allows users to create, edit, and collaborate on documents online. You can upload, download, store, and email documents via the program, and it has a pretty flexible formatting system (you can do most types of text-effects, sizes, fonts, etc that you could do in Word or a similar program, and it will export in most of the major file formats, including Word and Open Office.) Google has joined the site as a partner and registration is technically closed down while they fiddle with it, but you can still get in via invites. It is particularly useful for group projects or for writing and beta-reading fic. (Which would be why I joined up.)

Secondly, I have completely redone my journal - title, color scheme, the lot of it. Instead of going with one of the pre-made colourways I made my own from a picture of a stormfront off of Flickr. I used Pixie to pin down the html color codes in parts of the picture, then applied them to the Smooth Sailing style in LJ. I didn't actually use a photo in the design, because I haven't re-installed my Picture Publisher 8 yet. But I like it very, very much the way it is. I managed to get the colors and contrasts that appeal to me so much in a storm-threatened sky. I'm sure just about everyone reads my journal via their f-list, but if you happen to meander on over to the journal proper, I'd love to know what you think.

Thirdly, I'm on my way to a doctor's appointment to have a stress test. I'm not sure how it'll go - it depends on if they want me to walk or run, and if they want me to run, how long it's for, because of my asthma. But I'm hoping I'll be able to do it w/o them having to schedule a nuclear one. What I'm hoping for, if anyone wants to throw prayers or energy this way, is that either a. everything will show up ok BECAUSE IT REALLY IS OK, or b. they'll see what's actually going on if there's something wrong. I'm emphasizing that first part because I don't want it to look like it's fine and then not be.

I'd be interested in checking out Writely. I haven't really written anything since NaNoWriMo last November.

My e-mail address is gbleddynn (at) gmail (dot) com.

One should be on the way. ;)

Got it! Thanks. :)

I guess it's the day for doctors. :( I went this morning and she wants me to get the pneumonia vaccine and update my tetnus because apparently now they make it with something to prevent whooping cough. I hate asthma. Best wishes my dear. Ack, running. With asthma. If you're anything like me then you can go for a bit and not all that fast, but there is a fine line between breathing and wheezing...and doubling over. *Energy tossed in your direction*

Thankees. Everything went swimmingly (or should that be walkingly?). I did have to tell them to stop, but not until after they'd gotten to my target heart rate, and everything checked out clear.

Yes, my asthma is just like that. Also, lifting stuff gives me problems, which makes moving a frakking pain.

Shots = yuck... but I 'spose it is better than the alternative. Although I'm not sure I get how whooping cough and tetnus go together? I have a few more years to wait on another tetnus shot, though, because there was this painting that fell on me...

(really not bad, just some glass cuts and stitches - but I had to get an updated tetnus shot.)

I'm glad all went okay. As for the tetnus thing, I guess there's some additive that coincidentally is effective against whooping cough. I don't even know how you get whooping cough, but it sounds nasty! *goes to check wikipedia*

One Tetanus booster used presently is called TDap or DTaP (a protection from Diphtheria and Pertussis as well). The risk from Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (whooping cough) is higher than the risk of vaccine side-effects

Okay, so there we have it.

I'm watching Harry Potter :) Thought of you!

Sounds like they made medicine soup.

hee! Harry/Ron/Hermione are my OT3. I actually have about 40,000+ words on a Trio!fic I started for NaNoWriMo back in, oh, 2003. (yikes!) I keep meaning to work on it again. (Though given the way that the K/L fic I'm working on right now is going, I almost wish I'd waited 'til November, as I might actually could stretch it to that many words. Or, well, probably not, but it was supposed to be a vignette. Not so much anymore.)

If you wouldn't mind sending me one invitation I would really appreciate it. I'm waiting to see it for months now but not much happens on the waiting list :)

Hi. One should be on it's way shortly. I'm curious as to how you found me, though? (I'm always curious when new people show up at my humble webby abode. Unless you're someone I know that I just don't know that I know. You know? ::g::)
