I spent some time the other day looking for writing skills on Github. The one I found first was Creative Writing Skills , which is actually far more. First off, I had Claude read through it. Claude created a folder named " untitled-story ", which you can download here if you are interested. You can use it with Claude Cowork(which is what I will do here and what Jimmy recommends). But if you prefer a different agent, just point it at the folder and turn it loose. One (optional) addition I made today was adding a folder full of Jason Hamilton 's genre guides - in this example, the alpha male romance. You can also add some of your own work into the draft folder but in this case, I was starting at the very beginning. Since I didn't have a story ready, I had Claude generate 10 Log Lines. I chose this one and added it to the folder. < Snowbound Sovereign — Fleeing a corrupt sheriff, a small-town waitress crashes her car outside a mou...

So in getting the Nexus 6 , I also wanted to change away from Verizon. Not because the services was terrible - it actually worked pretty well - but it was kind of expensive and CDMA and just not what I was looking for these days. After doing some research, I decided I really wanted to go with the $30 plan (100 min/unlimited text+data) from T-Mobile. I had heard good things about it - even from the Verge's Nilay Patel , who you would think would be somewhat picky. But I still hesitated ordering from Wal-mart.com . So Thursday afternoon after the phone arrived, I made a trip out to the store. I wasn't even sure exactly what I was looking for but in the Electronics section there was a whole display of various cell-phone related items - including some rectangular boxes that sounded like they were exactly what I wanted. The only immediate problem is that they are locked in so I hard to turn to the counter for assistance. There was one Associate behind the counter - waiting on som...

I haven't posted here in a while but I wanted to see how Dynamic Views worked. Pretty Slick so far. The new backend is nice as well. The old one worked pretty well for a long time but was really looking dated.

I just got an e-mail from Blogger about the upcoming change to ftp access . So I did some switching around and this blog is now back at the original location. And maybe I will increase the post frequency here to less than 5 years between posts. Let us hope.

I would love to find a way to combine the security of Strongspace with the ease of use of FolderShare . It just seems like such a natural to me.

This morning, I read this post. News Hounds (motto: We watch FOX so you don't have to) reports on the latest Fox News fear-mongering. - Ed Bott I decided to make a comment. I would recommend that you read it, only hours later it has yet to appear. Despite the fact that Ed has posted several things since then. In my comment, I linked to this post. Do any of the wingnuts on the right seriously believe that if a terrorist can kill and injure people in London, England, that it can’t happen in Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., or any of a hundred of our cities? Even I don’t think they’re that dumb. It’s clear that they aren’t so stupid. It is plainly obvious that they do not care. - Oliver Willis So to repeat as best as I can remember what I said earlier: Why is it "fear-mongering" when a terrorism expert makes a general statement but perfectly acceptable for a leftist like Oliver Willis to make the same point in a rambling, foundation-less attack on George W. Bush? I am...
