Movable Appliance

Dec 26, 2009 by Naomi.

My laptop Toshiba is placed for operation where ever it is convenient although convenience can change with other variables. Its place until my holiday guest arrived was on a permanent table where I could sit and have references handy for articles I write for my websites. Now the machine I can hardly get along without is moved to be useful but hardly in any convenient place. Sometimes it is moved to my lap, or the kitchen counter, or to the footstool beside my easy chair. It works fine most of the time. A hindrance has been a tired mind working the keys or preparing the article. A holiday snifter of eggnog liberally laced with brandy wasn’t a big help one time either. I do wonder about putting up stuff to the WWW that I am not proud of. One neat thing is that when an article is rewritten and put up the old unfortunate one is gone — never to be seen again. I know that when I move articles on the computer they may appear lost, but by clever searching they can be found. That is not true of things in cyberspace. If the tie is broken, that article or photo is gone, gone, gone. It will have to be reloaded to the Internet to be seen again. When it comes to the blogs, those are listed and can always be found and read if one wishes to go in to look. I often read the old ones to get ideas for full blown articles. Times change and so do the minds and thoughts of readers. Often a past subject will become of interest because of influence from inventions or discoveries in other parts of the world. That’s when I try to renew the article with the more relevant information. Well sometimes I try. Sometimes I succeed. Sometimes things simply fall through the cracks. But I do like to have my Toshiba handy when I want to write.
