#abiword

I started work on my NaNoWriMo for this year last night,  I’ve decided to go for one of the ideas that I rejected last year. I’ve had a year to think about it and flesh it out and to forget about the dream that inspired it. So here’s hoping it will work.

I’ve only written 593 words so far but I’ve got a start that I think I like. Maybe I’ll star posting it when I’m done…

I’m trying a new word processor called AbiWord, When I say new Abiword isn’t new, in fact it’s been about for years. The reason I’ve decided to use it is that they’ve just released a new service called AbiCollab which means that I can write my story using a word processor on one computer and have it stored on a server to download on another computer if I want to work on it there.

I found this to be a bit troublesome last year, as I often use one of many computers. I’d have used Google Docs but for some reason I like the meatyness of a fat client word processor. Anyway that’s all for now I need to get back to work.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to test it out on this computer because my work proxy seems to be blocking whatever protocol AbiCollab uses.
