I tried to leave mobile tech behind. I even started a new blog, the unfortunately acronymized Kirvin On Writing, to review desktop size writing tools.
And then I went and bought a Windows Mobile 5 Pocket PC Phone. And wow, there’s a lot out there to learn again. I’ve missed a bit in the my most recent three year stint with Palm OS (if you actually do the math, I’ve switched every three years).
I’m still using a desktop for most of my writing, but I must admit I’m writing more on my HTC Apache than I was on my Treo, and I might start to take mass transit to work soon, giving me more opportunity to write on the go.
So what’s next for WOYP? I’m working on a how-to on making a WM5 Pocket PC just as usable one-handed as a Treo, I’ll probably have software reviews (TextMaker 2006 is in late beta) and other tips and tricks. I’m also going to focus more on writing, including the desktop stuff.
And for now, at least, I’m going back to the original publishing schedule I set down in the very first WOYP column, back in 1999 (last century, wow). That is that I’ll post new content to WOYP whenever I darned well feel like it.
That said. Welcome back. I hope I still have something worthwhile to say.
