NaNoWriMo Day 3/30: 10% Done!
Posted by rutang5 on November 3, 2006
Still on track for the National Novel Writing Month challenge. I have to say, I’m impressed that I’ve been able to actually develop a semi-plot without having one when I started on Wednesday. Three days and 5,132 words later, I might actually have a halfway decent start of a story arc by now. Either that, or I’ve passed away unexpectedly due to a massive typing-induced blood clot to my brain and I’m stuck typing the same 1,667 words over and over again in Purgatory until I can find a better way of treating my characters.
Oh, I found a great little trick online today. For anyone using MS-Word who just has to see how many words they’ve typed since the last punctuation mark, try the new word count toolbar. Screenshot below shows how to get to it. I’ve highlighted the “recount” button, which just begs to be clicked at least a couple times a minute. This can’t be healthy.
See you tomorrow for the next exciting update!

ohhhhh math type… Must hack Rutang’s desktop…
Or, you could just tell me where you found that and if it’s as cool as I immediately think anything that has ‘math’ and ‘type’ in it must be. Can I make a turing machine with it? Can I make more discrete math stuff faster to torment students with?

If you are dead and in purgatory, does that mean we don’t have class monday? Or are you so evil you would come back from the dead to torment your students?

I would have to say the latter. I will haunt you all from the grave with AJAX assignments and discrete math exercises.
Berserker, I’m going to try and remember where I found Math Type, and if it was of any good use.
