Too tired to live. Three OT days in a row. Found out today that I have to work on Thanksgiving and the day after. Not supposed to have to do that in a damned office job. I've never had to work on Thanksgiving before. This sucks!

I got home so late tonight that there hasn't been much time to write, but I couldn't die--uh, sleep--without writing a little.

You mean, someone out there actually uses Notepad for something other than HTML? ::boggles::

See, by the time I actually FOUND where Notepad is in the maze of Microsquish "Start" menus, Word would be open and screaming, "Good gods, woman, why did you open me if you aren't going to use me?"

LOL I use Notepad for lots of things. My first novel's first draft was written ENTIRELY in Notepad, all 180,000ish words of it. At the time I only had a Win3.1 machine, and although I had Wordperfect, I knew that program was going to die soon (I was a tech reporter at the time) and didn't want to lock up files in that format anymore. So I wrote in Notepad, then eventually took files to work to run through Word there for spellcheck and stuff. Then I saved them as .txt to take them back home for more work in Notepad. :)

But yeah, I do also use Notepad for HTML, and it's bloody useful when you want to cut-and-paste from the Web and strip all formatting off (i.e. if you're going to copy a bit of text into an email). I know there are more robust programs out there, but Notepad works so hey, I'm gonna keep using it! :)
