I<\/span>’m slowly adjusting to the new Mac format and never thought I’d say this, but I’m missing some of the old Windows features.  I did like the self-contained element of the Writing space, the editing features being available via a toolbar that descended on each space.  This seems to be a Mac thing; all the features of an opened program, and all windows open, are ruled by the main top menu bar which changes according to the program opened at the time.  Likely this is a good feature of Mac; the Microsoft manner of creating seventeen different ways to do the same thing was more confusing than anything else.  Sometimes it’s just change for its own sake that makes something seemingly less attractive.  Ruts do tend to fit one’s form more readily.<\/p>\n

I’m also having a problem in following space to space (basic) links from Mapview as I either haven’t discovered yet some setting somewhere, or my middle finger tap on the touchpad (yes, after spending $70 on a mated–and likely pregnant–mouse, I’m liking the larger touchpad of the MacBook and getting better at using it) is offensive to the cultured literary attitude of the Storyspace<\/em> program. The thing is, I must have had it working before because this is how I work in Map.  This too, I shall figure out.<\/p>\n

The title of the piece has changed.  Self Love <\/em>was the dumbest, but I’m sure that anything with the word ‘suicide’ in it has already been done to death (pun!).  So the new title is simply The Hanging<\/em>.  It’s not really about that so much as paths that bring one to the site, and the changes in direction for those left behind.  Only with a slightly quirkier take.<\/p>\n

This has been quite an experience so far, and with the change in format to Mac, I’m loving the challenges that go beyond what a writer already faces the moment he first put pencil to paper.  Change is a good thing.  I can deal with change.  And nobody’s here to watch as I tap the mousepad and scowl because nothing’s happening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
