Jody Daniel: Blog

Hi all!
I just got all three of my laptops “connected” so that I can use one mouse and one keyboard to control them all. Man, this is multifunctional multitasking like nothing else! It’s funny to edit a chapter on one laptop, while the middle one is rendering a picture for the chapter in DAZ, and email and internet are running on laptop three on the right.

I just slide my mouse from one screen to the other and work as if it's all one machine. No more carting files from one LT to the other with thumb drives and external drives! Just drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste. FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!

Oh, the wonder of technology... Okay, okay, for some of you this is old tech. But to me, it just made my life much smoother!

Here is Chapter 21 of “Let the River Run.” Enjoy!

Bye for now!

Hi all!
All the armour against the ice bears running around here is out of the closet and the heating of the house is activated. Both cats take the winter a little bad. So, try getting a good night sleep with both the little furry bundles inside the bed under the blankets. With the wife on one side and me on the other side while the cats take up the rest of the bed. Phew! Not good. But hey, they get cold too...

On the “Let the River Run” front, I’m writing on chapter 27 now, and I think you guys and girls will be in for a big surprise. It blew my editors out of the water, so... Watch this space.

Here is chapter 20 of “Let the river run.” Have fun and enjoy.

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!

And so Monday rolls around again. Great! I love Mondays. Why? Because I don’t need to get up before the sun and join the rat race! LOL!!!!!!

I hope you are all okay and feeling good.

I have been experimenting with 2 new websites, but yeah... they are all a little disappointing. You need a Ph.D. in nuclear science to get anything done and uploaded. So, for the time being, my external blog will be updated and running.

I intend to upload a video of Kait, Adrian and some other things to that blog, but will let you know when it is done and uploaded.

Here is chapter 19 of “Let the river run.” Have fun and Enjoy!

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!
The new project is not going well. I think it will all start to come together when all the action in “Let The River Run” fades a bit. LOL! NO SPOILERS!

On the other hand, I think I’ll just scrap that project and start something new. I’ll get back to that project later. So back to the drawing board... Sigh.

Here is chapter 18 of “Let the river run.” Have fun.

Enjoy.

Bye 4 now!

Hi all!
And here we are at Tuesday. LOL!!! I hope the new SOL servers will be good. Those guys really worked to get it all up and running.

ORIGINAL MONDAY BLOG ENTRY:
I hope you are doing well, are safe and in good health.
And while “Let the River Run” started off with a storm and flood, that in fact did take place during January and February this year in the Kruger National Park, there was some devastating floods in the Western Cape, South Cape, and Eastern Cape not so long ago. It left 11 people dead and huge infrastructure destruction. One woman died when a tree fell on her car. Sad...

My niece send me pictures of the damage on the farm she works and lives on. Three bridges out and had to be rebuilt so they could reach cut off workers and other families in the valley. They even had a foot of snow down in the valley.

I send that pictures to my editor and he suggested I send my niece a link to “Let the River Run”. I don’t think she would appreciate it.

But slowly life returns to normal.

Here is chapter 17 of “Let the river run.” Have fun.
Enjoy.
Bye 4 now!
