The Daily Report

Yesterday I figured out how to put IndieGoGo widgets on pages and put one on the Tales of MU website. That was enough to break the doldrums on my moving fund without me having to embed the video at the end of the chapter again, and enough to get us into the quadruple digits. The stretch from nine hundred to one thousand was the slowest part so far. Nothing succeeds like success, so hopefully it will continue to pick up from here.

Yesterday went really well from me, work-wise. I think my week off to re-focus helped, as did having the structure to my day from HabitRPG and everything that comes with that. Things like eating, drinking water, and taking my pills on a more timely basis help quite a bit.

The State of the Me

Feeling really pretty good.

Plans For Today

Writing stuff!

More on Office.

...so not only have I managed to get the Office On Demand streaming application to work, but I've also got the Office web app (a different, in-browser approach to the same end result that wasn't working for me before) working. This is even better, because it loads faster and I imagine it will work in situations where the On Demand system won't (like somebody else's computer where I don't have necessary permissions).

Though bizarrely, the web app doesn't seem to be able to create new files. The "new" option is missing from its file tab, and on the screen that shows my SkyDrive office files, clicking an existing file opens it in the browser and clicking a blank file streams the On Demand app to create it.

So basically, Microsoft continues to deliver a somewhat baffling user experience attached to otherwise great products.
