As you may or may not know I have a separate website that has all my writing on. The site has been going for several years and is coming on nicely thank you.
Citrus
Anyway what I was about to say was that one part of the site deals with my citrus fruits book, which has been a project that I have been doing for some time now, it must be some time, as the book has got to version 5a. Well that's not 100% true as on the site the last published version is 5. On the computer is version 5a which was started some time late last year and was basically some corrections to version 5 and some new pictures that I had found.
Version 6
Well for some reason that I have yet to work out I have been doing some more research and the result is that version 5a is now most defiantly version 6. I can say this as I have added a lot more information, mainly on different varieties of some of the citrus fruits that I did not know very much about. If anything the additions could be more than 25% more than version 5 or 5a.
Publishing
Now we come to the part that goes to make life interesting and that is what am I going to do next, do I freeze the book as it is and publish it as version 6 or do I carry on to such and such date and then publish? I have yet to make my mind up which way to go, but I do know that one way or another I will have a version 6 I just don't know if I am going to get it done before the end of 2005.

"Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell"
Finally after nearly 3 weeks of reading at dinner times only I have finished a book that I enjoyed very much. Even better the book which comes in at 1006 pages only cost me 3.73 as Tesco were doing one of there top ten book offers.
Book
The name of the book is "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" written by Susanna Clarke the first thing that got me is that this book is her first novel, and wow what a novel, I have to admit here and now that when I first saw the book in hard back I was not too sure if it was my kind of book. But I am glad that I did decided to invest 3.73 as it's money well spent I had nearly 3 weeks of great entertainment what more could you ask. As an author she now has the task of proving to everyone that she is not a one book wonder, I hope she is not as I want to know what happens next, in fact I have the feeling that she does as well.
Film, Radio?
This is a book that I think could be adapted to radio as a series and it would work real well, it would need some good casting and a director who can get his or her head around the whole of the story. As a film I suspect that a lot of the depth and richness that make the book so good would be lost which is a pity, but I think that is due to the medium of film and the fact that a book is always much richer and deeper in depth than a film can ever be.
Book Two?
I have tried to find out if she has started or nearly finished book two but so far the answers have been unanswered, which is sad, so I have allowed myself and told myself that if she does get a new book out in 2006 it will be late 2006 or early 2007 before I will get chance to read it, perhaps by then something in another medium will have turned up who knows, lets hope so.
My mood:
bouncy
distressed
enthralled
relaxed
satisfied
thoughtful

As you can see some nano fibres already exsist but non of them are like mine.

Great Ideas II
As you can tell, sometimes I use this page as a notebook were I can leave my ideas that I have so that at some stage or time in the future I can look back at them and then decided if the idea is worth spending more time on. Most of the ideas dont go anywhere e.g they don not lead to anything else other than and entry here in this note book. But sometimes the idea is worth looking at again and so the entry is a second look at an earlier idea.
Idea No 2
The basic idea is why can't you have rain water goods made in such a way that they will generate electricity?
Nano Fibre
The idea is that nano fibres are placed into the rain water goods at time of manufacturing, and they by some technique that I don't yet know of, if its at all possible the electricity generated can be channeled in such a way that it can be used to reduce the running costs of the building that the rain water goods are attached to.
Rain Water Goods
You may ask what are rain water goods and the simple answer to that question is that rain water goods are things like gutters and drain pipe work, it could also be I suppose the roof material as well, but not normally.
Problem One
The very first problem with this great idea of mine is that Nano Fibre is something that at this time does not yet exist. It may be a product that will get made sometime in the future if such a thing is possible. One thing is for certain if such a product does get made then someone is going to get very rich indeed. The other thing that is also certain is that nano fibre will exist in more than one form as it will end up being tailored for different uses and the different operating conditions that it will have to operate in. I suppose the other and that is the last thing is that the very first examples of nano fibre won't be as efficient as the later examples and the later examples will end up costing much less money as manufactures learn how to improve the process and get better production techniques in place. Its possible that lawsuits and all that sort of stuff will also happen as people realise that there is real big money to be made in using nano fibres.
Something To Think About
I have the feeling that there are more uses for nano fibres but at this time I just can't think of any more of them so when I do think of any more uses I will put them in this notebook.

ecstatic

Random Blog
Right the idea is to use this blog to record my thoughts on any websites that catch my eye.
Blog RIP?
Would you like to know why there have been no new comments in this blog here? apart from the fact that I know run my own blog software on my own bit of the internet. Well its simple really, honest.
Well I lost not only my login name but also my password, now normally loosing one means you can find the other, but when you loose both well, the results are not pretty.
I am still going to keep my main blog going, but use this one for them other blog bits and bobs now that I have found both my username and password.
